Bear At 10 Months

I am late again with this, but it has been a crazy month in our house! Sickness had a grip on most in our house for about three weeks. We also had to go back to being a one car family since Joe's car died on him. So here we are just having these crazy busy days. I feel like I am constantly driving. Some of the things that have happened this month with Bear...he got two more teeth, says DaDa, loves to reach for things by standing on tiptoes, devourers his Cheerios and he is making more sounds that I can distinguish as mimicking words!


We did get to go hiking a little over a week ago. Bear did very well, but could not sleep in the frame pack. Joe ended up carrying Bear in his arms as he slept for the last little bit of the hike. Bear did love crawling around in the woods. He was trying to chew on sticks every chance he could and was sword fighting with Joe a little!

Tricks of the Mind

Some times it is hard to put into words my feelings now days. These nine and a half weeks have been so difficult and it seems time creeps by slowly. It feels like it has been so long since I heard my Daddy's voice and since I have seen him that I wonder was he just a figment of my mind? I would love the opportunity to go back in time just a few months ago so that I could maybe be there when my two cents might have made a difference. In my head I know that our days are numbered and that it was just Daddy's time to go home, but oh how I wish it was all just a bad dream! My heart is broken wishing that I could change events so that he would still be here with us. There is not one day that has passed that I have not thought of my dad. I have tried to search my mind for memories of him. I long to hear others share stories about him or to see pictures of him. I still find myself at times intensely missing him and just wanting to see him. I doubt that will ever go away. Many things are happening in our family that make me sad that he will not be a part of and others I am glad that he will never see.
