Amazing. You almost forget how wonderful it is to have your family all together. I think I'm accustomed to having Tony away, but when he comes home, it's easy to see that there was a gaping hole where he should have been the entire time. Everything falls into place. Everyone seems a little more content...secure.
I'm still not sure if we'll be staying in the Submarine force this next time around. Tony says he feels like he's giving up so much in exchange for so little. ..and hey, if my narrative about our trip to Chuck-E-Cheese's makes him feel that way, imagine what else he's been missing out on!
Not to be too random, but while I was thinking about time passing us by as our family grows up, I dug out these pictures of Jonny and Annika pal-ing around three and four years ago. They're still thick as thieves (or, alternately, fighting like a pack of disgruntled thieves). When I think of my children, I think that these will be the sweetest days of my life.
Man. I need some anti-depressants - blogging should not make me cry!
Not saying that you don't need antidepressants, but crying and blogging makes me think you are....PREGNANT!
