Oh how I love them.

May 11, 2012/Ainsley

Henry and the girls are coming today. I’m so excited. I miss them and they miss me. It’s been a little over two weeks now and they’re ready to see their mommy, especially with everyone talking about Mother’s Day.

Ainsley’s class had a Mother’s Day party yesterday. She was sad I wasn’t there. I was sad I wasn’t there. One of the school staff came in to be her surrogate mom. Not the same, but very sweet. Three moms of kids in her class sent me pictures and tried to help cheer her up. I’m very glad for her sake she’s on her way here after having the party. At least that was some consolation for her.

“My love for you grows, and grows, and grows.”

Her rendition of me (with all the things I say to her: how she’s my favorite 5 yr old, how I love her so much, how she’s s sweet girl… why, oh why, is “Put on your shoes” what she chronicles; and did anyone notice she put me in a black cocktail dress with black high heels. just sayin’)

Her Mother’s Day Kite

The necklace she made me (the tear under her eye is killing me)

In other news, Ryan got his first piece of hospital mail this week from his Sunday School teachers. I thought it was so sweet. I also received several care packages which came in very handy. Thank you all for thinking of us. 
We haven’t done rounds yet so I’m not sure what “the plan” is for today. But Ryan had a good day yesterday and is still on the mend.

    so happy that your family is finally going to get to spend some time together. It just broke my heart to see your sweet little one so upset that her mommy wasn’t there. I’m sure that was so hard for both of you and as a mom it must have just been heart-wrenching for you. I know she knows how much you love her though and kids really do bounce back quickly from disappointment. A few extra hugs and kisses and she will be fine! I’m praying that Ryan will get to come home soon so you can be back together as a family. ~Melissa Moss
