Well I now officialy have a 7 year old and a 1 year old. Where has the time gone? My baby grew up, what seems to have been overnight. She had a great birthday yesterday, and we had our usual Pizza Hut night out with our dear friends the Starr's joining us. She got to open her gifts, and I think was more excited about a baby doll her RyRy got her that talks than anything else. Although now she also has a big girl chair that I put together this morning that she is pretty excited to sit in. I think that she feels importnant!
Kaitlynn is going to have her party on the 3rd of April, with all our family and close friends. We have decided that she needs no more presents though. So since her daddy is about to deploy to join his new unit, we are having everyone bring things for the soldiers. That way it helps out our troops and daddy can meet new people in his unit while handing out things to people.
This weekend the kiddo's are going to stay at Grammy and Pappa's. They are very excited. Mommy and daddy are not sure what they are going to do for a whole weekend to themselves! =) We dont have many more weekends left before Rob leaves, so we are taking advantage of them now while we can.

Ok so I know it has been over a year since I last wrote on this thing. I will try and be better at this, now that I remember my password! Gosh what a blond moment. The problem is that every thing that is on the computer has to have a user name and password and as much as I try to make them all the same, it doesn't seem to happen that way. So I end up forgetting lots of user names and passwords to sites. URGGGG!
Well so lots has happened in this last year. March 23rd Kaitlynn will be 1 already. It is hard to believe that my lil baby is already so grown up. She acts like she is a toddler already with her fits (boy am I in for it). We are planning her party now, it is going to be a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed party, as that is what she loves to watch every morning. Rob and I think that she is going to be a dancer too as she moves her body to any kind of music.
Ryan is doing well in the 1st grade and likes his new teacher. He has gotten to play out in the snow a few times, so that has made his day. We have not gotten to go sledding as of yet, but I am sure that NY is not done with snow yet for the season, I would be surprised if it was! Ryan is a very good big brother, and loves his sister.
We are all settled in to our house on post in Fort Drum NY. Big change from being at Benning for the past 6 years. I miss my friends and job greatly. I have a friend up here that I talk to on a daily basis and thank goodness she is up here, or I would go crazy.
We are getting ready for Rob to leave to Iraq. I of course can't post the exact date on here for opsec reasons, but he only has a few weeks left here before he goes to join his unit that is already over there. The kids are going to have a hard time I am sure. Kaitlynn is such a daddy's girl and Ryan has already dealt with daddy being gone for a year and he had a hard time then. I will just try to find things for them to do. At least we have family that is very close by and hopefully people come to visit us. At least it will not be a whole year this time around, so that is a very big plus. =)
Well I think that I got it most of the way caught up. I will be better I promise to blog, hey if nothing else at least twice this year instead of once! lol
