We have had a very busy week so far, and it is only Tuesday. It all started last Friday when Brian left for his monthly training with the National Guard. With the realizing that Dad is going to be gone for almost six weeks, the kids started the weekend on a bad note, throwing fits and not listening. By Saturday night, things got even worse. Prince "accidentally" swallowed a magnetic marble. Of course being a magnet, the Dr on call at the pediatrician's office wanted him seen ASAP. This led to Prince and I visiting the local ER at 9 pm and not getting home until midnight. The conclusion that the ER doc came to was that the marble was too far into digestion to remove it and we would have to wait until Monday to have anything done if it had not surfaced. Well, the marble did not surface on Monday, but it did make it's debut today. YEA! Now we should have no problems going through airport security in two weeks. (It is so sad that this was the first thought that ran through my mind when the kids told me Prince had swallowed the marble!)
The other big thing going on right now is Brian being gone. He was able to come home about 8:00 pm Sunday, but left again Monday morning at 6:00 am. He is in Burley, ID for his day job. Besides being in the National Guard, Brian works for a construction company Monday through Friday. They put a bid in for a job up in Idaho, and sent Brian with the drivers so that he could fix any break downs that were encountered. Brian will be able to come home some time next week for a couple days before leaving for Boise and more National Guard training. Unfortunately, for that trip, he will be gone until July 1. For this time, we are completely relying on phone calls and Skype.
With Brian now gone, I am coaching both Prince and Princess's baseball teams. We will see how that goes, as they both have games that over lap every Saturday. I will probably end up relying on several parents to help out. This Saturday going to be VERY long. I have Prince's team pictures at 9:45 am, Prince's game at 10:10 am, Princess's team pictures at 10:40 am, and her game at 11:00 am. Talk about a busy morning!
We are a God-loving family, and life for us is wonderful! We love to stay busy with our children, read the bible, and just spend time as a family. Even though life for us can get chaotic, we would not change it for anything!
