rain. rain. cozy days.

i couldn't be more proud of my sweet Chloe, she's an amazing big sister. She and Tru have the closest bond she wakes up saying mommy where's my baby Tru? crosses the hallway to his bedroom "BABY TRU GOOOOD MORNING!!! Awe you so CUTE, Yes you ARE!!!" While he laughs his gut wrenching laugh.
and he has got to be the happiest baby i've ever known, his laughfter is infectious.

Tru, laying on his sweet Nana quilt:)
Yep, Aunt Teen made this darling bib for him, WE LOVE and miss you TEEN!!!

As for daddy, he's out in the field for a week and home for a day or two, that's pretty much how it's been for the last two and half months. Im so glad we're at the end of his training and that we'll hopefully have a break from missing him!! We are so blessed that even with all this training it has only brought us that much closer as a family and that Chloe and Tru are so happy. I have never felt Heavenly Father's hand in my life more than i do now, it's a really neat feeling to feel his blessings and love. I am so incredibly blessed to have this oppurtunity to serve our beautiful country, it's an honor and to have the chance to learn and grow in ways i never expected. It's a wonderful blessing to have for this short time!!!
But we are ready for Spring and warmer days:) POOR Bustems:)
P.S. Happy 311 day honey!!

such adorable kiddos :)

and really, Charee, you take great pictures. I'm not just saying that, it's really true! I like the slightly light washed sun effect. Beautiful light and soft colors. It's very pleasing to the eye and restful.

Tru is so Handsome!!! We Lewis women make some fine lookin baby boys! I was going to comment on the pictures as well. Did you get a fancy camera or are you just making magic with your old one? I am just staring at these pics of Tru and he still looks soooo much like his daddy but there is some of you in there as well. Seriously he has the most amazing little feeling that comes from his little self. I love the first pic of Chloe especially after talking to you about what a good little cleaner she is. She looks like she is hard at work, I realize she is probably just climbing on the bed but it looks like she could be making it:-) By the way he couldn't have been named anything different. His name is unique and special just like he is. He seriously warms my heart!!!!!

Missing all of you, so I thought I'd check the latest and found some very sweet faces and sweet thoughts. You honor your mom and dad by remembering their teachings. You're growing in so many thoughtful and spiritual ways as a family and that warms my heart.You are blessed indeed, and I can feel that the Holy Spirit is part of your days and nights. What a comfort that is for us who are away from you and pray for you. Love and kisses to all! Auntie

Hey Charee! It's Kristen! Your kids are so beautiful! I'm so glad I checked our blog (even though its been ages!) and I saw your comment! When did you move to Kentucky? We live in IL, but Indy is only about 1hr and 45mins from us, how close do you live to it? That Children's museum is awesome, we love going there! I'm not on Facebook, (it's a rebellion thing :) but Steve is, so I can look you up through his, but I would love to get together sometime or at least talk or something! I miss you too and I hope we can connect somehow! :)
