It's Begun

We finally took the first steps to building our new home. It's been stressful yet fun at the same time. It has been amazing the see how the architect takes our vision and puts it on paper. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we stay on track with this whole process that we are about to begin! We are very excited about the coming year and just wanted to share our house journey! Here are the third draft sketches : )

He's Back!!

It was a loooong 15 days but JD finally made it home from Africa! We have never had to spend so much time apart and it was definitely not easy. Our 2 weeks apart had me wondering how military families (with or with out kids) do it. Its a constant worry even though we were able to have brief, broken conversations. Luckily, JD didn't share all of his adventures over the phone. I would have really been a basket case if he had! Regardless, he made it home safe and sound and Aubree and I were ecstatic to see him!

We made a sign for JD the night before he came home from "Afaca"

Running for Daddy as soon as she saw him! We saw JD

before he saw us so Aubree was able to call out to him to get his attention.

Together again!!
