My Marine.

I just have to share this picture with everyone. Sometimes I don't think I recognize Jamie as a wonderful, dedicated military man. I see him in camies and some type of uniform everyday and it has become so normal that I forget that he plays such an important role in my freedom. So as he sits in Iraq doing his job in 120 degree heat and proud to be there, I just ask anyone that reads this to just say a quick prayer for his safety and for strength to withstand. I love you Jamie Nichols and I am so incredibly proud to be your Marine wife!

Update.....

It has been a little bit since the last post. I was waiting for something to happen so I would have an exciting post but it has been pretty normal around the Nichols house lately. I have a few recent pictures for you and I will have more soon. Have a wonderful week and God Bless.

Sometimes they like each other.


Been doing a little landscape.


It sure looks like they love each other, huh.


And a rare moment on my blog but I know my hubby checks it.

First fight........

Well my children never fail to surprise me. Last night while playing with some other kids, Addison got into a what started out a very small altercation over a toy with another little boy. There was pushing and shoving and yelling but nothing unusual as I have just accepted that boys are just more aggressive with each other. Well out of nowhere the other little boy comes in with a right hook to Addison's eye. I really have some mixed emotions about the whole thing because Addison is pretty aggressive with his sister and now he knows a little more what it feels like to be bullied but on the other hand I was upset that he is only 3 and will probably have a black eye from someone. I wanted to cry but didn't because we are trying to toughen him up a little. There is a funny side now though because he is worried that his eye won't be blue anymore. He keeps asking me if it still looks blue. Here is a picture of his shiner.



Jamie is safely in Iraq and doing Ok. There is one obstacle for him and has asked for prayer to withstand and that is the heat. It is 120 degrees during the day there. He has said that is already taken a lot out of him and he hasn't been there very long. Have a good weekend.
