Sorry it's been a while. We have been very busy lately! Preparations have begun for our brigade's homecoming, and between that and getting ready for the holidays, things have been a little hectic! I will try to catch up a little on what has been going on with us. For Thanksgiving, we traveled back to Cincinnati to spend time with our families. We had a great trip, even though we didn't get to visit everyone we would have liked to. Here are some photos from our trip:
I ran a 10K on Thanksgiving morning, and when I got back this is how I found Caellum...fast asleep on the floor, passed out in the middle of playing with all Meemaw's toys!
The kiddos enjoying their Thanksgiving dessert...they all chose chocolate cake over pumpkin pie!
Ty driving Papaw's boat...he is a little obsessed with Papaw's garage and always loves to play in it when we're there!
The boys got some early Christmas presents from some of our family that we won't get to see at Christmas. Ty got a Lightening McQueen remote control car....
and Caellum got a Little People car set!
We put up our Christmas tree, and decorated the house for Christmas:
Caellum in his cowboy boots and diaper playing with Ty's car! :-)
Ty helping decorate our patriotic Christmas tree!
Caellum helped too...if you count throwing ornaments across the room as helping, lol!
And the most important thing that is to come....JOSH'S HOMECOMING! Yay!!!!
I can't divulge too much information, but we are in the home stretch of this deployment. That's all I will say for now. I haven't posted much about the deployment in fear of giving out too much information, but I am hoping to post a bit more about our year-long journey when everyone is safely home. For now, please say prayers that our brave men and women continue to stay focused while they are still "in country," and pray that they all have a safe trip home, whenever that may be.
A HUGE thank you goes out to Aunt Kathy for giving me a car full of donated items to help welcome our single soldiers home! Also, thank you to those who donated white towels for our soldiers! Thanks to all of you, these guys (and gals) are coming home to a room full of nice things to get them through a few days until they can get their own personal belongings and vehicles back.
So, that is what has been going on...a LOT of exciting things to look forward to! :-)
