A Big Thanks To Everyone!

Dear Friends and Family,

I sit here this morning (Saturday) and am relieved that it is supposed to be the last Saturday that Scott has to work 6 day weeks on this test project. I have had other names for it such as "evil" and "nefarious" but only when I am really frustrated! :)

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has helped, visited, and called these last 6 months! While we are very grateful for Scott to be working, and not to be working in the military (such that he does come home every night eventually), it has nonetheless been a difficult and trying time for us. I have had some very lonely and exhausting times either wondering when he would get home, or trying to find a way to pass the time on the weekend when Scott was not around. I know it has also been hard on Scott to not be able to spend more than 15 minutes with Jack on some weeknights.

I especially want to thank Mom and Dad for moving our Skype sessions to Saturday mornings because it helped the day go by! Also I want to especially thank Uncle John for taking time out of his weekends to drive down to have lunch with Jack and I and help me at the grocery store every few weeks. It made our lives so much easier and allowed Scott to spend time playing with Jack vice pushing him around the grocery store!!

We cannot know when the next big project will come along, but we are comforted knowing that you folks are there for us and support us!

Love,
Dena, Scott, and Jack

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
