Homeschooling With Heart
Aug. 25, 2008
13 days

We have thirteen days until Keith is home where he belongs.  My stomach is turning summersaults, I haven't been able to sleep at night and I am so excited that I can barely stand it.  I miss him so much it hurts and I can't wait until I see his sweet face walking up the airplane ramp.  I swear I'm going to grab him, hold on to him and not let go.  I can't wait to hug him and feel the warmth of his neck.  I miss every single thing about him.  I am so excited about everything (Germany, infertility treatments) and I just keep counting, counting, counting.  I've been through this counting "procedure" several times now and it doesn't go any faster or get any easier.  I know there are some military families that go 15 and 18 months withough seeing their loved one and I can't imagine how that must feel.  My heart and prayers go out to all the members of the military and their families.

Tyson and I are scurrying through his Kindergarten curriculum to be ready for 1st grade in September.  He is doing so well!  He really dislikes math, and right now that's half of his curriculum.  Starting in September, he'll have six subjects, so it will spread out more evenly.  I've looked through his curriculum again recently and I know he'll love this upcoming school year.  I'm so excited for him to start it.  He's been growing by leaps and bounds.  Lately, when Tyson gets into trouble lately and he says, "I'm sorry mommy." when I put him in the corner.  I always say, "Thank you for apologizing, but you have to finish your time in the corner."  He replies with, "God wants you to say you're sorry too mommy and God says I don't have to stand in the corner!"  Smart little guy!  Yesterday when Keith called, Tyson talked to him and said, "Daddy, I want you to come home RIGHT NOW!"  And he was serious too!  Poor Keith, he's heard that so many times!  I keep telling him that Daddy wants to see him just as bad! 

Aniston is doing well too.  She misses her daddy so much and has been very clingy with mommy!  I don't mind a bit!  She's a little helper with everything that I do during the day.  She is so excited to help unload the dishwasher, carry in groceries, fold laundry and clean the floors!  She just gabs and gabs with me while we're doing the daily chores!  I love my mother/daughter time with her.  I know these moments are precious.

I will be sure and post photos of Keith's homecoming.  We're having a party for him in Ogallala and I will be sure and post photos of that too.  I will keep everyone updated.  Love you all!

It must not be easy having your dh gone so much! I hope everything goes quickly until you're together and I hope the Lord gives you the desires of your heart and you're blessed with another little one soon! Take care!
