Reece Turns One and The Shocking News

This past weekend on Valentine's day Reece turned one. To honor that occasion my sister had a big blowout party at her house. She had lots of food, cake and the house was filled with people to celebrate the birthday boy. He got lots of clothes and toys and I think the favorite thing was his new drum set. If I was my sister I would buy ear plugs. When it came time for the cake Reece was a little unsure but finally he tried some and well I think the rest went on his face, hair and the floor. I think a good time was had by all.




The Birthday Boy

Maybe he will be famous

Are you looking for me?

Ah the cake

Well at least he tried it

Onto the shocking news that put our household in a fog and a state of panic. This past week Nick got a package on our door step from Uncle Sam. Inside that package was his orders to return the military, to get retrained and ship to a unit that will most likely be deploying to Iraq. How long do you ask, well most likely a little over a year. No this is not a joke, I am for real and believe me this is really happening. He Reports to Ft. Jackson on April the 5th and from there we will know more about what is going to happen and what will take place. The funny side of this is that he had four months left on his IRR before he could resign his commission. So once again please keep us in your thoughts, and prayers because this will be a trying time for all. So the for the next month we are having to scramble to get things in line, and planned before he goes. So I do apologize if the web site is not updated more often. Until then.....

The nurse said he weighed how much???

This week was Griffen's nine month check-up. I can happily say that he got a clean bill of health and his ears looked great! Griffen also weighed in at 20.4 lbs and is 27 1/4 inches long. The doctor gave us approval to turn him around so we went today and got Barrett a new booster seat. We let Barrett pick it out and he is happy about getting a new seat. Also this weekend we took the boys to Bouncerland and well let's just say that Barrett had a wonderful time. Griffen just had fun watching all the kids run around. That is all that has been going on with us. It has quite few weeks even with the big snow that we got. We hope everyone is doing well.
