the end of my delinquence

hello everybody - contrary to popular guesses...i havent ACTUALLY fallen off the face of the earth...just been busy...actually...not really...we could probably use the word "lazy" instead...just this one time. anywhooo.. we've had a fairly uneventful last two weeks (i cannot believe it's been two weeks since i updated here, but my life seems to go by really fast these days...with all my laziness!)

We did find out that TJ was assigned to Infantry as his specialty - there are a few mixed feelings about this decision...but most of them are based on downright reluctance to have to go through the officer's school of infantry which is notorious for being very difficult...but other than that, i think we can call it a good outcome. This is, in fact, what TJ has dreamed about doing as long as I have known him...I'm excited that, essentially, his dreams are coming true...how many people can say that?!?! This also means that we will be here in VA a while longer...with the next move coming early spring next year...destination still TBA...

Been playing softball for a church team...it's a little different from the powerhouse of The Horn - so that has been a challenge...I am currently sporting a large bruise on my thigh from a ground ball that i didnt field very well....but, it helps pass the time i guess...we got rained out last night and tonight..which was good since yesterday was the season premier of my addiction - Grey's Anatomy... let me tell you what...i'm glad i was home to watch...since the previews were, let's call it, misleading...but it turned out to be a good thing...

I am preparing for my first visit home to KY - i know this might seem funny but TJ and I have come to the consensus that somewhere along the way, Campbellsville, KY became HOME to us...we have our family's homes too...but Cville is where it's at...mostly for me, it's where Courtney is at...so Connor and I are flying home for a week...TJ will drive in for the long weekend due to Columbus day and then we will all drive back (11 hours yikes!!) but it will be so good to get home and see all of our "family" in Cville...only wish that our real families were closer so we could apply the one stop shop method! Connor is very excited to see his Aunt Toot (courtney..) as is Mommy!

Speaking of Connor - the little bugger is in LOVE with the jumperoo we got him last weekend...he spends hours in that thing head-banging away...at least if he ends up slightly brain damaged, we'll know he had fun doing it! He's also trying to crawl...today was up on hands and knees rocking back and forth...Watch out world, Connor is going mobile!! time to start babyproofing the house...fun fun! we're also in the process of buying a new car seat since the little lug is quickly outgrowing the infant seat...the JOYS and PAINS ($$$$$$$) of motherhood! it all is going so fast! pretty soon he'll be all grown up...i can't hardly believe he's closing in on 6 months~ ok..well i think that's it on the updates...all is well..here are this week's pics of the tot...enjoy!

Can't believe he has all those teeth! That is exciting. Hope your trip to KY was great.
