Venice, Italy

     We had a wonderful visit with Aaron's dad and his wife a couple weekends ago when they came to visit us. Aaron just happened to have a four day weekend, so he was off the entire time they were here. It worked out perfectly! The first day {9/18} was pretty relaxed. We signed them in on base and then ate dinner at a local restaurant. We were a little bummed that our favorite pizzeria was closed, but made the best of it and tried some place new.

Bubbles and Boots

   Aaron has been back home for a few days now, and we are enjoying every minute with him. He got back on Saturday afternoon and boy were we happy to see him. Connor couldn't wait for me to open the gate, so he started trying to climb the fence. Silly boy. When we came inside, he gave his daddy the picture he drew for him. It was so sweet how happy he was.

All Smiles

...because my honey comes home today!

      Aaron has been training in Germany for the last 3 weeks. We have talked some, but since I broke my phone it has been hard to text and even answer the phone at times. We have missed him a ton! I have loved every minute I have spent with my little guy, but I am so happy his daddy is coming back!

Italy House: Kitchen

    The kitchen is open to the living room, which is why I freaked out when we saw that it had BLUE cabinets. None of our stuff is blue, so how were we going to make it work? Well, we really didn't have a choice but to use what we already had. I wasn't going to buy all new stuff for a kitchen that I am only going to have to live in for 3 years. Other then the blue cabinets, it's not too bad. Since there is hardly any counter top space, I have to use the table as my prep area. Good thing we have a bar height table!

Why they couldn't make them all like the white ones on the top, I have no idea!

Connor: Seventeen Months Old

*Favorite foods: Bananas, blueberries, grapes, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches {without crust}, and pancakes. I have started letting you eat your snacks either on the stairs or at your small table in the living room.
