It is officially HOT in Texas! I can't complain because I love the pool and the heat;) I can't believe it has already been a month and a half since Weston left. I am glad it is going by fast! God has been ever patient with me, and has given me all he promises! I am a slow learner, but know he will get me through this and I will be better for it!
Wyatt just turned 8 MONTHS OLD! Oh my goodness, my baby, is getting so big;( I told Weston I just want to get in a corner and cry! I want him to stay little and stop growing:) He is doing great, though. He is eating plenty of solid foods. I am making his food from scratch. I steam fruits and vegetables and then puree them and he loves it! It makes me feel better that he is getting pure food that has all the good nutrients God made. He hasn't started crawling, yet, but I am not pushing it too much. He can get where he wants to go, but it isn't crawling. He reaches out for me now, which is indescribable. He knows me as momma and reaches out to me all the time. It is amazing! He has recently started hugging me real tight and gripping on me and my clothes when I hold him. He laughs all the time, and still is such a content, happy, baby. He misses Daddy, and always smiles and coos when he sees him.
Weston is doing great! We miss eachother terribly, but cannot wait for him to come home in February for R&R! He is amazing! I am in awe every day at how wonderful God has blessed me, and how much more I love Weston everyday, and God for picking him for me! He has been pretty busy lately, but is surrounded by friends, and that makes it more like home. Right now we talk, if not every day, then every other day. It may be on Skype or just a phone call, but I don't complain-it could be so much worse! I send him lots of letters and things from me and Wyatt. I send him a care package about every few weeks, and the letters in between he really loves.
Everything back here in Texas is great. We are trying to stay busy, and are about to head to Va for a family visit and then to SC for the beach! Thank you all SO much for the prayers! Keep them coming, and know how much you are loved and appreciated for them!
God Bless our Troops, God Bless the Army, and God Bless America!

3 weeks down...February can't come soon enough!
Well, we have almost made it a month, and I am proud of Weston and I. God has given us just what we need to get through this.
Weston is doing great. He isn't able to tell me what he does every day,which really is a good thing, but he is loving every second and is glad to finally be in Afghanistan, and getting his own opinion of how things are and what is going on. He ate GOAT for dinner the other night..cool and a little scary...I don't want him catching any crazy disease;) No, I'm kidding. He's fine and I think it is pretty neat all of the things he is getting to experience. I saw a picture of him in his uniform, which is a little different now that he is deployed. I think my husband is the most beautiful man I have ever seen(just a little biased;)) He and I are able to talk everyday-sometimes less-but I am not complaining. We are using SKYPE and that is a gift from God. We feel so blessed and lucky to be able to see and hear eachother!
Wyatt and I are doing great. He keeps me plenty busy and now with the Texas heat, we have our friend the pool to keep us occupied! Wyatt loves the water. He gets tired and bored pretty quickly, but that is to be expected. He will be 8 months old on the 14th-TEARS!! I cannot believe he is already 8 months-Weston and I are so proud of him and couldn't love hime more.
Weston and I were talking a couple days ago and he suggested me working a little more with Wyatt on his steps to crawling. I didn't even think about putting him down and seeing what he was able to do. Well, Weston was right-he is definitely making progress! scary....
I have had some hurtles to jump over since he left. Us Army wives call it Murphy's law-when something happens after your husband leaves-I have had a few un-wanted guests since he left- a RATTLESNAKE and a toad. Yes, notice the rattlesnake is in all caps. I thought I might have a heart attack and die and the snakes side when I saw it. It was only a "teen" and to me it was huge!!! I went and got some snake repellent, so that better work! The toad is huge, and I don't mind him as much,I just don't like hime hopping around my patio at night!
I am going to attach Weston's address to this post if anyone wants to tell him hello!I will be in GA for a couple days at the end of June-hope to see some of you if I have time!
Love you all and God Bless our Troops!
