not staged...

Buddy went in to kiss the kids goodnight one more time before he went to bed. He walked in their room, walked straight out, grabbed the camera and went back in..way to go Buddy, this will bring us laughs for years!

speaking of Buddy, I am so thankful for him. This year has been the toughest of our 11 years so far. He is always gone, either at school or at work, and when he isnt there, he is at the library. When we used to stay up until at least midnight, he's in bed by 9 most nights. He is tired and works so hard for us. Neither of us knew how taxing this program would be, coupled with financial and life stresses and an absent husband most of the time, I dont think that I acknowledge his efforts as I should. Buddy, I simply dont know what I would do without you and the effort you are making for our future. I adore you and admire your strength and determination. You make your family proud. I love you.

That is the most hilarious picture!

Oh - and tell Buddy I feel for him from the other side of things... School is arduous when you have a family and you want to be doing so much more for them, but you're stuck in classes and studying all the time. It's not always easy to keep the long-term perspective. Keep plugging along -- you'll be glad when it's over! :)

That pic...perhaps you should consider canvas for that one! That is one of the most hillarious pics I've ever seen. Don't those moments make you so grateful for cameras?

Love your new banner!
