Our congrats go out to Rhoda and her family on the birth of new baby girl Kati who weighed 9lbs. 4 oz and was born on March 11th. She joins big brother Dylan. Good job Momma!
We have some news around here too. Brian called last night (this is our first phone call since he left). He is doing fine, he really likes the people he is working with. It was absolutely fabulous to hear his voice. He did get to talk to the kids. Keagan told him about the video game he has been playing on XBox, Sammi told him how chubby Avery is and Tristan asked to see a picture of him with his guns (which by the way Brian said he would take and send to us. When we get it, I will post it). It meant so much to all of us to get to talk to him and I am sure it meant a lot to him. He didn't talk much about it "over there", he wanted to hear about home. It does look like his R&R visit may be a little sooner, it now looks like it might be beginning of August, but you know how the army is... it could easily change.
Okay so, I did it. Not the night of my last blogger like I planned, but I did do it. I put Avery down to sleep in her bed last night. The above picture is the "proof." That is her at about 1030pm in her bed. She had no problem. She is such a big girl! I fed her at 930pm, put her down awake in her bed at 10pm, she fell asleep around 1015pm and didn't wake up again until 530am!! I am so proud of her. It was a rough night for me though. I couldn't sleep until almost 1am, but I got up only once to check on baby girl. I really missed being able to look over at her during the night. Well, at least I have at least 18 more years where she will be sleeping in my house, but I am sure that time will go by quickly as well.
I hope you cherish the time you have with your loved ones today!
