Crazy start of 2010

I knew after Christmas things were going to be a little crazy. John was scheduled to be out in the field training twice in January and twice in February. We were going to need to find some things to do to keep us busy while Daddy was away. We came home and I got Anna signed up for ballet and tap and I got both girls signed up for gymnastics. I also called Barnes and Noble and found out when they had story time during the week. These weekly activities have been getting us out of the house and keeping us really busy! I am so glad that I discovered all these fun things to do because I was not expecting things to get really crazy around here... Last week John and the rest of the company were called out of the field early for an emergency. John called me and said that he would probably be deploying to Haiti for awhile. They came home and trained for two days, had a day off and then left early Sunday morning. We have absolutely no contact right now and don't know how long they will be gone. They are saying around 60 days, but depending on the situation it could be more or less. I am so proud of my husband and what the 82nd airborne is doing over there!! The girls and I miss John so much, but are doing well. We are counting down the days until he comes home. We are praying for safety for the guys and trusting God through our first deployment.

The girls dancing....

So graceful :)

Look at those moves...see why I put her in ballet and tap :)

One of Eliza's moves...love her :)

Getting tired of dancing.

Pretending they are Mary holding baby Jesus :)

Anna so excited to leave for class! Usually it is a rush to get out the door. Will take more pictures of Anna in her little outfit's soon.

Our last day with Daddy :) It was a beautiful day and took advantage of such a great day by going to the park. We took a picnic and played with the girls for a few hours.

She loves to climb! She found a little boy her age to play with and they had so much fun running all over the park together. When we got home she kept referring to this boy as "My Boy."

Eliza in a cave...

Going down the slide.

Running around :)

Reading their Bible together...I am so proud :)

We would appreciate your prayers for John and my family. We are also still waiting to hear about John's deployment to Afghanistan. I am really praying that we have the summer with John before he leaves. I am getting so excited about having this baby, but a little nervous too. Thinking about having three kids 3 and under while John is away is really overwhelming to think about at times. I am really trying to give it to the Lord and trust his timing in it all.
