Catching up on the weekend...

We had a great time this past weekend, thanks in most part to Daddy being able to come home! It was so great to have him here and spend time together as a family. Aidan was still a little under the weather and continues to be so today, not eating as much and having a seemingly strange digestive system. His spirits are still great though and he doesn't have a temperature though, so we'll see how it goes!

Daddy brought home a very special present for Aidan (and himself ;)) this weekend and I've included some photos of it and of Aidan playing in the box that it came in. It'll be a great way for us to "keep in touch" with Daddy while he's away.

We also were able to get outside both days since it'd warmed up, walking to lunch and the grocery store and playing with bubbles outside on Saturday and enjoying a nice stroll again on Sunday.

I realized one big thing this weekend, I know that each time Andy comes home and has to leave again it's going to get increasingly difficult for me. With God's strength, I will be ok. I pray everyday for the courage and power to keep my chin up, and I greatly appreciate all of you that have kept us in your thoughts and call to check on us and include us in your daily lives. I thank you, and Andy thanks you. You'll be what helps get us through the next year.

This is a great present, Dad! Thanks!

I love my new toy!
