It may be strange, given the circumstances my little family has been through that I am completely happy with where our life is. I know their daddy is away, but with him gone we are learning the value of our family time. We know our sweet Karson will never be with us here on earth again, but from him passing on we learned to value every moment we have with each other... That being said, I love they way my babies are now. I love that every day something new comes up. So I want to document it, I want to bottle it up and save it so one day I can look back at it and remember exactly how they were in this very moment!!!
All of this "feeling" brough up a crafty idea for our family to do on September 11. Yes, I am aware that Gray is only 17 months old (today acually) but tomorrow we are going to create a time capsule. I am so very excited about this. We are going to do handprints, and document everything he is into right now... and Karlynn is going to have a part in it too, I just gotta figure it out. But its more for me than them anyways... We will open it in 15 years one the 25th anniversary of September 11. I think it will be a fun way fo me to show them when they are 15 and 14 that even though Sept 11, 2001 didnt effect our family directly that year, that this year in 2011 it did, because their daddy deployed for the 1st time!
I am on a mission to plan cost friendly projects for us because I had to create a budget for myself to gear up for Christmas!
We will see how it turns out! I have been on a google search ALL night trying to figure out what all to do.
But I am exhausted, I have two babies cutting teeth today and Im sure the next few days won't be any better. I have blistered bottomed, sore mouth, cranky, and ill babies and that means it is PAST MY BEDTIME!
Hopefully tomorrow I will have pictures of our time capsule we made!!!
