A Post for Jim

Tonight I laid on the couch listening to Chris Rice on Pandora Radio, snuggled close to Margo, while petting Carolina. It was a night made for you and you are SO deeply missed! Counting the heartbeats until my heart can be whole again! I love you Honey!

Your sleeping beauties are ready for their Knight in Shining Armor to come home!

Back to Sewing

Since we've moved from Aiken I haven't gotten out any of my craft gear! So I thought it was high time to make something and had an adorable pattern that I wanted to try out. I LOVE this little dress for Margo. She tried it on this evening and it fits great too! I'll have to upload more pics of her in it! It took me four days to figure out the pattern and construct everything, but the excited, giddy face of my four year old as she saw it, tried it on, and twirled around to her hearts content was priceless! :)

Ballet and a Picnic

We have friends who are in the same ballet class as Margo and so after class we went to one of the parks on post for a picnic lunch! It was fun playing and hanging out together! :)

Practicing her steps!

Margo learning to point.

Beautiful day for the playground!

Crazy hair from the slide!

And going up backwards! :)

The Countdown Begins

So the countdown has begun for when Daddy comes home and we have begun getting into gear!

Helping pack hygiene kits for the single soldiers at Daddy's squadron headquarters building.

Crafting her paper chain that Daddy sent to her!

Making sure that glue makes those links hold!

We had fun counting out the approximate days left and can't wait until we get to hold our soldier in our arms!

Jazz and Tap

Margo got to attend a Jazz, Ballet, and Tap class at the studio that she takes from. We were watching one of Margo's friends and had to take her to ballet and since the teacher knows Margo she let her join in. Good thing we brought all of Margo's gear - including play tap shoes that Grandma gave her! ;)
