Isabella often asks questions when she already knows the answer. This was a conversation at the breakfast table this morning:
Isabella: "Mommy, why did God put Jonah in the belly of a whale?"
Mommy: "Why did God put Jonah in the belly of a whale?"
Isabella: "God put him in timeout because he was disobeying God."
Mommy: "Yes, God used timeout for Jonah, and it worked!"
Isabella: "Next time you put me in timeout Mommy do I have to go to Nineveh?"

He's Home, He's Home, He's Home!
Our year is OVER! Yea! Daddy arrived home last Thursday. We are all settling nicely into our new normal..having Daddy home. To say the kids were excited to see Daddy would be an understatement. Jack, who says very few words, kept saying "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" Considering that Jack has spent more of his life away from his Daddy, he did remarkably well going to him and knew him right away. We attribute this mostly to having Skype. Jack was able to "talk" to Daddy everyday while Steve was away. A huge blessing!
We all hit the ground running when Steve arrived. We only have a few weeks to get our orders to Germany, so there's a lot we have to do. Steve also has to start flying to that he can be qualified again before we head to Arkansas in June.
Thank you so much to everyone who has been praying for our family this year! We couldn't have made it through without everyone's help!

Easter
Well, our first Sunday without Steve was Easter, and our last Sunday without him was Easter. We've come full circle. What a year it has been! It was a hard year, yet rewarding. It's so tough saying goodbye to our family and friends in Indiana, yet we are incredibly excited about seeing Daddy in just a few short days. Such different emotions.
As I think back over the past year I smile, cry and laugh. I smile at the accomplishments of the kids and Isabella's love of her school. I cry over the loss of my dear friend Rachel almost 1 year ago now, and I laugh at the crazy things we've done and fun we've had with the cousins.
I couldn't end this post without a HUGE THANK YOU to my parents. Without them, the past year would have been so overwhelming. They let us pretty much take over their entire house with all our stuff, babysat for me so many times when they knew I was near the edge of insanity, loved the kids, and most importantly reminded them each day how much their Daddy loves them. Thank you Nana and Poppy!
