One week!

One week till we're home!! One week till we leave Paul, boo! Tyler is busy cleaning his motorcycle wheel with his sock, what a funny guy. We had family portraits made yesterday! Tyler was a pro of course, he smiled for every picture except for one. Paul is naturally photogenic. But everyone knows me! I ruined each picture, lol. Oh well. I'll post them on here when they get to us. It will be mid-Sept by then though. Have a great day everyone!

He also wore shoes for the very first time today!

Tyler is so funny!

This morning around 4 am, I heard a little squeek but didn't think much of it, then I heard it again only louder so I opened my eyes and there stood tiny little Tyler in his crib, completely pulled up, smiling ear to ear so excited to see his mommy waking up. He is SO adorable. I'm the luckiest Mama in the world.

Update on me. (Christy)

So I'm sure some of you don't even know that I've been really involved in digital scrapbooking lately. It's just like paper scrapping, but all your papers, embellishments, and pictures are all on the computer. It's nice because you never have to throw anything away, and anything you buy (or make) can be used over and over and over again! And in the end there's no mess to clean up! Anyway, it started with me being the buyer, and boy did I buy! I have about 300 kits already, half were freebies and the other half I've paid for. Over the past couple of months I've been designing my own scrap kits and beginning next Monday I'll be selling them in a scrap store online. You can see some of what I'm selling over at my scrap blog. And if you're interested in learning how to digi-scrap let me know! I'd be happy to teach you in person if you live back home, or on online if you don't! Wish me luck!

Update on us

Hey everyone! Just wanted to update real fast while I have a minute. Paul and his friends are on their way now to the storage unit here in Minot to put half of our belongings there. The rest will probably stay here until Todd gets here. In case you didn't know, he's flying in on September 3 and then him, me and Tyler are driving back to NC.

Tyler is doing great. He cut his second tooth this morning! Now he's got two pearly whites that shine through when he grins, it's so adorable. I know he's proud of them too because he smiles a lot now. Like, "Hey, look at these!" He's having a blast with his Daddy. He has no idea that Paul's leaving us soon. We went out to dinner last night and there was a one year little girl, we both couldn't believe that's how big Tyler will be when Paul gets home from Guam.

Tyler can crawl, sit up alone, feed himself, and pull himself up on everything. He gets all excited when he pulls himself up, I know it makes him feel like a big boy. I guess he is becoming a big boy :( If I had my way he'd stay this sweet an innocent forever.

After we leave, Paul will have two weeks left here in Minot before they head out. Then he'll be gone until late Feb 2009. Since his enlistment is up that summer, he's not going to come home to NC until then. He'll actually be moving back to NC in April 2009...because he's saved up over 60 days of leave, they have to let him out early with pay!

Well, that's about all that going on this way! Oh, for those of you who were waiting for find out if I am pregnant again or not...

I'm NOT!

I was almost a whole month late. What a scare!

I have new pictures to post and I'll post them tonight. I don't know how to put the memory card into this new laptop and I have to have Paul show me how! Talk to you soon!
