I really have no Idea how many people look at this blog, judging by my followers its like three. But I hope there are a few more. So I am asking for some assistance to help Sara while I am off fighting the good fight in Afghanistan. Sara is the type who needs to be by herself in order to recharge, with me being gone I am not able to take the kids off her hands and let her get time or space to herself. I am trying to get a list together of people that Sara can call to help her without feeling like she is asking. (anyone who knows Sara knows she likes to think she can do it all by herself) So if you could do me a favor and comment on this post which one of the following categories you might be willing to help out in.
1st: regularly scheduled taking the boys; even if for half and hour take the boys so that Sara has time to herself in our house to do house work or watch t.v. or just read a book
2nd: regularly scheduled watching the boys; just coming over and watching the boys so that Sara can go out without having to pack the boys up (we all know what a challenge this can be)
3rd: last minute stand by; this way if something comes up or there is an appointment or Sara is just about to loose it she can call you before she does and you can just take care of the boys and let Sara do her thing.
4th: pre scheduled long term (like overnight): Sara may have Family Readiness meetings and things down in Eugene or Portland or wherever, where she may need someone to watch, or take the boys overnight.
The thing about all of these categories is that Sara is going to feel like she is putting a burden on everyone so please while I am gone just follow through and make her give you the boys because I am sure she will need it. In order for her to stay strong for the boys she is going to need time to lay down and cry, or laugh, or watch old videos.
We have had a lot of support from everyone, we are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. I want to thank everyone for all the support they are giving us it is greatly appreciated, may the Lord bless you for your sacrifices in behalf of my little family
Now to lighten the mood a bit here are some more pictures.

Put us in any of those categories~you're such a good husband and daddy to support Sara and the boys by thinking of these things! Love you~MOM
ok, thanks for raising the guilt factor up by a hundred notches that I can't be over there to do any of those things!!! We will be praying for you and Sara and the boys and hopefully some phone calls from her favorite sister-in-law :) can help calm the stress level. Love you guys!
I wish I could help. I would be there for any of the categories. My sister would help in a heartbeat too, she isn't on the internet much though. She loves Sara. :)
Well I just so happen to be on the internet this evening and apparently I am one of your "followers"....sorry but it just sounds a little creepy :) Anyways I would like to sign up. I would do any of them, but I know that the boys would probably not be comfortable at our house overnight for quite some time, I could always bribe them with candy if she were in desperate need for overnight help ;) I'm really close by so I can be called anytime day or night.
