See Daddy!

Its been about 3 weeks since I've seen Jeff on the computer. At his "home" base we get to skype almost everyday. But he's been away at some French base where it isn't allowed or maybe he just can't access it. Not sure which. Tomorrow he will be "home" and we will get to see each other! I can't wait! I haven't heard his voice in 3 weeks now. I can't wait to hear it and see him! :) We are actually going to try something called oovoo. I guess its like skype, but Jeff was told by some other guys out there that oovoo works better. Better video and less of the choppiness. So hopefully it will work good for us. I told Tara tonight, while I was putting her to bed, that we would get to see daddy on the computer in the morning. She smiled so big and yelled, "See Daddy! Hug, kiss." So sweet. :)
So tomorrow, on Thanksgiving, we will have something extra to be thankful for, we will get to See Daddy! :)

Bathtime Sayings

Tara: bubbles!
me: yes, bubbles.
me: don't eat the bubbles, Tara.
Tara: ball!
me: yes a ball
Tara: a frog
me: yes a ball and a frog.
me: keep them in the tub, Tara.
Tara: I wet
me: yep.
Tara: I pay (play)
me: don't make a mess!
Tara: cup!
me: don't drink the water, Tara! Yuk.
Tara: yuk.

So these are just a few of our bathtime sayings. We do have many more. At the time it isn't funny to me, but then tonight, after her bath, I sat down and thought about our "conversation" we had during bathtime and decided I had to blog it. :) Too cute to pass up and a great memory.

Update

I am sitting here waiting on Jeff to get online so I can chat with my hubby, while I wait I decided I would try to blog since its been a while. There hasn't been a lot going on with us. The boys are doing good in school. Josiah is making some good grades and some ok grades. He doesn't seem to like history class but he loves math. He will ask for extra work just because he thinks its fun. Gabe is doing good as well. He is more that half through his reading class. After we make it through this last binder he should be able to read, with the help of the marks over the letters. He doesn't love writing, that is the one thing I have we have issues with. He gets grumpy and lazy when it comes to writing. It is usually so frustrating for me but I try to think of new ways to motivate him. Tara is doing great. Her speech improves each day it seems. She can now say lola perfectly. Tonight she yelled, "LULA!" For those who don't know, that is grandma in tagalog (Philippino). She also says, at night time when she knows its time for bed, "I pay (play), no nigh nigh."
Jeff is doing pretty good too. He has been at a french base for a week or more. He is the only American there and so he's pretty lonely. I guess the french there don't care for us so they don't talk to him. He is alone all day at work and eats by himself. I'm ready for him to leave there, he is ready too, and ready for him to get back to his normal base. Please keep him in your prayers for safe traveling around there. We get to chat online in the am and pm right now. When he is at his other base we also do skype, its so nice to see him! Its also nice that Tara gets to see her daddy, since she's the only one young enough to maybe forget him. I was so worried about that, but she remembers him well! She prays for him every night and talks t him on the toy phones at church. When we talk about daddy she says, "daddy work".
I better go check to see if he's on!
