Proud.

I can't really put into words my support for the men and women that serve our country. It's so much more than slogans and t-shirts and 4th of July. I am so grateful to those that put their lives on hold to go and do something that's greater than themselves. Think about that for a minute. They literally go off into the unknown so that you and I don't have to. They pack up their bags and leave everything for God knows how long to face God knows what so that our freedoms are always protected. The courage that takes is unimaginable to me.
I'm beyond honored to call one of these brave men my husband. I am so incredibly proud of him and the man that he is. He is crazy, and funny, and smart, and strong, and very much the love of my life. I am equally proud of the sacrifices he makes on behalf of our country. Rob leaves this Spring to go back into the sand box. To once again endure that atmosphere so that I will never have to know what it's like to not have the life I have. While Henry and I will miss him an almost unbearable amount, we are proud. We ask that you join us in supporting Rob. Be in prayer for his safety and quick return. Be in prayer for Henry and I here in Maryland while we wait for him to come home. Be in prayer for those like him and the families like ours.

We've been bitten...

by the bug. Calm down Mom, it's not the baby bug. It's the craft bug! I LOVE crafts and sharing it with Henro has been so much fun! He gets so excited about it. We went to the craft store and bought a bunch of beads, glue, googley eyes, construction paper, and leaves for a month of projects and now Henry's always asking what we're making next! This week it was the Mayflower out of a Silk carton. Unfortunately, I didn't grab my camera until we were done. Next week I'll do better :)

He was pretty excited to show it off to Dad that night!
Then he helped me make some yummy fall treats to take to Ms. Becca's house for our playdate with her, Quinn, Ms. Hillary, and Maddison. They look messy, but they were good!

My own little project.

Stay tuned for Pilgrims and Indians!

Water Mill Fun!

We bought Henry a set of water mills last week and it has been the best thing we've gotten him in a while! He is very interested in how things work lately so this has been so much fun to play with! They came in a set of three and this one is the smallest. It juuust fits in our bathroom sink, the next size up has to be used in the kitchen sink, and the largest one can only be used in the bath tub! Needless to say, I'm cleaning water off the floor in several areas of our home now :)

My little scientist.

On another fun note, it's COLD here now! I love it for so many reasons, but one of the biggest is the return of footie pj weather!! I think Henry's pretty jazzed about it too, because he stayed in these all day. Anytime I would say "Okay. Lets go get dressed." he would say "Umm. No thank you." Oh well! It's not like we're going anywhere :)
