So many days have gone by since my babies daddy left.. I know he misses them so much and they miss him. BigPapa is constantly telling me how much it hurts him to look at pictures but makes him happy at the same time. Hurts to know how much he is missing. Not being able to be here for them when they need their daddy. Its hard for him.. I know its hard for everyone but I mean.... I can not even begin to fathom what he goes through every day wondering and thinking about his babies. Wishing he could touch their chubby little cheeks or just hear their little giggles even to ehar them cry and hold them. I post pictures constantly of our beautiful children so for one he can see them and watch them grow up even in pictures. I try to involve him as much as I can. He is an amazing father. As bad as it hurts time does NOT stop for us. It moves on and children grow whether we want them to or not. And how ours have grown so much just in the short (HAH!) time that he has been gone. I always make sure they see their daddy every day.. whether on skype or we look at pictures. Days like today make me think back to when he was home last spring. It would be sunny and rainy and we would be outside playing and when it would rain we would all snuggle up in his big comfy chair or in the bed and watch movies till they fall asleep and he would look over at me after looking at each baby and smile at me... and in that moment... the moment he is looking into my eyes and smiles I KNOW that without him I have no idea where I would be or how my kids would be. Since hes left the oldest daughter has gone to kindergarten, rode the bus, started gymnastics, our son started preschool, will start t-ball soon and has about 50 hair cuts and has probably grew about a foot, our baby went from 4 teeth to a mouthful, turned 1, started walking/running/terrorizing, and talking. Each such big stepping stones in a little kids life. SUUUURE they wont remember but we will. Never a day passes by that our children doesnt know that their daddy is a hero and he is in the army in Afghanistan. So I asked the oldest 2 what is their favorite thing about their daddy, Babygirl says She loves him, Bubba says he loves him THIIIISSSS Much and stretches his arms way out! TOO CUTE!! I love that their daddy is special because they love him and he is! Not too much longer and they will have their daddy back and we will all be put back together again!! I cant wait! MANY children are surrendering their time with their parents so that they may fight for our freedom. Say an extra prayer tonight for these children so that they may know how much their mommy or daddy love them. If you ever meet them, be sure to give them an extra squeeze from that deployed soldier. God knows they need all the love they can get during their parents absence! God Bless our troops and their families all over the world! Oh we have also added a new family member to our beautiful family. An super cute full blooded Golden Retriever named Boon!! He has been AMAZING with the kiddos and We all just love him.
