Audrey and her sweet boyfriend Harrison came out to visit for Spring Break. It was SO good to see her and get to spend more time with Harrison. They started dating about 4 or 5 months ago, and I was able to meet him over Christmas. He is darling, and he definitely deserves Audrey. Trust me, it has to be someone really special for me to say that:)
My sisters are my world and I miss them daily. They got here on Tuesday and were able to stay to Friday. We went and ate some good barbeque, went to the park,played board games, watched movies, and most of all..LAUGHED! They came with us to our swim class on Wednesday, and Harrison recorded us swimming around:) I was able to put them on Facebook for Weston to see.
Wyatt had so much fun with Audrey..he skypes with her a lot, so he knew exactly who she was when he woke up from his nap! He and Harrison hit it off right away, too.
Well, we are 7 weeks out from Weston being home, and I don't think I can be more ready. We have such a great summer planned. We are taking some beach trips and getting to go home and visit friends! I am just really looking forward to having "normal" back. Thank you, again, to all of you who pray daily. It doean't go unappreciated!
I am exchausted, so I will update again later!

Mommy and Me Swim Class
Wyatt and I have started taking a swim class. It is a class for him and I, and it is so much fun. It is a swim class for parent and child to do swimming together! We are taking classes on post(FT.Hood), and because Weston is deployed we get 4 free classes. Therefore, we are taking FREE swim classes!! Another great benefit to being in the Army:) You can only use them during a deployment, and we hit it just in time to use all four classes. So, we are taking classes thru May 12th!!!
We had our first class on Monday and it was halarious:) At first he was of course a little skeptical...Then, all of a sudden he was the next Michael Phelps. He was splashing and laughing..trying to get everyone to look at him. We are practicing a few basic water skills for the kids to learn before they get into atual swim lessons. We are learning how to "blow bubbles", "stroke our arms", and "kick our legs". I am thoroughly enjoying watching Wyatt. He is catching on faster than I thought, and if nothing else we are getting some good excercise. And trust me, it is excercise:)
Audrey and Harrison are in town, and so he recorded a lot of the class yesterday. I posted some videos for Weston on FB, and am so glad I was able to catch it. I plan on getting a video at the end of the classes to see how much he has learned. I will keep you posted:)

Sunny Days
I am happy to say we are into Spring and Sun! I am so glad we are coming into warmer days. It feels even better this year, because this is the season for Weston coming home!! We have had beautiful days lately. Wyatt and I have been taking lots of walks and doing lots of outside projects:) I am excited for planting season this year. Weston and I have a lot of plans for our yard. I do have to say I am glad he will be back to do the yard work. The snakes did me in last year:(
We have a lot of summer trips planned. We are going to spend time with both family and friends. We are going to Sanibel Island, Myrtle Beach, Indiana, Virginia, and maybe more:) We will be celebrating my Dad's 50th birthday, a friends wedding, and our 4 year anniversary! This year brings many happy days! I am so thankful.
God has really shown me a lot lately. I have really been praying about some personal issues, and he has taught me a lot about myself and who I rely on. He is the only one I can truly rely on. As humans we will be let down and we will let others down. I am thankful everyday for my relationship with Christ and that I am eternally saved.
Wyatt has been a little rascal lately. He has been making new faces. The newest is the glare I get when he doesn't like something I say. It is literally a look like "who do you think you are." It is difficult sometimes to hold back the laughs:) He is talking more and has started running. The other day I was singing "Jesus Loves Me", and "Jesus Loves the little Children", and he started "singing" along. It made my heart happy.
We are gliding right through March, and I cannot wait for April!
