My brother came in last week and spent 6 whole days with us. It was a blast. Jamie and Matt drove in Friday and we spent the weekend with them. We went down to the lake and swam a lot and got to take a couple of "goat" rides. The boys occasionally say goat still for boat. It has been adopted by all at my aunt and uncles lake house. Its pretty funny. I do however use the word correctly when talking to the boys. They can say boat now I think they think its funny when others say goat. They have a funny sense of humor at such a young age. they always crack me up. We took uncle Shaky (T9 ricky in your phone it says shaky) :) to our favorite cracker barrel for breakfast this morning. Apparently he has been deprived of this and we had a blast. Then we sent him on his way back to Texas. It was a blast having him here.
Now its back to lonely nights. One of the many downfalls from a deployment. When kids are in bed the nights can be lonely. I try to keep myself busy. :) We have a busy month planned. I am starting back up with my Thirty-One stuff and I am working on every certification the army offers to spouses. (funds custodian, FRG leaders, care team, etc etc.) It keeps me pretty busy.
My heart is joyful tonight. This weekend was fabulous and I feel so blessed that I was able to have everyone here and we were able to spend some quality sibling/family time together. Can't wait for it to happen again.
awe! Family visits are so sweet! So funny that the boys used to use the word 'goat' for 'boat.' Makes the 'got goat?' t-shirt phrase even funnier for your family, probably! ;)
