hump day...

sweet baby boy in the bath!

enjoying a donut.  

love those blue eyes.  that are staying blue!!

they wanted a picture.  seriously.  contrary to how it may look, we were enjoying "ghetto" tacos.  i may copyright that.  left over ground beef, warmed up with cumin, with cheese on top, eaten with chips.  (cause the taco shells always break anyway!!)

my three babies!  a picture for daddy...

daddy's sister, auntie sarah came to visit this week.  we have been having a blast, going to beaches, the "swamp" meet, and introducing her to boot camp!  (not sure if she is thankful for that last one or not!!)

i got a surprise phone call the other day.  david was in port, but i knew he was on duty and busy.  i was getting ready to go to bed, and checked my email.  i got an email from david.  it was a nice, long one!  as i started reading it, the phone rang.  a special ringtone, with a cute picture on the phone.  

it was the best phone call because it was totally unexpected!  he was busy, and just thinking about me.  he realized i would still be up, and called.  a few times, i was told to "standby", as he dealt with work issues. but i loved being linked to him, even wirelessly, as he took care of that.  i still felt connected.  AND, the kids were in bed, so there were no distractions!

i usually get less than ten minutes on the phone, once a week.  and when the kids are up, it's when they decide to try to kill each other.  and need a responsible adult to intervene.  and then they melt down.  and i am usually in the middle of making dinner, or feeding a baby.  and i will take those calls whenever i can get them, too, because i am DESPERATE to hear his voice!  but, it was nice to be uninterrupted!!!
