Lots of things happening here!
Hi Everyone-
We hope that you all are doing well. Things have been great here. 1st I want to congratulate
Chad on his recent promotion to Warrant Officer 1 (WO1). He has been working toward this for seems like 3 years! He actually went to the warrant officer board right before Kaitlynn was born, then he deployed, came back and went to school during his one weekend a month for the past 5 months! WOW how time flies. He graduated from the school here at Gowen Field in August and went to Ft. McClellean, Alabama from September 5th - 20th. He said that the two weeks seemed like 3 months! It was hot and humid there! (sorry for those of you that have to live in the humidity). Spending over a year at Ft. Eustis, VA and at basic training in Columbia SC that was enough for me!! Anyway Chadman is home now and doesn't have to travel anywhere for now. He has been taking it easy this week from that hard two week schooling! We were all happy to reunite with each other.
Joshua turned 6 months too! He is a big boy already. At his check up he weighed in at 18.4 lbs. and is 27.5 inches long! I took him out of the infant car seat carrier, now he is in the big boy seat the other was killing my arm and shoulder!! ;-) He is and has been rolling over (since Kaitlynn's birthday). That is his mode of transportation if we don't carry him! He is a smiler, giggler and loves to suck on his hands/toes and what ever winds up near his mouth! I can't tell if he is getting his teeth yet, he sure acts like it but still no pearly whites! He has been eating solid foods too! (just started that this month). So far he likes it all, from sweet potatoes, to bananas, to spinach! ~ahhhrrr Popeye!
Now for Miss Kaitlynn she is a trip...she has been quite challenging on her naps/bed time but that is par for the course! On a "no nap day" she goes to bed really early and that makes for a quiet evening! We have been trying to take full advantage of the great weather. Its been in the 80's still so we are out taking walks to the park or playing in the yard if Joshua is taking his nap!! She got her first shiner this week. She had a run in with a plastic baseball bat...it looks pretty now! Like we put on purple, blue and green eyeshadow. Her eye was swelling quickly and I wanted to head home to ice it, and she was kicking and screaming because she wanted to stay and play! no matter what her ping pong sized eyebrow was looking like!! (we did make it home to get the swelling down)! Kaitlynn goes to dance class on Tuesday's and she really enjoys it. We usually stay after and play with one of her little friends. (this makes for a nap day!)
I am still enjoying staying home and playing wife, and mommy full time! I like to make it to bible study on Wednesday's both the kids are in the nursery and I get a couple of hours to be refreshed!
My sister (Rachel), brother (John) and Rachel's hubby to be Andrew moved to town this weekend. They are the new tenants in my mom's apartment on Albion. Its a cute apartment and in a good location for all kinds of things and hopefully good employment! Good luck to them on their new start in Idaho!!
