Doubts

The closer it gets to July 14th, the more I worry that things are not going to be okay when Phil leaves. It seems like I rely on him so much for so much! It is so hard to think that our sons may not even know him when he gets back. Liam loves his Daddy so much and has a hard time when he is at work, much less gone for nine months! Jude is young enough that he won't really know the difference, but he won't know him at all when he gets back two days before his first birthday! I don't know, maybe I am just freaking out too much, but I am worried that I will not be a good single mom for nine months! My thoughts are so sad! I really need some uplifting! The only thing that makes me feel better is knowing that we are an eternal family, and in the scheme of things, nine months is a blink of an eye! Plus he will be able to come home for 2 weeks for Christmas and I will be able to go see him in AIT. I guess maybe there is some light at the end of this dark tunnel!

The Walkers

So, I decided to get on board with the whole blog thing. We have so much going on in our lives and I thought this would be a good way to document all of it! We don't keep in touch with so many people as well as we should, so hopefully this my make up for it!
So let me catch you all up to speed. We have been married for two and a half wonderful years. We were married September 16th, 2006. On January 14th, 2008 we were blessed with our first little boy, Liam James. Then on March 26th of this year, we welcomed "Baby" as Liam calls him. His name is Jude Melvin. We are living in Eagle, ID and have 2 chihuahuas, Bella and Dita (short for Gordita).
Phil and I are truly best friends. We love spending our time together. We love movies and music. We are quite passionate about politics. We also love good food. Our ideal evening would consist of sitting at home with a good movie and a good meal. We do love to go out though. I enjoy scrapbooking. I love being a mommy and spending time with my boys! Phil recently joined the Idaho Army National Guard. He really enjoys his time with the Army. He leaves on July 14th for basic training. He will be gone for almost nine months! It will be sad to be apart, but it will be good for us in the end.
Liam is getting so big, it amazes me every day. He is finally starting to walk and he talks like crazy. Some of his favorite words include, "cookie" which means anything to eat, "dita" which is pretty much any animal, and "hi" which he says to everyone he sees as many times as it takes to get them to say it back. We loves to play in the yard and he loves to help mommy plant flowers. Which in this case, of course, means playing in the mud. His favorite show is Spongebob, whom he calls "Bob-bob". He has two Spongebob t shirts, a hat, swim trunks, dvds and several toys! Even his night light is Spongebob.
Jude is really too young to report much. He is growing like a weed. He eats all the time. He is such a little chunker, which is funny because Liam was pretty skinny. He is finally sleeping through the night for us! It is very nice. I have been so blessed to have two wonderful sleepers! Well it is past bed time! I should put my boys to bed! Good night for now!
