So, I went a little overboard on taking pictures this past weekend. The girls and I have taken 4 trips this summer. We went to Charleston for my sisters wedding, we went to surfside beach, we went to visit John's mom (Nanna) in NC and then this past weekend we went to Columbia, SC. We WILL NOT be traveling again for a long time!! If I even talk about traveling again anytime soon someone please remind me of my last trip. The girls are wonderful and travel well, but we all have our limits and they were passed this weekend :) We did have a great time visiting family, but the traveling in the car just did us in. Here are some pictures from our trip...enjoy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We visited the Edventure Kids Museum. The kids had such a great time. We will definitely be going back.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am very proud of my husband and the work he does. I am proud to be a military family. This is not just another job it is a calling. I think it needs to be that to go through what you have to go through sometimes. We knew going into this that their would be hard times. Times of separation because of training and deployments. Knowing this doesn't make it easier when you are going through a deployment. As I sit here on a Friday night, when most families look forward to a weekend together, I can't help, but to just write out some ways you can help a military family. Military families are everywhere. Don't think that because you don't live in a military town that we are not around. If you see a mom with three kids at the grocery store struggling DO NOT roll your eyes at her and talk behind her back about how misbehaved her children are. This doesn't help her... You have no idea what she is going through. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">1. Offer to mow their yard or wash their car- or even better, just show up on their doorstep one day and get to work.</div><div style="text-align: left;">2. Invite them to join you on your family vacation.</div><div style="text-align: left;">3. Take them a meal.</div><div style="text-align: left;">4. Make a few "emergency casseroles" for their freezer or anonymously send them a gift card to a restaurant.</div><div style="text-align: left;">5. Call them in the evening or on a weekend to chat.</div><div style="text-align: left;">6. Invite them to sit by you at church.</div><div style="text-align: left;">7. Offer to babysit.</div><div style="text-align: left;">8. Ask on a regular basis, "Is anything broken in the house that we can fix for you?"</div><div style="text-align: left;">9. Have them over for dinner on the weekend.</div><div style="text-align: left;">10.

We were just way too tired and needed to just relax. We brought out the baby pools and my Dad got out his ocean kayak to take the girls out on the pond. Anna was all about it. It took Eliza a little more time to warm up to the idea, but she did end up going. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I can't believe how quickly this year went by. This time last year was wonderful and difficult. I hated that John missed her birth. He hated not being there, but he knew I was in good hands. I wish I could say that things were going to get easier or that things were going to calm down this year, but that is not the case with military life. Here we are about to start craziness all over again. I am in a good place mentally and spiritually ready to tackle this year long deployment. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This was right before I left for the hospital...I remember being so excited to meet Abigail. My Dad and I were staying at my grandparents and he drove me to the hospital. We left at 4:00 am and Marmee (my grandma) got up to kiss me good bye and tell me she was praying for me. I will always remember that when I look at this picture. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyy3jUaFJJ4Hu5iBtXiTMS3tPd77TLtdd1OnFY8T1Dx0mOG0ePTeZs298PE_7tKx87JQ9lZIGHx-pRiihmHHPkJ7oqYo5vlULmDLJxBT8o0DSbUI3MX-l7aZjv24mDl4sHl5hkw2VaY8k/s1600/MayAbigail+019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyy3jUaFJJ4Hu5iBtXiTMS3tPd77TLtdd1OnFY8T1Dx0mOG0ePTeZs298PE_7tKx87JQ9lZIGHx-pRiihmHHPkJ7oqYo5vlULmDLJxBT8o0DSbUI3MX-l7aZjv24mDl4sHl5hkw2VaY8k/s320/MayAbigail+019.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We had some really good time as a family and were able to get more accomplished in our home. One day we went to the Mill Mountain Zoo in Roanoke, Va. It is a cute little zoo perfect for the girls. They have a cute train ride, animals and a park. We brought a picnic lunch and had just a great day.

