Prayers, Babies, and Deployments

So the last few weeks have been a whirlwind of craziness. Randy has been in the hospital and I helped out with the girls this past week. Wow, was that the best birth control EVER! I love love love my neices more than anything, but I was happy to have my mom there to help me after one day of doing it alone! Those girls take a lot of energy to keep up with, my goodness.

Daniel and I had a nice weekend together. Went to Hollywood and saw the Playboy Mansion which was surprisingly exciting. Morea just melted my heart this weekend. This is how she melted my heart:

Morea: (pointing to the picture of Daniel and I on my phone) "Uncle!"

Me: (thinking she meant me) "No that's Auntie"

Morea: "NO, that's your friend"

Me: "You're right!"

Morea: "That's your friend, Daniel. I want to play with your friend, Daniel!"

Omgoodness it was so cute! And when Daniel and I went to see them the next day she was so excited and wanted him to "high-five" her with the Mister Potatoe Head hands. It was adorable. It was so sweet to see them playing together and to see him enjoying spending time with my family. The day before he told me was looking forward to seeing my family and spending the day together. What a way to make me melt!

All I can think about it how amazing it will be to have him home again. Next Tuesday he flys into Sacramento and then we'll head home so his parents can see him. I am just overly excited to move to Oakley in four weeks so we can finally be together. It will be the best thing in the world to live so close. Hopefully by the end of summer we will be able to move in together, which will be even better.

Next wednesday is also a big day for us because we will be finding out about his deployment, if and when it will be. But as we all know, nothing in the military is for sure until it happens so I'm not gunna hold my breath too long or freak out right away. I love Daniel and I just can't wait to be home with him!

Please keep Randy in your prayers. He is in for a liver transplant today and the recovery will be quite lengthy. God is amazing and has worked so many miracles already. We pray he continues to bless our family with Randy's health improvement.
