A Patriotic Goodbye

Wyatt felt like sporting his red, white, and blue today in honor of his daddy leaving on one LAST long trip before the 2008 Election!!!! November 4th is just around the corner...Yes, we're on the countdown... 28 Days, 17 hours, and 21 min to be exact! : )

Rest assured, I'll be holding things down on the home front, Dad! : )

A tearful goodbye for Mommy was soon turned into laughter when she saw the little man's bright smile and dimples!

Love you, Pops!

Our little pumpkin!

My boys!

Giving Wy a sip of Coke...Mommy was not too happy!

Crazy Baby!

Playing with Daddy's earpiece!!!

My boys in blue!

Big Boy Boxers!

Little prince charming proudly sported around his first pair big boy boxers. Doesn't he have the cutest little Pillsbury belly??? : )

Home Again!

Joe made it home yesterday and Wyatt has been a crazy baby ever since, trying to get Daddy to watch his every move! We've had a fabulous couple of days together! : )

Very good buddies...

Giving Daddy a wet one!

Joe feeding Wyatt some peas--Not his favorite thing to eat : )

First Haircut!

Wyatt had his 6-month pictures today and his hair was getting a little out of control, so I decided to get out the clippers and give the little man his first haircut. I was hoping Joe would be able to do it since he's a little more experienced in this area, but Mommy had to step in and fill the void... And I think I did a fine job!!! : )

I'm not sure about this, Dad...

Hey, I think Mommy did a pretty good job!

On the Road Again...

Well, Joe got to be home for almost 5 days before hitting the road again...So, we've officially seen each other now for 5 days out of the past 6 weeks. Although it was great to be together for a few days, the "hellos" followed by more "goodbyes" are always hard. We're hoping that he makes it home on Saturday evening so we can have a day together before he starts another assignment. I normally try hard not to wish time away, but November 4th just can't get here fast enough this year... We're hoping that it marks the end of Joe's travel, depending on which candidate wins the election??? OK, so I'm done splashing around in the pity pool now!!! : ) Wyatt and I truly are enjoying our time together... He certainly keeps me smiling! Our lives are still full and so blessed and I wouldn't change a thing.... I'm so thankful for all that we've been given!
