What a GREAT day!

Things have been pretty busy around here the past few weeks. Not in a bad way. More or less we've managed to stay so busy that the days have run together but flown by. I've been working around the house trying to get things done & even attempted to plant a little in the back (semi-failed attempt, but that's another post). I've also put a ton of projects on my plate. Tootie was sick the past week. Poor guy!

I started today off full of excited nerves. The kids & I had or 1st video teleconference (VTC) with the Pilot. It was so wonderful to see him. Last deployment there was only 1 VTC & we were out of town for it. It sounds like they are going to try to do VTC's once a month. The Pilot is doing good. He's doing a lot of flying. It was weird at first. You are in a conference room with 2 LARGE tv's. You see your SO on 1 & you are on the other. Why do you even need to see yourself?! We got to talk for 10 minutes. The 10 minutes flew by. Princess babbled a little, showed daddy what a big girl she is getting to be & even tried to eat the microphone a few times. Tootie wasn't too sure what to make of the situation for the first 8 minutes. He slowly started talking just in time to say good bye. I think next time will go over better now that he knows what was going on.

I can't believe Princess will be 10 months in a couple days!! 34% done, another week flew by & the month will be over before we know it. Hope the next few months fly by just as fast.
