My growing belly!

Here's me at 23 (almost 24 weeks)! Still feeling pretty good! I'm sure in a few weeks I won't be able to say that anymore. I love this stage of pregnancy!

My Soldier!

I finally got a letter from Nathan so I have his address if anyone wants it!! Give me your email and I'll email it to you...its way to long and complicated to say over the phone!

He'd love to hear from anyone and everyone! Thanks!!!

Christmas 2008!

All ready in her Christmas dress!
I love this pic!
Well of course these downloaded out of order...but here's Christmas morning. Kaylin threw the baby doll that was in this stroller in that box right behind her and then started trying to get in the stroller herself. I guess she's not done being the baby!
She had to take a break after opening all those presents! She just laid there for like 3 min...(that is a LONG time for Kaylin to just sit there)
Of course she was more interested in the wrapping paper then all her new toys.
Nathan opening his stocking!
Kaylin carrying her stocking around. We had to show her that the bear came out and there was more inside. She was perfectly content with just carrying it around like that.

We were very blessed this Christmas! I am so grateful for our wonderful families!

Wildlife World Zoo

The day before Nathan left for basic we went to the Wildlife World Zoo with my mom and dad. It was a lot of fun. I'm glad we were able to go do something fun before Nathan left. Kaylin loved all the animals! It was so fun to watch her!


She was trying to lick the salt water off her hands! Gross!



She kept hitting her head on the glass trying to get to the fish! It was so funny!

She didn't want to leave this part!
In the petting zoo. You can tell she kind of didn't know what to think at first.
But then she warmed up to the little goats.
Nathan just shaved his head that morning and Kaylin though it felt so funny!

Well Nathan's officially gone. He ended up leaving the 31st instead of the 30th which was nice for me since We got to have one more date before he left. It was so hard dropping him off at the hotel. I'm not gonna post any pics of that. I'm sure you don't want to see a bunch of pics of us crying our eyes out (well mostly me). This has definatly been one of the hardest things I've had to go through. I'm just trying to take it day by day and trying to find things to do to occupy my mind. He should be home around my birthday which is April 11th. So hopefully it comes quick! One week down...13 more to go!!
