the last 3 months of our life...but currently trying to settle in, get the kids on a routine, and get some much needed sleep. The last month of travels has been eventful, so much change...the kids really feel it. Tonight Jax said with tears in his eyes, "I just want to go back to Morgantown." Since the other two were sleeping, I laid down next to him and we just talked for a half hour about it all. To him, Morgantown is home, we lived there for 4 years of his 4 1/2 year life. I miss it dearly, too.
Miss Doug dearly as well. We talked via Skype tonight and it made me miss him even more. 8 weeks and 5 days to go. We love you and support you babe.
Also, since my kids adamantly did not want to go to primary...new environments are really freaking them out right now. So the boys and I drove to Mount Timpanogos Temple because Jaxon really wanted to see it. With Jaxon leading the way, I held Colton in one arm and held Talon's hand in the other, and we walked around the temple. We talked about Temple's being God's sacred house where we can make special promises with Him and feel His love for us. Jaxon said, "Mom, I feel the Holy Ghost." I said, "Really, how do you know." He said, "I feel Jesus and Heavenly Father's love at Nanna's house too." I just love that he is starting to recognize the Lord's influence in his life at such a young age. It trully was a celestial moment walking and talking with my boys about this special place. I told them how their Dad and I were married here and made a covenant with God to be faithful to each other and do our best to live in a way that will help us return to live with Father in Heaven again. I just wish Doug was there to experience it all with us.
baby crying, again, has been the last 6 hours off and on...will try to blog later.
we miss you and hope all is well...pretty soon the boys will settle in and all this chaos will be distant memory.
ReplyDeleteMorgantown really misses you as well! But, luckily, we are in Utah! We really want to see you guys. Do you have any time on Wednesday?
ReplyDeleteAmber, you are such a brave woman to watch your three boys on your own. I was so happy to see you at the Gifford's. I love you and want to see you again soon!
ReplyDeleteAmber you are an amazing mom! Cherish those moments with your boys. I hope the next few weeks will fly by (but with good memories!). Where is Doug doing his training? Are you with family while he is away? Can I do anything for you? Love ya! Jeabri
ReplyDeleteI miss you Amber. Deacon will ask to play with Talon alot and it just surprises me when he says it because he gets all lit up and smiles and says "Talon come to" when I tell him that we are going to the park or something. Ashton wants to see Jax sometime soon he says. Ha, we love you and I am sorry you are husbandless. That is no fun. Hang in there! You are one tough girl! Love ya!
ReplyDeletehi! what a sweet post Amber- I will pray for your sweet little family- love to you and your sweet boys! :0) (Doug is included in the boys ps)
ReplyDeleteHey Amber, just wanted you to know i think of you all the time! Sounds like you're still making some adjustments! Hang in there. We miss you!
