Well, it's official, Jeff has been gone 180 days! It's hard to believe that he has been gone 6 months and we have just 7 days (and a wake up) until he is back at home with us.
So much has happened the last half year. Here are a few things that Jeff has missed out on while he's been gone:
-The girls have grown and changed so much ( Em was just 16 months when he left) and has changed from baby to full grown toddler
-We've battled sickness after sickness (several colds, several rounds of the flu and pneumonia)
-We've celebrated several big holidays/birthdays (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, My 31st birthday, Valentine's Day and Easter this Sunday)
- My new found appreciation for running and my first 2 races (5K and an 8K)
-Housing and vehicle repairs X 10!
-180 nights of reading and tucking the girls into bed
-Kim and Larry having a new baby (this Wednesday)
-Several visitors (April & Cailyn, Kelly, Cindy & Lucas, Karen, Mom and Linda) and a 3 week trip to Maine
-Lily learning to write her name, cut with scissors, color in the lines and so much more at school. She is so smart and has become so independent these last 6 months
-Em growing long hair, getting her last 4 baby teeth and learning to talk and sing
-A new year and a new president!
-The change of two seasons
-A new sport for the girls, Gymnastics. They LOVE it!
-180 hugs and kisses from your three girls!
We are so excited...just need to keep busy to help pass these last 7 days!! We love you sweetie!!
