I honestly really haven't had anything exciting to talk about and haven't taken the time to think up something.

We have had some above normal temps that have really melted some of our snow. Our Driveway is now a sheet of ice...but is starting to melt down to the ground in places. In other places where the snow has blown to other spots you can see the ground, and in some places there is still two feet of snow.

Yesterday the boys were talking about birthdays and such and asked when Daddy would be back, would he be back before his birthday...well yes he should be home for a short visit before his birthday, but then he will have to go back for a few short months and then be home for good...Tyler says "you mean he will never have to go again?" At least not for a while I hope, someday he will have to go back. What I wouldn't give for the days before I had to explain to my kids that Daddy will have to leave again for a year before all this craziness is over.

Our heat finally completely thawed over the weekend..so we are toasty warm burning propane again like it was oxygen...too bad it is so expensive to heat here...Hope I don't have to worry about that at least one winter here.


Tyler made is first Reconcilation today...he was so brave and he did a wonderful job....
