He's back!

Jacob is finally back in our arms! Homecoming of course did not go as I imagined! Our car wouldn't start so most of the day was spent trying to figure transportation out. Thank goodness for great friends! I didn't get to make a sign, we got there 20 min later than planned and then it started to pour! The boys were troopers! We stood in the rain for a little over an hour then we saw our daddy! Asher was so excited! Tucker could have cared less lol. He was people watching. Jacob had some work to do afterwards so I took the boys home to get them in dry clothes. We were all so excited to get jake home. It's surreal. I keep wondering if I'm just going to wake up and this has all been a dream! Tucker loves his daddy and Asher is ready to hit the golf course with daddy:) I'll try to get Jake to write his own entry later:) love you all

7 Months!

Hello Everyone! Once again, I am sorry about the length of time between posts! I thought having Asher away for the summer would somehow make life a little easier. I was WRONG! We have had a busy few months. Tucker and I flew to Missouri to see my wonderful inlaws. It was a great trip

      Tucker is 7 months old today. Weighing in at 19.3lbs and 29.5 in long. He is growing like a weed! He is wearing 12month clothes! He started the baby food dinners like turkey and rice, vegetable beef, and chicken and rice. He loves them! I think he's excited that its not just weird veggie/fruit combos mom makes up. He is now on a bottle. I have been mixing breast milk that I have had stored with formula but we are almost out of my storage so he will be on just formula soon. He is an active little boy, he is learning that he can move himself. He scoots himself backwards consistently and today even went forward once! Its going to be so soon! We think his teeth are finally going to make an appearance after MONTHS of drooling, chewing and discomfort. His bottom two seem to but pushing up. He jabbers away all the time. His first word was "HAHA" thanks to my baby sister. It is what he calls her and so now she will forever be known as Aunt HAHA :)

       Asher is still in Hawaii. He comes home next week! He seems to be having a great time but he says hes ready to come home. He wants to go to North Carolina so he can play golf. Definitely Jacob's son!

      Jacob is feeling the last stretch of his deployment. I've heard them say that the last month of pregnancy lasts 789 days, well the last few months of deployment last 1035 days! Those of you close to us know the general time frame of when Jake will be home. Those who don't, as soon as that ship is safely in a U.S port, I will update you! :)
      I am overwhelmed by the fact that I have two weeks until I go home and I have to get my home set back up and boys settled in and plan my reception. EEKKK! I am so glad that going home means I am that much closer to having my family back together.

We love you all!!
