Counting the days

Well it has almost been three weeks now that my husband has been gone away on a business trip. He had the opportunity to go to Kansas to show the big people what he could do. During his time gone I have managed to keep myself busy. The first week my brother Chuck came down and stayed with me a couple of days with his wife Jewel and son Zander. The second week me and the kids went on our family vacation that we go on every year with my family. I really missed Jeff being there but again this is a great opportunity for him. Unfortunately as I was packing for my vacation I realized that my camera was in Kansas with Jeff. Even though I bought a disposable one sadly enough I still didn't take any pictures. Jeff is usually the camera man. My sisters did take pictures so hopefully I can post some later. We had a blast. Now I am on my third week counting down the days for Jeff to come home. My sister Bridget was so kind to come down and help me out for the week since it was my first week of all seven kids home ALL DAY. So far we have made it and I am glad tomorrow is Friday. I am so thankful for family and the support they give me. I am also very thankful for my husband and I am so proud of him. It has been a rough couple of weeks but we both survived. I can't wait for Sunday to pick him up. I Love you Jeffrey. Thank you for everything you do for our family! Hugs and kisse from all of us!

DANG MARY....You go with your 7 kids at home. I thought I had it bad with 6 at home ALL day and Jeff staying up at the apt. WEll I know it's hard, when Jeff was in the acadamy he would be gone for weeks at a time but I only had 3. I'm impressed. And I too love the help of family!! Too bad you couldn't have Nevaeh come help you becuase she pretty much is a mom all by herself lol!!!

Hey Mary...it's been a while. Well I think Jeff is home by now so I am sure you are enjoying the help. I hope all is well with your fam. I miss you up here! Kaden saw a picture of Brandon and he recognized him but forgot his name. I said that's Brandon and he said "oh yeah" with a smile on his face. He always loved brandon.:)
