Can it be Eight Weeks Already?

Well Yesterday marked eight weeks since Asher was born and went Home. I feared that it would be a tough day and I will say I thought of him most of the day. The weather here has been gorgeous so we took the boys to the lake for a picnic and played at the playground and threw rocks in the water. I have come to learn that if you have a boy and you are out of things to do with him, give him a pile of rocks and even a puddle and they will be entertained for hours. It was great though. I am kicking myself for not bringing my camera along though.

Then we came home and the boys got haircuts! I will post pictures later! Then we did some outside work and came in to get showered and ready for a DATE! Yes, ladies and gentlemen Howard and I got to go on a date. My friend Lisa came and stayed with the boys so they could be at home and in bed so we did not have to hurry back. Thank you LISA!

We went to Presque Isle and walked along the beach and Howard tried to teach me to skip rocks (again with the boys with rocks and water) I was not a very good student despite my effort. We watched the sunset and just got to talk. We then went to dinner. Dinner where we didn't have to cut up someone else's food or try to entertain anyone until the food came. It was SOOOOOO nice. Then we went to a movie! I will say it was a perfect evening except that again I forgot my camera and the sunset was beautiful!

I love my children more than words can say but it was so nice to have an evening to reconnect with my husband. We really need to do that more often. We had a lot of fun.

I was supposed to return to work today...I am a teacher for Educate Online and teach students online. I love the job. It allows me to still stay home, use my teaching degree and bring in extra money for my family. I just have not been up to it lately. We have been financially really needing me to go back, but right now my days are so up and down and in the evenings it helps so much to just do family things I decided to take just a little while longer off especially with Tuesday being the 22nd and the anniversary date. The staff at Educate Online has been SO amazing through all of this and so understanding and willing to meet my needs in any way they can! Thank you!

I am missing my boys this weekend and though the ache is deep I take comfort in knowing that God is not done yet. This is far from over!
