finally have a chance..

hey everybody! incase you were wondering...we made it back to VA just fine! it was a long haul..and a long time to be gone, but we were very glad we got to see so many people. To those of you we may have missed, we'll try to catch you next time! Since we've been home, things havent slowed down. Connor has already figured out how to walk with the push along walker that he got for Christmas...so he is tearing up the house..and of course, falling and bumping various body parts..but he's having a great time. We used all of our Christmas gift money to purchase a video camera..and are already enjoying documenting some of Connor's typical fun things to do..i'll see if i can figure out how to post some of them here! Our best friends here at Quantico are moving this weekend...so it begins, this life of making and leaving friends, but I wouldnt change it for the world...we will miss the babysitting..but mostly we'll miss the friendship we've created with them! Good luck to Trista and Andy as they head to 29 Palms in CA, by way of Ft.Knox for tank school on the way! in other news..for those of you who havent heard...TJ and I are expecting our second child in June. We have kept it a secret for a while - i'm already 15 weeks (out of 40) - because we wanted to suprise his family for Christmas..and boy did we do just that! it was great! This baby was a suprise to us...at least the timing, but sometimes I guess God just can't wait to send more blessings...so we are looking forward to this child with excitement! ok..here's my favorite pics from our trip..and maybe a video..i'll try it out! haha..
