Missing Him

Image
By
John is out of town for a few days.
I guess I thought it would be way worse but the kids keep me so busy that the days go by so quickly and I don't have much time to think about it.
And then I have been spending time with friends which helps as well.
Everything goes well until dinner is cooked and ate, kids are calm, movie time.
It gets quiet and calm and that's when I really start missing him.  
I get to snuggle with all all the kids, they are such good company.

No matter how much I love my kids, and I love them A LOT, it's just not the same as having a partner.
I avoid my bedroom because it seems so empty and lonely at night without him.
Correction, it IS so lonely without him, and I am in no way a needy person, but it's different when there is someone I really want to spend my time with.

Can't imagine myself going to bed alone... so I don't!
All the kids pile in with me!  
Their company and snuggles help so much, but I can't wait to have him back!
Life just isn't the same without him.
Miss you John Benham!

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried. I love these photos and am so happy that every moment was captured.  Can't wait to see the professional ones!                                 Waiting for the go ahead                                         It's time!!                              Everyone ready t...

No Rest For The Weary

By
Yesterday was sweet and sad, and maybe a bit boring. Amalia woke up with a fever and insisted on sleeping right on top of me on and off all day. Even though she was sick, and I did feel a bit cruel and selfish, I pulled out my camera and got to clicking. I simply won't give her a break! But it was worth it.   Look how sweet and peaceful she looked only an hour before she threw up on me. She is the prettiest little girl and oh so sweet.   I love photographing her. She still has a bit of a temperature today so it seems I am back on "pamper the baby even more than normal" duty. My job is to lay on the couch and be her bed, her comfort, and anything else she may need. And today I will give her a break from her modeling duties. I have the best job in the world. I love my kids.

Long Awaited

By
Ethan has had the typical "little brother" problems. A huge one being that he has been going to all Kaidens scouting activities for 2 years and couldn't participate. Being the observer of your bigger brother having fun... not so much fun. Then we had the move to Dubai, so what should've been his first year, wasn't. He was so excited and was all smiles at his very first scouting event where he could participate! I can't get over how cute and official he looked in his uniform. He took every belt loop he earned extremely seriously. It's also weird to see Kaiden in his webelo uniform, I always saw it as for the "bigger boys". I guess my little Kaiden is one of the big boys now.
