Daddy, this is for you.

Specially picked with love by Gavin. We miss you.

Rocket Launch

Miss Kathy (my nurse and new friend) brought the boys a treat. As you can see they were thoroughly enjoyed. Seth picked flowers and took turns giving them to Mommy, Pookie, and Miss Kathy.
We got to see some pretty amazing launches. This gentleman was a great sport about having little boys show up and ask questions and follow him around.
The boys got their exercise chasing after the rockets after they landed. There was a nice breeze. Great for sitting out in the hot sun. Not so great for rocket retrieval.

Boys.

We scored the motorcycle at a garage sale for $20.00. Gavin is finally wanting to ride, but it has been a HUGE hit. We are definitely getting our moneys worth out of this toy. Friends are enjoying it just as much as we are!

Last Date with Daddy.

We met our friends there, so you see Blake and Emily in a few of the shots.

I think...

..we need to clean out our gutters. Baby trees. Lots of them.

Date with Mommy.

Daddy dropped us off for an early dinner and movie. Dinner with the boys - great. Walk to the theater, stopping to taste the clover nectar and enjoying the beautiful fragrance from the fields of flowers - great. Finding out the movie wasn't at the theater and having to interrupt Andrew's study time for a ride home - not so great. Movie night at home worked out fine. This was one of my few outings in the last month. I still am getting worn out quickly from any exertion. I am learning patience and thankfulness and I don't know what else. I LOVE my family. There are no words to how thankful I am for them.

Update.

Andrew is gone. Till mid-July.
My camera battery is recharged, so more photos coming soon.
Last night we had the sirens going off with a big storm and had a sleepover in the basement.
This morning I learned about how to get myself in to see a doctor at the base clinic pronto - new staph pustules near my wound.
A shot in the butt and new antibiotic meds and my mommy on the way, and I am feeling better.
Pray for the boys. They go from playing well to hurting each other in an instant. Never seen this type of aggressive behavior from them before (hitting, choking). And Gavin is having intentional accidents like Seth did when he was 3 and daddy was gone. Thanks for praying for us. More fun posts coming soon (we will have transportation to get out of the house w/ Pookie here!)
