They get me through...

Tommy went to Texas today for 11 days. We are all a little more sad, and Kyla is already asking... "Where Pommy Doe, Mommy? I Want Pommy!"

When Tommy was 4 and we first moved to Canada, he was not able to fly alone on the plane. So every time he went to Texas I flew with him. I would fly to Texas, give him to his dad, hang out at the airport, then jump on a flight home. Then I would return a few days later and pick him up, then fly back.

Until I had Kyla, those trips were an extremely difficult and sad time for me. Barry worked longer hours at that time than he does now (if you can believe that). So I would often spend those lonely hours alone, just counting down the hours till Tommy came back.

Since Kyla it has all been a little easier. Not great, but easier! She has been my little buddy and we wait together for Tommy's return! Now with Macy, we'll be the "Three Musketeers" until Tommy gets home and I am shoved aside (since Kyla likes him more and I am sure Macy will one day as well!) I am glad I am shoved aside! There is nothing better than siblings who LOVE each other!

So after that hard day... I came home to a great surprise in my mailbox... My Etsy stuff for the girls! and then... as I started blogging, I heard a knock on the door. This girl (who I love dearly) showed up with her "magic" bag of makeup and gave me a mini makeover. She knows that I LOVE how she does makeup and would have her do it for me EVERY DAY if I could!

Than I check my sisters blog and I see this quilt. A lady in her church, who doesn't know me" made this for little Macy! WOW, I feel so blessed and I only hope we can touch as many lives as have touched ours!!! THANKS!

So tonight I am off to dinner and a movie, excited and glad for a distraction from missing Angel # 1!!!

P.S. May all the blessing in the world go to the person who came up with "bubble shirts" because they are doing a great job at hiding my muffin top and making me feel "oh so confident!"
