Um . . . 18 degrees . . . really?

Yes, that is how cold it was when i got up this morning. I was not happy about that. The wind chill was @ 13.
I have decided if it is going to be that flippin' cold then there needs to be something to show for it. SNOW!

We had snow 2 days ago, but it wasn't much of anything. I mean, I don't want a TON of snow (like we had when we were in NY) but, enough to covor the ground and make it a winter wonderland!

Ok, that's all !

WE DID IT . . . WE HIT DOUBLE DIGITS !!

We are at 98 days now! I can't believe it! On the 15th of this month (in 10 days) we will be at the half way point! 3 down, 3 to go!

We all miss Joshua so much. He is such a wonderful father, and an amazing husband. We are going to miss him so much during Christmas, but know he will be home soon!!!!!

Keep counting down with us!!! :)

Lizzy & Girls

Two months down! (4 to go)

This past Saturday marked two months since Joshua has been gone. I can't believe it. I am so ready for him to be home, and so is he.

He is doing well, I guess. That is all relative. He is working VERY long hours, and keeping extremely busy. He says about all he has time for is work, a little sleep, and a run every once in a while.

The girls are well. The are enjoying gymnastics very much. Little Emma is a natural :)

We are getting ready for our trip to New York for Thanksgiving. We are all looking forward to that, and being able to see such wonderful friends again! :)

Then comes Christmas. Lisa (one of my very best friends) is flying out to DC to spend Christmas with the girls and I ! How wonderful is it that she would take time from her life, and her "norm" to fly out here to spend time with us! She is awesome!

So yeah, two months down and four to go!

Lizzy :)
