20th
Offshore
The title of this post could also describe my own location since the birth of Elise and provide an excuse for not posting in over 3 months.
Elise Marie was born December 14, 2009 and is doing BRILLIANTLY. I will be posting her birth story soon, but I have not written anything after doubling the number of children we have. And again, Facebook has distracted me.
Jens has been offshore for his first long stint. Today makes eight days, but the girls and I are anything but alone in this city. We have amazing friends who have taken great care of us, providing me with the necessary adult conversation I have needed for survival. Many of these new friends are also parents of youngsters that enjoy Hannah’s company.
Today while gearing up Hannah for her nap, I said, “Guess who’ll be here after you sleep?” She lit up and shouted, “Papa!” My heart broke. Not yet, little one, but soon. He misses his girls and we miss him.
