This Week

I would like to start with apologizing. I have let my blog fall to the way side lately. We are preparing for Matthew to come home for a 14 day visit before his return to Kuwait. Thanks for your prayers!

A fantastic, healthy, and Christian chain called Chick-fil-a has a weekly family night! We enjoyed ourselves tonight, hoping to make time speed up for Daddy's arrival!

Movie on the Lawn

1st Cav sponsored a great Movie on the Lawn night. They took great care of us, free food, snacks, and drinks. The kids had a great time staying up late and playing outside in the dark.

This is the Alpha Company crew!

We wouldn't be able to survive this deployment without eachother!

Happy Birthday, Toby

C+B= Date!

Buxton and I went on a little date today, just him and I! We never have us time. After school we headed off for some frozen yogurt, Buxton had a blast making his own cup... mine too! We also got to write on the walls at this place. Buxton wrote his name very well. After dessert we headed off to the local pumpkin patch. After putting about 15 different pumpkins in our wagon, Buxton finally chose two pumpkins for Brayleigh and himself. He really wanted to get a BIG one for Daddy too. We're always thinking about Daddy. He learned well from Dad, Buxton told me my shoes were cute!

Thanks for a great date Buxton. I love you!
