It has been several months since our last posting and as usual, a lot has happened! We celebrated Reid's first birthday a few weeks ago. The year went by incredibly fast and it is fun seeing how his personality is unfolding. He isn't walking yet, but I think he may be close. He is a great climber and already eats more than his sisters!
Meredith and Addie are also growing too quickly. They spend most of their time in leotards and tu-tu's these days-- to the grocery store, playdates, even while chasing frogs at the pond!
Probably the biggest change, which most of you are aware of, is that Rob was activated via the IRR(Individual Ready Reserves), and left in July to begin a 400 day deployment to Iraq. Right now he is doing refresher training in Arizona, but we should know his actual departure date for Iraq soon. I'll be sure to send his address when we have one. The goodbyes were extremely sad and we already feel like he has been gone way to long.
I hope you all are enjoying the last few weeks of summer!
