Blog #2

So it's been a week and I figure I will update you guys with the scoop on the Eyer household. Crys has been gone 10 days now and the house hasn't burned to the ground so there may be hope yet we will get though this. For the most part, Keira seems to me handling things well. We have been fairly productive which helps. Between work/pre-school during the work week along with practicing for her ice-skating xmas show and swimming lessons, there isn't a lot of free time.

Yesterday we went to the mall after work to get Keira some new shoes. Today we did  swimming lessons in the morning and I took her to see The Muppet Movie at the theater in the afternoon. She did pretty well. She got a little ancy toward the end but I was still proud of her. I ate way too much popcorn and it is not sitting well. Movie was fun. Keira seemed to like it which makes me happy. Afterward we came home and I cooked dinner and read her some stories. We received a special book from the family center on base about a Mommy who got deployed. She liked the book I could tell. She also watched an Elmo DVD about the same subject. (His daddy going away for a long time for work.) I think she enjoyed it even though she was teary-eyed almost the whole video. I'm sure it reminded her how much she misses Mommy.

We have been able to web-cam with Mommy every day which has been nice. The timing works out perfect so we get to see her every morning before we leave for school/work. (Crystal is just getting home. She is 11 hours ahead of us.) I am so thankful for webcam's. If you know me well enough to read this, you know I am a technology junkie and can't imagine having to go 6 months without seeing her and only communicating by way of the postal service. (I love that band)

Anyway, thanks for keeping up and reading these. If I sit in this chair any longer my foot is going to fall asleep so the above should be sufficient for tonight. I hope all of you readers are doing well and I look forward to writing at you again soon.
