Gone, once more.

Ok, so this is getting kind of OLD!

Bryan is gone, again--on his way back to Ft. Polk after his weekend visit. Kayne just started warming up to him, and then he had to go. This is the first night in a LONG time that he cried himself to sleep in his crib, and I'm quite sure that it had a lot to do with Daddy leaving. I know that it is hard on me, so I am SURE that it is hard on Kayne to have Bry here, then gone, then here, gone, etc... I think that we are going to try and go out to Ft. Polk for the LAST TIME at the end of March. Bryan will be heading home to start his 30 days terminal leave on April 4th, and we want to go and say goodbye to everyone at the company's family picnic on the 27th of March. That will definitely be a bittersweet time for our whole family, as it was the backdrop for the majority of our family memories--not to mention the fact that it is where we met, fell in love, and were married.

I am posting a few pics of us at the park last night. We had a great time with the kids, and I know that they are both looking SO forward to Bryan getting home for GOOD!!

Daddy is visiting!

Bryan is home visiting us!! He got Monday off, and came home for Jules' birthday parties. This year has obviously been really crazy for us all, but especially her. Bryan has done a great job of being a steady man in her life over the past year--and it has brought us all closer. With Marcus' birthday coming next week on the 15th, we are planning a birthday celebration for him as well.

Plans for this b-day weekend have changed like a bazillion times since we started talking about it last month :-) However, we decided on dinner for all of us at a small, delicious deli called Too-Jay's Gourmet Deli. I called ahead and ordered the 'Banana Dream' cake for her and it was AMAZING! We had a great time all decked out in hot pink and black (like she requested) and just enjoyed our time being together. I will upload pics soon!

Tomorrow is our family party for her and Mom has gone all out with the pink and black theme. I am excited to see how everything looks! I am just enjoying having Bryan home, even if it is only for a couple of days. I just don't realize how much I miss him until he is here and gone again. The kids miss him lots too. Kayne just keeps saying 'Dad, dad, dad, dad, dad... HI!' LOL! He is so stinking cute!

More updates later...
