This blog has sat neglected since my husband has came home. Medical issues, birthdays, holidays, and so much more has happened. To the point where this blog is no longer valid.
Two weeks after my husband got off the boat he was diagnosed with Colitis and is now not cleared to deploy. We are looking at the very real possibility of a medical separation sometime in the next year. So the title of this blog no longer implies or would be used in context. I have yet to decide if I want to start a new blog or not. The kids and I do so many things I want to share. I need to think about it. I will keep you posted.
Much love.

Busy days
Never fails, the closer the end of deployment gets the busier we are. Our days are filled with school, play groups, errands and friends. Friday on a trip to the NEX Stinker got quite a surprise. We rounded the corner and there with fluffy ears and a round nose, dressed head to toe in pink, hoop skirt and all, was hello kitty! With an exclamation of 'pretty!' she was entranced. Sadly I had forgotten my phone so I didn't get any pictures.
Yesterday was rounded out by dinner and a movie at a friends. Meatloaf and the lion king. What could be better? So nice to sit and relax and get to talk to a friend while the kids play. Today our only plans are Corban's 1st birthday party! Tomorrow is Laurana's 1st birthday party, while next week is Nathan's 2nd birthday party with Stinkers the week after. Tis the season for birthdays!
Stinker has a new not so charming habbit. She's became a sneak. Hiding anything she knows she shouldn't have. Just now as she was trying to open a box of my chocolates her responce to the question 'what are you doing?' Was to throw the box to the side, slide down onto her back, roll over onto the box picking it up as she rolls over, sit up and clutch it to her chest. Anything she thinks she shouldn't have gets jammed into her lap or behind her back when she gets called out. Stinker. Lately has been battle after battle with her. To get dressed, to change her diaper, to sit in the cart. All of it comes with screaming now.
I love her though!
Mean while Little Man still doesn't like me to leave the room. He's getting so big though! He scoots some on his butt, though not enough for him to notice. I still can't believe my Little Man is almost 7 months old! And weighs 22 pounds to boot! You won't find a sweeter boy though!
I love my kiddos <3

A walk in the park
In Anacortes is this fabulous park that was built in the 1920's it's a memorial to war veterans and is one of the coolest places I've seen. It's really a place you need to go check out. So of course I had to take pictures of the kids there!

Busy Busy
Today was Stinker's first day of pre-school. She did really well, she's not used to the structure but I think she will have it down before we know it. It is so great watching her interact. She used to hang back and watch and now she's in the middle of things. My little girl is growing up! I can't believe she will be 2 at the end of the month! I love watching her grow up.
So much has gone on the last week, been staying super busy. Between play dates and play groups, errands, shopping, and just trying to keep busy I haven't had much free time. Been working on the party favors for Stinker's birthday, they are turning out so stinkin cute! Also made a 'Daddy book' for her, it's just a cheap photo album filled with pictures of her with her daddy. Something wonderful that I wasn't expecting came out of it. Stinker has never really addressed me, I'm just there. By looking at her book though and pointing out people in the pictures she has started to call me 'mama' You will never know how much this thrills me!
Oh gosh, what else has gone on, the farm tour was this last week. so much fun! I love living here! We only went to three farms and with two youngins in tow three was more then enough. Stinker got to ride a pony, Little Man got to gawk at flowers, and both tried eating pumpkins. My kids are so cute!
Sadly my eyes don't want to stay open so I'm going to leave you with some pictures and the promise that I will be back soon!
