Well, we didn't think we were going to make it back home until our final out June 2011, but this holiday season has really made it hard NOT to miss home, so we are leaving December 21. Joe was able to spare a couple weeks, while Tyler and I will be staying for a couple of months! Yes, we will miss Dad, but we will pretend it's a TDY, and I'm sure time will fly for all of us. I'm sure the grandparents won't mind too much having another little grandchild running around creating chaos. We are so excited to see everyone, but again, NOT looking forward to the flight with a one-year-old. We will survive, as we always do.
An update on schooling, Joe is hitting the books pretty hard taking a couple classes at a time...keeping very busy. I'm still plugging away as week 6 of 8 ends and then ONE MORE CLASS and I am DONE!!! I cannot wait, and I certainly will not miss writing a paper every single week of my life. I am running out of words.
Tyler is growing like a weed, and is starting to show his fun and crazy side. His little ornery smiles make the days interesting, to say the least. He is into everything (including the toilet). He has grown two shoe sizes in just one month. That seems just crazy to me. When he turned one, we went off the bottle cold turkey and he's done great with that, and sleeping through the nights too ever since. We couldn't ask for more.
Can't wait to see you all, 10 days!Here are some more updated pics:
The pic above is Tyler in clothes from Afghanistan, thanks to our friend who is over there right now. We appreciate all that you do Adam!
