I have lived away from home now for 2 1/2 years and never have I been homesick...until now. I hate not knowing when my dad or Shawnee/Danny or Jake/Cassie or Sandee or Creed or Hayes or my grandparents or aunts or uncles or friends will ever see Strider. He is so super cute and pictures do not do him justice. Although my mom has seen him once, I don't know when she will see him again. Even if my family comes to visit in a couple of months they will have already missed the newborn phase. I don't know why I care but for some reason I really have been homesick. Poor Ryan...first, having to deal with me pregnant and now, having to deal with my hormones after being pregnant. I'm a mess!!
It seems different this time compared to when we moved. When we moved, Taegen and Kyler were only a month and a half old but everybody had a chance to see and cuddle them before we left. Plus in the first year we were out here I went to Utah on 3 different occasions and a member of my family came out here on 3 or more occasions. Now, with 3 children I don't know when I will be able to go to Utah again (with or without my hubby). Taegen and Kyler now cost to fly and I don't know if my sanity would allow me to travel alone with three children under the age of three.
So, for all those who will not see Strider for a long or short time just know that he is so sweet and precious and cute and loveable and he makes me happy even if I am homesick!!

I'm so sorry you are homesick. Strider is way cute in pictures though!!
Krista, buy a webcam. I know exactly how you are feeling, I felt that way when my mom and dad moved to florida. They will never know my kidos. We got a webcam and they get to at least see my mom and dad every few days, even Annaka sits in front of the computer and waves and giggles. it is not the same as having them here, but it does seem to help a little.
Diddo about the webcam! It will take the sting off of homesickness a little. Strider is so stinkin gorgeous!! Can I come over and visit? Are you doing ok? Can I make you anything? Let me know, I haven't called because I know Ryan is taking care of you, but I haven't forgotten about you!
I feel ya dude. :) We can cry on each others shoulders while our kids run wild around us.