I know we will move again, but moving is just plain stressful! The house was in really bad shape and I was not in a good place when I saw the walls alone in the house. We have done some painting, got new carpet in the basement and I have cleaned and srubbed the floors with bleach. I am feeling a whole lot better about the house and it is looking a little more like home! John finished WLC and finished in the top 20%. I am very proud of him. He has some leave days so he is at home with us now. We are excited about having some quality family time before he has to leave again. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We are almost packed, the girls had their last day of pre-school last Friday and John is officially on leave. At this very moment I am calm, but I have had moments of AHHHH! With the Army you have to just go with the flow because our plans have already changed. John was told on Monday that he will be going to WLC (warrior leaders course), which is awesome because he will probably promote in the next couple months. It is just crazy timing with the move and him deploying. Their are so many what ifs and unknowns about our future. John's contract will be up next August. Do we stay in the Army? Do we get a civilian job and join the national guard? What do we do with our house in Va.? Their are so many more questions than just these...I have to just give it to the Lord or else I am going to go crazy with anxiety! I am trusting God through all the unknowns. He has never failed me. He will continue to take care of me. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Enjoy the pictures...I added a lot :) My next post will be from Va. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love these girls</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Abigail wasn't sure about him for the first few minutes, but then started following him every where. She has him wrapped around her little finger. She will follow him fake crying so he will pick her up. She loves her Daddy!</div><br />

This is why I am such a bad blogger. Life with my three little girls keeps me busy and then add being a military wife on top of that. John is off training for a month before he deploys. I am busy packing up the house as the girls and I are gear up for our move back to Va. My 10 month old is into everything!! She is crawling, pulling herself up and putting everything in her mouth. The older girls are into toys with little pieces and I am scared to death that Abigail will choke. I am trying to teach Anna and Eliza to put trash in the trash can and clean up the strawberry doll pieces, but they sometimes forget. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is such a bitter sweat time. We are excited that we will be back in Va, but at the same time know it will be hard being separated from John for a year. I want to cherish this year, which may sound weird, but I don't want it to just go by with me trying to get through it. I want to enjoy my children at the ages that they are and will be. I want to use this time to grow in my relationship with the Lord. This year will be tough and lonely without John, but I know it can be/will be a time where I am forced to come to a place where Jesus alone is enough. I have goals of reading a book once a month. It was actually a new years resolution to read 12 books this year and I am just extending that until John comes home. I have already read three and just started my fourth! My other goal is to paint every room in my house in Va. It will probably take me a year just to decide on a paint color for the living room. I really need help to decorate...I just do not have an eye or talent for it! The girls have already picked out purple and pink for their rooms. I will start there :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So these are just some thoughts on how I will thrive not just survive during this upcoming deployment... (My fourth book is Thriving Not Just Surviving deployment perspectives for today's military families)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This statement is so true. I look back on Abigails 9 months of life and think where has the time gone, but I know we have also had some VERY long days and sleepless nights. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">As always, she is absolutely precious and such a blessing! She is somewhat crawling around on her belly. If she sees a crayon she is there in no time. She is trying to put every little tiny thing in her mouth. She claps her hands when we cheer for her. She drinks from a sippy cup. She can pick up little pieces of food and feed herself. She dances and laughs. She has no teeth yet. The best part of all is that she is finally sleeping through the night. She wakes up really early, but that is okay when you can get at least 7 or 8 solid hours of sleep. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Her stats...(I think her height is wrong though)</div><div align="center">20 lbs 12 oz</div><div align="center">30.75 inches</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Anna's stats:</div><div align="center">21 lbs 2oz</div><div align="center">27.50 inches</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Eliza's stats:</div><div align="center">19lbs 12oz</div><div align="center">27 inches</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">I am thinking the height is wrong especially when being compared to her sisters. I wish I had then measure her again. I guess we will see what happens at her 12 month appointment.</div><div align="center"><br />

