{Deployment 2012}

Wow! Finally able to post an update. I know, I know it has been a few month since my last post but it has been a crazy busy few months. So much has happened I am not sure where to even begin, so here I go (I am going to split it up so make sure to check them all of my new post !)

{Deployment 2012}

Nora and I survived our 1st deployment together as Freddy left for Afghanistan on February 10th. It was very hard getting use to doing everything on my own, but I survived :). I am so thankful for everything Freddy does as he such a wonderful and hands on dad. You don't realize the difference having that extra set of hand around makes until you no longer have that help. I am also so thankful that I had my parents close by as they helped out alot! If it wasn't for them I think this post would be A LOT different. HAHA. We were able to skype with Freddy every week so that made this deployment a lot easier! It was really neat watching the reaction Nora would have when we would skype. Sometimes she was very interactive with Freddy and then other times she just wanted to play. Through out the deployment Freddy sent us a book that have a video with it of him reading to her and Nora LOVED that, it made me cry every time we watched the video because she was so mesmerized by her daddy and would laught and talk to him.

Freddy got home at the end of April. After several delays on the route home, he made it! We were very excited to see him. Nora was not sure at first what to think and then when she realized it was daddy she was all smiles.

Thankfully this deployment was short so Daddy did miss too much and was home before we knew it. There were plenty of night though that it seem liked he was gone forever and would never be home. I really am lucky to have to such an easy going baby that it made this deployment a little bit easier. I couldnt imagine doing this with a cranky baby.

WELCOME HOME DADDY!
