Obviously I'm not that into blogging. In SC I could barely post every couple of weeks. This move has really disrupted my flow. I'll just fill you in on stuff we've done/are doing. Pictures will come eventually.
After we left SC we went to my sister Denise's wedding. It was great fun. We're really happy for her and Ian. Then we moved on up here. Everything was set so that our movers would come several days before Trevor had to leave. Well the good old military struck once again and the movers came the day he left. Needless to say we had loads of boxes everywhere. It was all I could to (still is all I can do) to just tend to the children, let alone unpack a box. Things are finally settling down and we have most everything unpacked that we need/want to use. I struggle with having Trevor gone during the week. He is in submarine school in CT and is able to come home on the weekends. If we were still in SC I wouldn't see him until he was finished (which is April 9th) so it could be worse. It's hard having him gone for many reasons: I miss him, it's lonely, I'm a single mom and to top it off I'm potty training Chloe! Ugghhh...
I'm not bring this stuff up to complain it's just to let my 9 loyal followers know what's going on. I haven't dropped off the face of the planet. It's just that when I have free time I want to sleep or watch tv.
I'll get pictures up eventually though, don't worry!
Scarlett had her 6 month appointment this morning. She weighs 19 lbs 11 ozs and is 26.5 inches long. That puts her in the 99th% for weight and 75% for height. Her head size is 44 cm or something like that and puts her in the 95th%. That's my big ol' girl!

Holy crap, she's 19 pounds?! That a girl. Yep, I'm dying to see pictures. Absolute necessity.
If anyone can handle the part-time single mom deal, it's you. (But I still don't know how anyone does it. I struggle on Ben's 12 hour days, but I see him each and every day without exception). I worry about you part-timers because since you're not ALWAYS on your own, I worry that you don't ask for help enough. All-the-time single moms are realistic about what they can and can't do alone. I think you some-times single moms aren't always. So PLEASE be sure you're allowing yourself to get the help you need. PROMISE ME.
Of course I tell you this when there's pretty much no way I can offer any of the help you'll be asking for. But I would! I promise!
what! no pics?! j/k. Allen was gone all last week for some funerals in Idaho...but I only have the one kid! Hope your potty training is going well. Hang in there!
Dorothy! You are doing an amazing job! Your girls have such an amazing mommy!
I wish I could be there to help you unpack while our kiddies play together and you just relax and watch some old Hitchcock movie :-)
I love hearing from you. Thanks for taking the time even though you are busy! Miss ya tons and think about you often!
Yeah, that pretty much sucks.
I"m having a crap day today but reading this has made me feel a little gratitude that Dru's around every night I guess you know.
I love how big scarlet is.
Awesome.
I'm with jade.
hey darlin, You are a great mommy. I would totally have to agree with Jade on everything. Don't be afraid to just call it a disney day and plop them in front of a disney for a few seconds to have yourself some one on one time! You will do fabulous and just think you are a child of god and he loves you more than you can imagine. I wish I could be there to help you unpack, but I can't sorry. But I am praying for you. Love ya tons
I loved the posts. Thanks for sharing with us. I love being able to copy and print the photos you post.
I tended to have some pretty solid babies. Heredity is out there lurking.
Someday potty training will be memory, and you'll say to yourself, if I can potty train a child I can do anything!!! And contrary to your husband's expectations you won't have tons of extra money from not buying diapers because it all goes to other kids raising expenses.