Have You Hugged A Military Spouse Today? <br />
<br />
As the leader of a military wives faith-based support organization and a military wife myself, I’m often asked by women’s ministry leaders and churches what they can do to support military wives and their families. You might be unsure of how to minister to an older woman with cancer or a young mom with twins if you have never experienced those things yourself, and in the same way it can be hard to know what to do for a military wife if you’ve never walked in her shoes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It’s easy to assume that if you don’t live near a major military installation that military wives don’t exist in your community. But there are more than a million military spouses in our Armed Forces today and military wives are everywhere – National Guard and Reserve families often live far away from where their respective bases are, and active wives make the choice to move home and live with family when their husbands are overseas. This gives you and your church some wonderful opportunities to make a difference for our military by supporting their families while they’re away.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Connect with a military wife<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you meet a military wife whose husband is away for deployment, make a point to check on her regularly and let her know you’re praying for her. Deployment is not an experience you “get used to.” It’s an emotional roller coaster from beginning to end and there are good days but there are hard days too.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With all the technology available today to connect with our loved ones, we can still go days and weeks and sometimes months without a phone call, an email or a letter. We can get lost in all that we’re responsible for and forget to make time for ourselves. Sleep can become an issue for a lot of women when they’re not used to sleeping alone and the quiet of the house at night gives them the first chance they’ve had all day to really think about their husbands being away. Exhaustion can make a hard situation even worse and fray our emotions completely.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
One of the absolute best gifts I received during my husband’s first deployment was when my friend Allison, another military wife, sent me an email on behalf of her small group from church and asked me to make a list of things I needed help with around the house. She had asked me this a couple of times before and I’d always dodged the request, but when she sent an email in black and white, I relented and put together a list of little to big things I needed to get done, thinking I’d give enough options that the group would find a couple of things they would be willing to do. On a warm spring Saturday, eight to ten friends I’d never met came over to my house and took care of absolutely everything on my list. And at the end of the day, what touched me most wasn’t the honey-do chores they’d completed for me, though I was very grateful for their help; it was the fact that they’d reached out in a physical way and let me know I wasn’t alone.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Do something<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
One of the hardest things for a military wife to hear is “Let me know if I can do anything to help.” It’s very difficult to ask someone else for help, especially if you’re unsure of what that person is willing to do.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The best thing you can do to help a military wife is to put yourself in her shoes and like the Nike commercial said, just do it! Would you get tired of planning dinner and cooking for a year without a break? Give her a gift card to eat out or call her up and let her know you’re bringing dinner tonight. Would you have trouble knowing what to do with the car or the yard during the peak of summer? Rally the men in your small group to help change the oil or share yard duties. Would you be worn out if you were responsible for your kids 24/7 without another adult to give you a break occasionally? Offer to take the kids for an afternoon so she can do whatever she wants. Would it be hard for you to put Christmas lights up or other holiday decorations by yourself? Offer to do it for her.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you offer to put a care package together for her husband, don’t forget to put a little package together for her – bubble bath, Starbucks cards, or a little book of Bible Promises are all little things that can make a world of difference for a military wife and give her encouragement and hope to keep going. And chocolate! Don’t forget the chocolate!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Be sensitive<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As much as you want to be able to help and appear understanding to her needs, resist the temptation to compare your husband’s two-week business trip to her husband’s year-long deployment. Unless your husband is also trying to avoid mortars and IEDs (improvised explosive devices), it’s really not the same.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Avoid saying things like “I don’t know how you do it,” or “I can’t imagine being in your shoes.” Most of the time she doesn’t know how she does it either, but it’s the only choice she has – to do it or give up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Encourage her. Tell her what a great job she’s doing and how her husband will be so proud to hear how well she’s doing holding down the fort at home. And then make sure he does hear how well she’s doing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If a military wife is in your small group at church, make sure there are enough activities happening she can attend that aren’t strictly couples-oriented. Consider holding off on that Love and Respect marriage study and do another study that she’ll be able to feel included in. When you do have events such as Christmas parties or Super Bowl parties, make a point to call her and make sure she’s coming; there’s a greater chance she will if she knows someone will miss her if she doesn’t.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Support those who support our heroes<br />
<br />
Military wives don’t want pity or to be felt sorry for, but they can use prayer, encouragement and all the emotional support they can get. Ask most service members what their greatest worry is when they’re deployed and they may surprise you when they say it’s not getting wounded or killed – it’s making sure their families are okay back home.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I believe God can use the hardest of times, like deployments, to grow us and stretch us and make us into the daughters He wants us to be. But we need others to come along side us in the journey.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Help to make sure that the spouse and family are well taken care of and you also help take care of the soldier. So feel free to pass those hugs out to military spouses today – they will thank you for it!<br />

</div><div align="center"> The first three days in Haiti the guys lived in a storage compound. It only had walls no roof. Then the guys moved to this school house and lived the rest of the time there. At this point they were getting pretty skinny only living on two meals a day. <br />

I am a proud military wife and proud of the work that my husband and the rest of the 82nd Airborne did. There is still a lot of work to be done there. Please continue to pray for the people of Haiti.</div>Christina Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10724351153472196975noreply@blogger.com0
