Picture catch up


Here are a few pictures that didn't make it into any other posts...  I know they are random, but remember one of the main reasons of this blog is to keep Chad up to date on life here while he's gone!

Gabi's 7th Birthday!


Addison had just come from gymnastics apparently...













 Since we were in Georgia for so long over the winter, I signed Addison up for gymnastic.  I loved the instructor.  He was an alternate for the Olympic team in 2000 and he did a great job.  I felt like he was actually teaching, instead of it feeling more like playtime. 


This is what we came home to in March!  My dad and Addison learning together how to shovel snow!









I am not ready to see this again anytime soon!!


In June, my family went out to Carrabba's.  

My brother Chris and his wife Brooke.  So excited that they are expecting their second baby in March!!

 My parents and grandmother

Blogs are interesting.  Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends.  We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives.  While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though...  The moments that we fail completely as a parent.  The moments that we are to busy to stop and help.  The moments we sit in silence and wonder why.  The moments when life is just flat out hard.  In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war.   In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be.   I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away.   Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer.  I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...
