Update on #4 and family

Well, Jess and the kids are back in Phx. Mark is still in TX training as usual. Things were starting to get too demanding there. It was a hard decision for us to be apart even longer but, Mark really needs to begin focusing largely on his training without having to try to juggle all the responsibilities of his wonderful family. We just need him to focus on his training so he can make it home safe. You don't become a top gun over night. :) What a stud. Hehehe. Anyhow the kids are doing great. Micah is crawling all over the place and sitting up like a pro. Ali is Ali I suppose. She has a bigger vocabulary every day. Her new favorite phrase is, "I can't." My favorite phrase comes early in the morning and sometimes in the middle of the night, "Mommy, I'm verwee hungeee wight now" Today Aletheia and I had a mommy daughter day. We have never really done this but I have to day we will do it more often now. We went to Waterworld. Micah stayed at our friends and neighbors house. They loved being his substitue parents for the day and he had a ton of fun drooling on someone elses carpet. Plus they have dogs and Micah loves to chew on doggy ears. (The dogs don't always like it though) Anyways, Ali and I had so much fun together and I never had to say things like, "Just a minute baby" "Let me feed Micah first" "Hold on let me put the baby down" "No baby, mommy can't hold you right now" "Mommy just wants to have a minute without someone on her lap" It was so great. We sat in the lazy river for about two hours total and splashed each other and laughed. We went to the kiddy land and went down slides. We sat in the wave pool and watched eveyone be nutty while the water edged closer to us. We wadded around and I even let ali spit her drinking water on herself. Something she isn't normally allowed to do but loves to. I even taught her how to spit water out of her mouth and hit something, or someone. I came out more as a big mist but at least it didn't just drool out of her mouth. We laughed and had a blast so by golly we are going to have another fun day of just her and I. I didn't realize how much I can enjoy them separately as well as together. Nice.
