September already?

Where has the time gone? I notice the days are getting shorter, nights coming quicker and the chill in the air is starting so soon! Soon the leaves will turn and then fall/winter will be upon us. WOW! We were at Costco today picking up our monthly essentials such as diapers, wipes and what-have-you....When we neared the Halloween costume section! Scarlett LOVED the Tinker Bell outfit so we will get that one as the time gets closer. Jason and I are trying to do all of these little things now so that we have ample time since he leaves the country and headed to Korea November 1st. I will be the mother and the father, and until today I have only been thinking about what it will be like for ME, but what about him? He will miss his kids so terribly, there literally are no words for the empty feeling he will have without his Scarlett, Kellan and Violet.~ As a military wife you take this job on secretly hoping (at least to me!) that the time will never come, that your number will not be called so to speak, but here I am knocking on that door and I am shocked. I have been saying to Jason lately, I have got this! I will be the mommy, daddy and friend...It is the rest that feels so real! Getting the house ready to sell or rent, find a place to live when said house rents/sells, will we stay in Colorado Springs while he is gone or will we move to California to be near my family....WOW to say the least, it is tough, no wonder my brain never shuts down eh?
Onto my kiddies, the lights of my life! We have had a rough month here in the Casebolt house, Pink eye, strep throat, ear infections, you name it we have ALL HAD IT! WOWZA! This long weekend is all about healing and getting better, that and TONS of bleach on every square inch of this house! I guess this is just blah, blah, blah tonight...Feeling lonely,contemplative, and darn right tired. I hope this note finds all of my special people healthy and well...

Love-
