for my Tante Andra!

Adam is FINALLY home!!!!!

We have been enjoying him being here...

every second.

Adam agreed he has grown like a weed over the last 2 weeks.

So many things have changed, it's kinda sad.

Thursday Adam was off and so we hung out in our pajamas for awhile and Graham was a happy boy... below is proof.

Then Adam and I (and grg) went to Wichita on Saturday before attending Graham's fourth buddy b-day party.

But in Wf, we got Graham a "Johnny Jump Up"! Oh boy! Does he look cute in it, he laughed and talked and carried on when I first put him in it and then by the time I got my camera out he was way serious and looked at me like I was crazy... but still he's cute!

...o! and he got his "Mohawk" hat in the mail and I laughed out loud for 20 minutes.

the next picture.... brings humongous crocodile tears to my eyes.

Thank. You. Lord. ...is all I can say. 

We missed you, Baby! Graham honored you in text, right on his belly.

pride reinforces love.

in honor of father's day.

i am one lucky girl to have been giving such wonderful men to look up to on this day...

Dad.

Thanks for always bailing me out of any problem I have ever encountered.

I am truly blessed that this man is in my life.

We don't always see eye to eye but I hear that goes with the Daughter/Father thing. Everything that we have gone through has made us stronger. This man loves to do for others and if I learn one thing from him I hope it's to give.

He never stops giving.

Watching him and his love for his family makes me a better person and I'll thank him every day for this.

I love you, Dad.

Ronald.

First and for most, thank you for loving my Momma.

Your one of the greatest men I know and a wonderful "Pot" to my baby Graham and precious MG.

Thank you for loving us like your own.

We are lucky to have you in our lives.

the next two need no introduction:

...they are just the loves of my life.

and I am so lucky that they are mine.

I could never find the words to write that would describe how much I love these two.

The last 2 years have been by far the best years of my life.

Thank you for providing for us, playing with us, laughing with us, laughing AT us, protecting us, helping us and loving us.

Happy FIRST Father's Day!!!!

I am the luckiest girl in the world.

Father's Day father-less.

We just got home from a five day adventure to East Texas to visit Adam's mom and tons of family!

Adam's Nonna and Papa D joined me in the car along with Graham for our four hour trip. We were packed house! It was Graham's third big trip, I'd guess. 

Adam is still gone. 

Day 10.

So, he will miss his first Father's Day and that makes me very sad.

Not only will he miss his first FD but he has also missed:

1. Graham rolling over from his tummy to his back

2. Graham's "laugh out loud"

3. Graham rolling over from his back to his tummy

4. Graham taking his pacifier out of his mouth and putting it back in. (amazing)

5. A replaced toilet.

6. His Nonna and Papa D.

7. Our trip.

8. About 8 explosions.

9. Eating our carrots and sweet potatoes and trying a sippy cup.

10. And a 6.5 carat ring.

Needless to say, a lot.

....not such a good picture of Graham but the best one of the bunch.

friday fabulousness...

Well, aside from the fact that Adam left today (for who knows how long) I had a pretty lax day.

I found a cheap find today that made me happy and laugh out loud...

like father, like son.

seems like I've spent most of my day on the computer helping a friend get birthday ideas and while searching I found myself on a completely different path. I love looking at pictures and these made me relive, remember, love, or think back to something great in my past.

go away with me.

Have a great weekend. Cheers.

this makes my day!

what happened to my baby boy?

okay, stop! There are way too many things happening! Everyday. Wow... slow down. Seriously. Just when you think he has done something remarkable, (bam!) he does something again. Today, I walk into the laundry room to take his clothes from the washer to the dryer...maybe 5 minutes...and I was he rolled over! He was laying one direction when I left and when I came back, I was like "wait a minute, something is wrong with this picture, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" We clapped and carried on for about 10 minutes, Graham thought it was pretty cool but still hasn't laughed again since Monday. :( I've tried to do funny things but they turn out scary and he thinks I'm dumb (i just know).
I took video today of him eating his lunch! He had green beans and if I can figure out how to upload it you will see it too! Stay tuned....
Now, that he can roll over I had to take a picture of him in action and text it to all of his grandparents and Daddy.
Speaking of Daddy,  he called around......10ish this morning and informed me that Friday (yes, Friday!) he will be leaving for West Virgina. Why they don't let these boys know ahead of time I will never understand. .. I mean, come one people, surely we have an idea!?!? It's not that I don't understand that it comes along with the job but it's not all about me anymore, we have a baby! A family.
So, with that being said, we are headed to Mimi and Pop's for a few days. Not sure when we will take off, but we are trying to get things in order and a weekend worked through and we will know more. Maybe sooner than later depending on how lonely this time is. It's worse now with a kid, don't ask me how.

until then, we are gonna soak up some time with Adam.
