Long Overdue...

Seriously, where have I been for the past month??  My poor blog has been neglected!  Between FRG responsibilities, fundraisers, packing to be gone for 3 months, traveling over 1000 miles, Thanksgiving, a recent bout with the flu and taking care of 2 little girls, I guess my days have been full!  Not only have I neglected the blog, I haven't taken as many pictures since Chad left.  Even over Thanksgiving, I only took a few pictures!  I promise to do better over Christmas!  

I do have a few pictures to share... Our FRG put together stockings for the guys in our unit.  I had this great idea that all the kids could decorate the cookies while we  stuffed stockings...yeah 4 kids under 5 didn't lend themselves to much unsupervised decorating!  So...I took most of them home to decorate.  Addison was a big helper though!  She only licked a few. ;)  I got pretty corny with the decor by the last batch - red and white for CAV! :)

Strength

Blogs are interesting.  Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends.  We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives.  While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though...  The moments that we fail completely as a parent.  The moments that we are to busy to stop and help.  The moments we sit in silence and wonder why.  The moments when life is just flat out hard.  In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war.   In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be.   I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away.   Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer.  I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...
