awwww...Mommy look at my baby! She's so cute!
The fact that Kayne and Elyse are 7 1/2 years apart is one that people have brought up LOTS and LOTS. I've gotten all types of comments, questions and advice about having children that are so far apart. However, it has worked out for us VERY well--and I wouldn't change a thing! Elyse is such an amazing big sister, and Kayne is simply in love with her. Everything that she does makes him smile and laugh, and she has the COOLEST toys too! He prefers some of her toys over others now, though. He has come to really love her baby dolls!! I think he likes the fact that they are small like him and look like REAL babies. There is one little brown one in particular that he just adores... and I got a few pictures of him today in the swing, holding her close and taking care of her.
So, we are officially 47 days away from Bryan being gone an entire YEAR. At the beginning of this deployment, I couldn't let myself think about the amount of time he would actually be gone. I had to concentrate on one day at a time... and there are still days that I have to do that. You would think that I would be excited about being this far into the deployment, but I really feel defeated. It's so weird, but I get sad thinking about the remaining time that we have...it just seems like a LONG time away until he gets here. I know, it's weird! Everyone else says YEA! They're almost home! And I'm like--it's still going to be 4 WHOLE MONTHS!! I just need a REALLLLLY long nap! I just want Bryan back in my arms, and beside me while we raise our kids together... We are getting together some trick or treat bags for Bryan and his friends--and will send those out soon so that they can be there for Halloween! Elyse was pretty insistent that the guys have something to look forward to. And, she said, Daddy can hand out candy in case someone knocks on his door and trick-or-treats...
Our latest picture-I LOVE THAT MAN!!
Hey, Mom! Can I help with Daddy's Box?
