Happy Hump-Day =)

Happy Wednesday!! Not much happening on this side of the water. Went to the gym this morning for about 45 minutes, I was still sore from yesterday's workout and so I didn't want to push myself too far and not be able to re cooperate the way I needed to being that I'm the only one here with these two munchkins. The confidence I needed to start going to the gym finally hit, and I am glad, if it weren't for a friend here that told me they have childcare for just $3./hr but it's only for 3 hrs a morning during the week but it's better then nothing & it's a great way for me to get the day started. I'm proud of myself, and I will continue going at least 4 days out of the week...Caleb has had a hard time adjusting to being dropped off into someone else's care. He is a mama's boy right now, I'm sure when Daddy gets home, he'll be just like Aid and be a daddy's boy, but for now he only wants me, or Aidan for that matter. Even with Aidan being there on some days (since he is in preschool T/Th) Caleb still cries...it breaks my heart to know he is crying but at the same time he needs to get used to it. He's my baby, both of them are, and its a tearjerker when I have to leave either of them somewhere that they don't want to me. Thankfully Aidan loves preschool & doesn't mind the childcare at the gym, he just thinks it's school all over again, lol....

Well that is all that is really going on here, not much, but just thought I'd update =) Hope everyone is having a fantastic week.

We Miss You Nana <3

I cannot believe that one year ago today, we got the call that there was nothing more that the Dr's could do for Dan's grandmother, his Nana, the first person I met from his family just 8 yrs prior. She was always so lively, always out and about, busy with working at Price Chopper & she was out almost every night during the week, at one function or another for the Elks, or any of the other clubs she belonged too. We miss her so much, I miss calling her, and talking to her. Aidan remembers her, and asks about her from time to time, and I feel so bad that we were not able to go to New York and say our Goodbye's to her. She never met Caleb, he was only a few weeks old and we were getting ready to move across the United States. I know that she looks down on my boys from up above and keeps them safe. But I wish that Dan could have gotten the closure he needed from seeing her one last time.

Nana, We love you & We miss you!!! We always will!

Been a while....

I am so behind on here it is not even funny. We are almost half way done with this deployment! It's been okay. I'm not complaining, obviously I miss him & our boys miss their daddy but we know he is safe & doing his job and that when the time is right he will be back home w/us.
Aidan started preschool on August 4th, and he loves it. The first day I thought he wouldn't want me to leave but as soon as he got in the classroom it was like I didn't even exist anymore. He only goes on Tues/Thurs. from 8:45a-11:30a. It's just enough I think to get him started with school, next year when Kindergarten starts it is all day here, from 7:45a-2p and I know he will come home exhausted and ready for bed, lol. He gets two pages of homework every Thursday but he comes straight home & does it then, except this week, he had a cold and so he didn't feel like doing much of anything when he got home. But he felt better yesterday and so he did it all then!
Caleb is almost 14 months old! Where has the time gone? I remember when Dan & I were bringing him home for the first time & I was so nervous as to how Aidan would react with him home and how I'd ever be able to keep up on the laundry, cleaning & everyday chores that a house requires but I got into a routine and man, before we knew it we were moving out here to Hawaii and saying goodbye to the life we had known for the past 3 years. Caleb is still only crawling, I'm in no hurry for him to start walking. I want Dan to be able to see him take his first steps, or at least for Caleb to still be wobbly at walking when he gets home. He has 9 teeth thus far, 3 coming in, those mean ol' 12 month molars! Poor kid, I know his mouth must hurt but he just keeps on going.....

That's about all the new stuff going on here.....boring huh?! lol
