This post is all over the place.....These past few weeks ive been packing, selling, giving away some of our stuff! We had a garage sale made a little over $200! There is a huge baby and home consignment sale coming up that I'm putting baby stuff in. We have secured our storage, paid the 1st month and sold Derek's other motorcycle(he had 2)! I'm so glad I will barely have to take anything to Dallas, very fortunate to have a fully furnished house, kitchen items and all! I will be taking my kitchen aid mixer though!
Dreycin is in the "I can do it my own self" stage! He is loving music class and I hear him singing most of the day, which I absolutely love! He likes to sing Take me out to the ball game and The more we get together! We also started a mommy & me Zumba class, which is awesome bc not only does he get rhythm but this mama gets a workout too!! I was sweattttty after the last 2 week's 45 min class!!! Dreycin asks to go bowling every weekend, its one of his favorite activities to do! This weekend we went bowling on base and did the blacklight bowling 1 game & it was $6! Bronson bowled (rolled) his first ball and bowled a strike!! Guess its in the genes! We have a sitter coming 2-3x a week right now, mostly the days I have yoga (bc I get really frustrated when Derek forgets or has to work late) and to help out Friday mornings with the kids & B at Zumba bc he shakes his booty but isn't able to move around very much. Dreycin really took a liking to her quick & B doesn't cry when I leave! B has been sleeping in his crib in his room for a little over 2 weeks! He sleeps thru the night most nights but this week he has woken up 2x bc he has two bottom teeth coming in! Can't believe my baby B will be 1 in 1 month! He is waving hi, giving slobbery wet kisses, trying to run.....oh yes he is walking! It's been busier having two very active mobile boys! Bronson is giving high 5's, throwing rolling and kicking balls, and messing up any activity that his older brother is doing! And that boy can put down some food! He eats everything now except dairy, egg, and meats. He loves all fruits, and in the last week has tried homemade pizza and spaghetti squash which both were big hits! Tonight he even tried some yuca I made! He really likes to take the fork or spoon and fee himself now, along with making a mess at every meal time!
We are heading to Gulfport for 7 days this coming weekend to spend some time with my dads sister & her family, we usually try to get together at least a couple times during the year and especially now that Derek is being deployed. I can't wait to relax, shop, eat, and did I mention relax ;)
Now that the deployment is less than two months away I am having alot of different mixed emotions. One for sure is that I know this is the most ideal and safest deployment we could ask for as a military family. Derek will never have to leave the base and for that reason I know in my heart I will not worry like the last deployment. I know this will be hard on my boys and I hope being around their grandparents will help ease the pain of the father being gone and not understanding. I pray for lots of patience because who knows how hard this will really be with 2 kids. I am happy that the 6mos I will be in Dallas we will be busy taking so many educational trips to the zoos, aquariums, bouncy house places, music classes, soccer classes, gymnastics classes.....you name it we will prob try it! And I'm happy that my parents, my friends and family and Derek's family will get to know the boys more, get the quality time that they dont get to have since we have always lived so far away. I am sad to leave our house on base but not sad to leave gnat & allergy filled Georgia! I'm still undecided on where we will live when Derek returns from deployment. I could care less if we are in a 1 bdrm apt as long as we are together again ;)
