I hope you enjoy this little video. It is so neat watching Sam learning to walk on his own. He just giggles at himself and then falls down. And, Ben, singing this song...too cute!
Well, after I last posted I took off to the airport and just got back! It was crazy. Up until Thursday morning we thought Paul was going to be able to come home for a few days or possibly even a few weeks. And then he said, "no way, not going to be able to come." So, I called 3 friends & they all agreed to each take a kid & I made my reservation! I can NOT thank them enough! They gave Paul & I the gift of time together which I am so incredibly grateful to them for doing! So, Sam & I flew down to Kansas City to see Paul off. (Sorry Todd & Kiki but no time for a visit this time around). We had a WONDERFUL time!! We went by Sam's schedule for eating & sleeping at odd times but it was so nice! I actually took real naps, slept at night for more than a 2 hour stretch...(last night...first night home with all the kids and it was back to the normal...someone up for some reason all during the night...I was woken up 6 times & that was a good night! So you can see why I am constantly tired)! We enjoyed some of the sites & some delicious K.C. BBQ. It was so nice to not worry about laundry, housework, packing lunches, etc. I mean I of course LOVE my children and I missed each of them VERY much! But, boy did I enjoy the break! And, seeing Paul was fantastic! I wish all the kids could have seen Daddy but it just didn't work out that way. He called a few hours ago...we only got to talk just a few minutes :-(...but, he is safe, tired & jet lagged but safe! He left Ft. Riley early on Tues. morning and flew for 16 hours! Ugh. He has been in a holding place but now heads out to Afghanistan tomorrow. OK...it is 10...I am off to bed!

Well, I am glad that you got to see him efroe he left the country. Its is wonderful that you have suc great friends and that your children are so comfortable being with them for you to have that opportunity. I will keep Paul in my thoughts and prayers. BTW, we need to get together to learn from each other.
It's so good to have that couple time together! I'm glad you were able to go!! It sounds like you had a great visit with him.
The kids are so cute and growing up so fast!!
Hey,
Thanks. It was great seeing you and Sam, too. It was also nice sleeping in a room with less than 20 other people. up to about 300 in the room I am in now.
Granpa Says,
Good to see your update and it was good seeing you on the web cam.
Paul don't forget to duck.
