Cost of Freedom...

Hey Friends.

Hope you all are doing well. I have some news that I wanted to share. I've actually known about this for a while, but have been hesitant to talk about it. Jason (my husband) will be leaving in May for a 5 month deployment to Iraq. We knew this would always be a possibility with him being in the military - I just wish he wouldn't have to miss the 2nd half Murphy's first year. He'll miss so much - crawling, walking, first birthday - you know all those firsts that you can't ever get back. Dads and moms all over our nation sacrifice so much to serve our nation. They miss baseball games, little league soccer, dance recitals and just simply getting to tuck their kids in bed at night. So tonight, after you've had a long day and your kids have been driving you crazy, be glad you were there to witness their life, their day, their tantrums and their smiles. We take for granted these things until they are taken from us.

THANK YOU MILITARY FAMILIES FOR YOUR DAILY SACRIFICE!
Pray for our family! I have a lot of family and friends here to support me. My mom is such a big help with Murphy and I've got people that are willing to stay here with me when I need company. I believe in the power of prayer and I know God will watch over us and bring our family back together. These will be challenging months, but I have faith that it will make us stronger and more appreciative of each other.

MARCH is half over....

Yet again another month is here and I am just now getting around to blogging. Murphy is doing well. Getting bigger - he weighs almost 15 lbs now - which is huge for us because he started out so small and took forever to gain weight. Everyday it amazes me at how much he is learning and all the new milestones he meets. He's rolling over and gibber gabbering alot. He says momma or something that sounds like it. I have it on video if you don't believe me...haha (see video below)He loves to go strolling and his favorite cartoons are Blues Clues and Wonder Pets (to be honest I like the wonder pets just as much as he does) he laughs out loud when they are on. He also loves Moose on the Noggin channel.

This has already been a busy month. I had some new cabinets and desk built for the studio, Jason had his 30th Birthday, and my mom had a bday as well. So lots of celebrating going on here. I'm going to get those pics on here ASAP. I'm so bad about downloading pics from "little camera."

Here are some new pics. We will be taking 6 month pics next week.
