ALEX 1ST DAY OF SUNDAY SCHOOL....

awwwwwwww.....today was alex first day of sunday school at our church and it was such a BIG STEP for BOTH OF US! for me, on thursday when i procrastinated till the LAST DAY to register him because james wasn't here and it was such a big thing for us....with daddy not here...so, today, i took him to church by 8am....he was SOOOOO HAPPY AND EXCITED to be going...that is what he had been talking about for a couple of days....i didn't know how he would take it because this is the FIRST TIME he has EVER EVER EVER been away from ME for ANY length of time!!! the only other times he has been with GRANDMA when there is drs appts or babies being born!!!! i was REALLY worried that he would maybe pitch a fit or not want to stay but he DID and he did GREAT!!!! he did have a bit of drama towards the end of his day when they were apparently singing and it was just too much for him and he started to get upset because he did not want to stand or anything and they ended up bringing him to me about 10 mins before everyone else because he was crying...you have to remember that he is being homeschooled so this is the first time in a classroom.....but i was SOOOOOO PROUD OF HIM! he did SOOOOOOO GREAT! i just told him that next time he would do better and just do what the teacher tells him he told me OK! he did awesome!

as for me, it was SOOOOOOOO LONELY at church without james or my other family members around me....matthew was home sick with the nurse and of course james was gone....it was just me and joshua until alex got there....it was really sad...i got tearied thinking of james...i miss him sooooooo much....on to james, he made it to camp bucca yesterday and since then i spoke to him THREE TIMES!!!!!!! THREE TIMES IN 2 DAYS! that is soooo awesome! it seems that it is EASIER to get on the phone there than it was in KUWAIT...i am ALL FOR THAT! he said it is going to take some time to get use to it because it is VERY DIFFERENT than KUWAIT....not sure exactly what that means but i guess he will let us know!!! :) anyway, it is just GREAT knowing he got there safetly and that he is ok....he also had to buy a mask because it is soooooooooooooo sandy (sand storms) that he said he can't BREATH with out one so he walks around with one on!! wowowowow...

anyway, we just miss him and can't wait for him to come HOME....SAFETLY AND HEALTHY..
