Boring

There is nothing new to report. Although I have been keeping myself busy running a bunch of errands this week. I did hear from Jordan that they will be deploying in April, but as far as how official that is I don't know. Alex is starting to get 2 more teeth. She is doing so much better as far as walking goes. She has a little walker that she loves to travel around the house with. She keeps me busy.

Jordan is gone

Well Jordan has gone to Louisiana. He left on Wednesday morning. He says for now the days are warm but the nights are cold. Luckily he gets pretty good reception out there so we can talk and catch up. Alex misses daddy a lot. She is always saying dada bye bye and she waves. So she knows that dad isn't home and that he is gone. Which is really bitter sweet. She is getting so close to walking on her own. She will let go of the couch and walk a couple of steps to her toys but I can get her to walk a little bit farther with some encouragement. So any day now I will have a walking soon to be toddler. Pretty soon she will be running, which I can wait for that day to come. You never fully realize how fast people grow up till you have a child of your own and see it for yourself. I can't believe that Alex is already 15 months old. Time flies when you're having fun.

Home at last.

From December 16th to January 2nd I was in Utah visiting my family for Christmas. Jordan was able to come out for a weekend visit from the 20th to the 23rd. Unfortunately he was unable to get leave to come out for Christmas. Alex and I enjoyed all of our time in Utah but are both glad to be home and in our own beds. Alex is sleeping peacefully and so am I. Jordan will be leaving at 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning to go to Louisiana for JRTC training before he gets sent on another tour, this time to Afghanistan. Alex is getting sick which is not so fun for me but she is taking it like a champ. She is doing well and is heathy as a horse. As far as we know she is great and there are no complications and we expect no complications due to her gastroschisis but of course there is no guarantee we just have to watch and make sure nothing different pops up.
