First I want to say that I have a wonderful wife. She has been so awesome through this....it's a lot to take on and she is doing it with a smile on her face.
Putting the kids to bed is tough. They jump right in but you can tell that when their minds are not occupied they are thinking of their real home. Tonight we prayed and got tucked in and they were fine. A few minutes later, i went in and they had the 1000 yard stare on their little faces. I asked them what was wrong and Cam said they were sad. They miss their momma. I completely understand. Heck I'm 33 years old and miss my momma. I told them it was ok to be sad and that their mom and dad love them. As I write this, I am not sure if they fell asleep or not.
It was a good day, Lots of shopping for school clothes and Cayden got some shots! He did not like that at all!
Tomorrow we have meetings, and more school shopping to do. It will be an action packed day.
Kennedy and Mehkya are adapting well. I am not sure that Kennedy really understands yet but she seems to be dealing with it pretty well. Mehkya has been a huge help.
My only concern with all of this is my girls. I truly hope I have the strength to spread my time evenly between everyone without neglecting my girls. The boys need a ton of attention right now, but I have to remind myself that my girls desire that same attention.
To be continued....
