Papa Buzz has been hard at work.

Walls painted (Spiced Pumpkin.) New light fixture (less than $5, including extra hardware purchase, thank you!) New towel bar. All that needs done is extra artwork and floorboards. Then on to the dining room...

Some little boys are happy their Papa Buzz is here.


Seth got a pull up to put on his head!??!!! What?!

Somehow, I think Papa Buzz is just as happy to be hanging out with his boys, too.

Happy Father's Day!

Mommy picked out our clothes so we could look nice in a Father's Day picture for Daddy.We got dressed while the nurse was here.
Seth even changed out of his Halloween socks for the occasion.
Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

Tea Party.

If I can't get out, I will have my friends come to me. Since Andrew is gone and my mommy and Amanda are here I am trying to get in as many girly things as possible - making the most of the opportunity. So we had a lovely tea party yesterday. For grown ups. Kids can play in the backyard and eat popsicles. Helen came over for the first time, and Gavin was so great with her. Even Seth took a turn pushing her in the baby swing. Her daddy is with our daddy right now.The lovely tea table set up.


It was yummy and relaxing and fun. I am so thankful to have furniture for the patio again, we love eating outside! And I don't think these chairs are going to break when Andrew and Pete sit on them. :o). The tea party was lovely and yummy. We may just have to do this again.

Boys.

Providential.

I am learning about God's perfect timing this year.

Yesterday Andrew called me and reminded me that his car needed to be moved on base ASAP.

This morning as I was leaving for the dr. office, a guy from his unit called with the same message and offered to help if needed (huge since I couldn't drive this morning from my meds.)

Got to base after my dr. appointment and couldn't find his car. I called, and he told me to go to the nearest gate and ask a security officer if they could help me while he tried to resolve things over the phone.

The security officer I found was the one who had called Andrew's unit in the first place to try and avoid having his car towed. He told us where it was parked (behind some big trucks in a secure area), and the guy from Andrew's unit were able to come over and move his car for me. I didn't even have to call anyone to help. I am so thankful because my energy was waning very quickly after recovering from the flu. So thankful for my Provider.

We thought we were gaining ground.

Pookie came to help. I was getting more rest. The boys were feeling more stable. And then Gavin and I caught a flu bug. Last night, laying on the bathroom floor with him, taking turns puking in the toilet, and praying for it to end and morning to come... I am so thankful Mom could take over with Gavin at 5:45 am when he was done throwing up and I could get some sleep. He rebounded pretty quickly and is being silly in bed with Seth tonight. I still have a fever and feel achy. So thankful for my Mommy being here. And dinner being delivered today (My MOPS friends have been AMAZING and supportive, and they didn't even know we had the flu today.) And my nurse Kathy being so kind, and then stopping by tonight with a bag full of goodies (and Pedialite) for us to make us feel better - just because. And a new friend from church calling to check up on us... I wish I felt better so I could enjoy all this attention more. :o) We are thankful. And learning to wait on the Lord. And reading.
