The Month of the Military Child

April is the month of the military child.

I am lucky enough to be raising two overly amazing military children.

Lex loves to just sit outside and watch the planes fly overhead. After Mr. S got home from deployment this past year she started to panic every time he left for work and she saw a plane go over the house. She was so sure he was leaving again. We have since had to tell her that all those planes are bringing other daddy's home to their little girls to keep her calm.

Now when she sees a plane fly overhead she says "some little kid is going to be happy to have their daddy home!"

Kaiden still doesn't quiet get it yet. But he does know his dad gets to wear a super cool cover and some combat boots that he likes to stomp around in.

These two military children are my world. They remind me that being strong is just what we do. They remind me that the love our family shares is pure and real, no matter how many thousands of miles are between us. They remind me to always have faith...
