Thank YOU!





I am closing in on my time of "single wife-ism",we'll for a few days atleast. It actually hasn't been 1/10th as hard as I thought it would be. I have loved the alone time with my girls, my crazy, silly, ever changing little girls. I am looking forlward to my few days with Dave though, I hope I get one hour atleast by myself, like going to the mall or something else that's really relaxing.




Claire is talking so much more in the time that Dave has been gone. She is so funny, and I love that I have been able to make her laugh so hard that she falls over, that used to be Daves Job, but now I can do it! So Good for ME!
This is her REAL laughing face, it may not be cute to anyone else, but I FRICKEN love it!



Olivia is still being a bit of a challenge... it's been 119 days since the little screamer came into my life, I've love her more each hour which means I love her 2856 times more than when she got here, except if she didn't scream so much I might love her even more. She has taken Daves position as my bed buddy and I love her little body cuddled into me each night, and she only takes up an 8th of the space Dave does!





I've had so many people help me out, and I just want to give a big THANK-YOU to any of you that read my blog, and know that you have helped me out. My Ward is honestly FANTASTIC, the best ward I have ever been in. Pictures this.... Olivia Sleeping on my shoulder, trying to rescue, crying borderline hyperventilating Claire because I left her in nursery, one kid on each hip, I can feel my skirt falling lower and lower, and then someone kindly repositions Claire and saves me from embarressment! Thank goodness for people who notice others in need. Opening the door, holding Olivia for a few minutes, playing with Claire, Cleaning my house, Meals, just Kindness! I'm gonna leave the rest nameless but Caitlin and Jenny have been my Lifesavers, HUGELY! Caitlin is my Sister, and Jenny is like one, they both have helped me out a ton, and I am so lucky to have them in my life!

I too don't like being left alone, afraid of noises in my house etc. Chris left for 3 weeks back in Jan for training and the 1st week was tough but after that I got used to it and wasn't nervous and we had a routine going. Good luck with things, you are lucky to have your fam close by! Love the hysterical laughing face on Claire.
