The D word.

Yep. It's that time again...Deployment work up. wooohooo.

Insert kicking screaming overly dramatic fit here.

As for timing, it looks like we have about 7 or so months (ish) until D day.


But then there is PTA, CAX..field ops..

Ok, this is going to be a short post - because right now I can't talk/type/whatever without getting a knot in my throat.

Basically, I know it's going to be okay - I know that the Lord will carry us both just like he always has and always will... but I'm simply just NOT ready to think about it.

Aiden update, 10 Months!

this whole thing started so Pat could keep taps on Aiden while away... and Im updating so our family and friends back home can do the same :) but I've totally been lagging - So here's an Aiden update!

10 months old

Handsome little stinker.

Aiden Patrick - 22 lbs and 29 Inches long. 

Current list of activities:                                           Things we can check off the "to do" list:

Crawling                                                                         1. Say Mama

Saying Dada every 5 seconds                                          2. Cut his firth tooth

Crawling up stairs when he gets the chance                      3. Wave

Playing in the toliet when we leave the door open             4. Transition from bottle to sippys

Pushing his push walker

Walking along furniture

Pulling up

He is SUCH a ham, and I love him more and more each day and it's hard to believe that Im planning his first birthday, I really don't know where the last year went, Im so thankful Patrick is home again - but sometimes I wish Aiden was still my sweet little baby that would fall asleep in my arms - and now he refuses to snuggle with me (he is a total daddys boy)

He LOVES food. He "smile crys" as pat puts it, if you have food near him even if he has already eaten, it cracks me up.

He is off bottles before one! He loves his sippy cup (thankfully) now to get him off the binky (totally not looking forward to that one)

thats all for now!,
