tons of fun
Saturday, July 24, 2010
That's what we've been doing, having tons of fun! We have had late nights, sleepy mornings, gone to the drive-in, cooked out with friends, played monopoly, had family movie nights, eaten way too much good food, and talked lots about the future. We have also spent the last couple of days at the pool. SO. MUCH. FUN!
Shiloh in the big pool with Daddy, she is so brave!
Kaleb was everywhere and is really coming along with his swimming!
Our pool provides these rafts and noodles, lots of fun!
Daddy caught Kaleb!!!
And LAUNCHED him!
Silly Shiloh in the super cool toddler pool they have
Gabe Gabe gets launched, too!

Emmeline and I stayed in the big pool for a good long while with everyone else both days, and she loved it! She smiles and kicks her feet. She's a water baby for sure! But eventually she got worn OUT! I sat out with her while everyone played, she ate and passed out. When I laid her down to change in to her clothes, she didn't BUDGE. That is tired!

Emmeline had her 6 month check up yesterday. She is still a peanut, but a steadily growing one! She weighs 15lbs and 7oz, which is in the 29th percentile. She is 25 1/2 inches long, which is in the 31st percentile. Her head measures in the 65th :)
It is so funny to me that my largest baby at birth is my smallest baby as she grows! But she is healthy and bright eyed, friendly and social. Oh, and she loves sitting with her Daddy and stealing whatever is close by to play with! Like yesterday with the root beer bottle...

dreamland

I feel like I'm living in a dreamland! Tyrone came home on Wed. evening for R&R! Everything has been so very perfect.
Today we took the kids to the fair, and it could not have been more magical. Shiloh, being tall as she is, was just tall enough to ride on everything but the REALLY scary ones. We were a little surprised to find that both Gabe and Shiloh were utterly fearless and just laughed and laughed the higher or faster a ride went. Kaleb is a bit more reserved, which he comes by honestly. His mother is not a fan of higher or faster rides!
I was perfectly content to wear the baby, and sit with whoever was not going on the current ride, taking pictures, and thoroughly enjoying how happy my whole family was! Emmeline slept a good bit, and it was so easy to take little breaks in the shade with her, discreetly nursing, while big kids rode something with Daddy. The frequent breaks kept her happy and really made the whole thing very relaxed. She LOVED watching all the people and lights from the safety of the sling or our arms, you would never imagine it would be so easy to take a 6 month old to the fair!

Our squadron has lost 2 more brave soldiers and had 6 more injuries. One of those killed had a wife and son. I cannot tell you how indescribably heartbroken I am for these families. If you could find a moment to pray for them, I would be grateful. We have faith but are scared. I will put up something more in a few days when it has been made official, as of now we are not to give names.
There is a little boy who will never see his daddy again in this life because he was brave enough to protect us all. I received this phone call while in the yard watching my own boys play Indians with their new bows and arrows. A was with me...I got the call before she did. I relayed the news, and she stared at me with a quivering lip while I cried standing there, staring back at her. This is so hard.

A and I had one of our famous cookouts today. Both of our husbands are deployed. Together, actually, they see each other on a daily basis. So, it is nice for us to get our kids together and do things like this. It was pretty basic, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chips, juice, ice cream sandwiches! We both have a bunch of kids, though, so when the two of us get together, there are 7 munchkins! Instant party!
