6 more days

Stu is in Qatar. I don't feel well. The light isn't working in my new freezer and the temp has gone up 2 degrees in 45 min. Say a prayer.  Short and to the point tonight.

trailer instead of tent

1 more week!

Stuart leaves for Qatar at 330 local time (7am here)! Yay!!!! The flight was pushed back a bit.... but his flight from Germany home is commercial - so no screwing around! I don't think its really set in that he will be home in 1 week!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The kids are really trying hard to break me before Stu gets home. J peed ALL over my bed this am. He has been in one of his moods all day. Diva Hadley has been her usual self. Damn teething. I just take another deep breath and say rock on. We can do this. So soon, yet so far away.

Today we went to the Zoo. Its such a nice zoo, but I miss the Lousiville zoo. I knew it forwards and backwards and they had a splash park! Im pretty good at getting lost in this zoo. Even with a map, lol.

The tulips are beautiful! 

Im pretty sure he almost touched this giraffe!

So excited for the train! and first in line!

Fun on the train. J refused to let me take his picture. 

8 more days!

STU IS LEAVING BAGRAM IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS!!

Thats right folks! The journey home begins soon!!Woooooooooo hoooooooooo!! Wed he goes to Qatar, Saturday to Germany, and then USA on the 6th!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had 5 fillings today. Yes, 5. Apparently pregnancy was not so good on my teeth either time around and pregnancy gingivitis has just led to bad dental health. No fun. My mouth hurts so bad =( 

They are a mess! Jackson pooped in his underwear so it was back to pull ups. Then, he proceeded to pee through his pull up all over the kitchen floor right before dinner. I hope this starts going a little smoother when daddy gets home. 

Little miss diva is being quite the pill lately. Throwing all kinds of fits and refusing a lot of her bottles. So much so, that I even took her to work to have Dr Tara check her ears (she wouldn't cooperate for me). Of course her ears are fine.  She certainly has no problem drinking Starbucks (mommy fail!). 

9 more days!

Happy Birthday, Grandma Bertsch! We love you and are looking forward to seeing you soon!

Text from Stu today:

Hey babe

How are you

Got up and went for a run and right before I got in shower the power went out! So I turned water on and it worked! But after I put soap on water stops working! So I had to finish with water bottles!

Needless to say power was out for 2-3 hours

But we have internet back now

Hilarious! He sent this during church or else I would've seriously laughed out loud!

Sunday Funday. Church. Lunch on the deck. Breaking out the swimsuits! (Not sure H was a fan of this at first) Soccer. Dinner at Bdubs. Whew. This mama is crashing.

10 more days

We are almost into single digits. Wowzers!!!!!

I had to work this morning. Then, Andrea and I took the kids to the spring fling at the neighborhood elementary school. So fun for J man! We spent the beautiful afternoon outside again =)  Somehow both kids napped at the same time and I went 1 on 1 with this stupid bush out front. Its huge. I'm pretty sure it was planted when the house was built and some of its roots are seriously the size of tree roots. Stu better love me. Ok, I didn't get all of it but I got quite a bit!

Stu is bored and tired of waiting to start his journey home. It took him 5 days to get out there, wonder how many it will take to get home?!

11 more days

Pretty sure this might be the longest 11 days of my life. Sigh.

Todays picture is in the form of a video, and I don't even think it will work on here. I will try... its Hadley blowing bubbles in the bathtub.  Getting SO big!

12 more days...

The countdown is on! Beyond excited!!

Today the kids went to Totters Otterville. I pulled a bunch more weeds (the never ending job) before work. Blah. Will be so glad when Stuart comes home and can take over. There are so many things he needs to take over .... I grilled out tonight. A for effort, C for taste, ha. At least I tried!
