Guess What!

No, I'm not pregnant:))! Jon is on his way home right now! He just flew out of BWI (Baltimore/Washington) and is headed our way! He gets in at 7:00 tonight. We are all estatic! I gotta go shave my legs!

Joey at 3 months

I can't believe that Joey is 3 months old! He is such a good baby and such a blessing in our lives. He gets cuter every day (I'm a little biased). He is always smiling and he is just starting to laugh. He LOVES to be held. I think I have spoiled him a little because I am always holding him...partly because if I put him down, Anna wants to "play" with him (that usually includes poking his eyes and pulling on his ears). He is such a good sleeper too. He sleeps for about 11 hours every night. I am so thankful for that! When I am rested, I am definitely a better mom. He is getting so big and I can't wait for his daddy to see him!

Nothin' New

I've been meaning to update my blog, but there really is nothing going on to blog about. I haven't even taken one picture on my camera since I was in Idaho. We're just doing the normal stuff around here and it's not very exciting...school, church, etc. I've always thought January was a boring month. After all the excitement of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, January is kind of a let down! To make it worse, my kids had Friday off of school so that we have a 4-day weekend...a single mom's worst nightmare! I can't come up with enough activities to keep these energetic kids busy.....

Lots of people have been asking when Jon is coming home, so here's the update. Jon's replacement is just north of Iraq right now. He has been delayed a couple days, but once he arrives(which will be any day now), Jon has to train him and then he will be on his way home. It will take about 3 days to train his replacement and about 5 days to travel home. There will most likely be delays during the return home, so we're thinking he will be home in about 2-3 weeks.

On a totally random note, here are a couple pictures of my kids with their favorite uncle, Brent. He is Jon's littlest brother and we got to see him lots over Christmas break.

Back to Reality!

We made it back to Florida! We got back on Saturday and the night before we flew, I got sick...of course. Our flight left at 5:30am, so we were all exhausted and being sick didn't help. One of the highlights of the day was being pooped on by Joey and having apple juice dumped down my shirt by Anna. Luckily, I brought an extra change of clothes for Joey, but not for me. I ended up getting a new shirt that says, "Minnesota" on it!

We are getting back into the swing of things and getting back on schedule. We are definitely on the home stretch for Jon coming home...we are counting down the days now.

Here are some pictures from our New Years Eve! We went to a bull riding rodeo in Idaho. It was really awesome. We had so much fun. We even got our picture in the Nampa, ID paper.
