My Valentine's gift!!

Guess what my Valentine's gift will be this year???

THE BEST GIFT I COULD HAVE!!!

MY HUSBAND FOR 2 WEEKS!!!!

Sunday

Last day for my mom, so we had to take a picture at church for memories!

I have really enjoyed her here and all the help while I have been sick.

Thank you mom!

Saturday fun!

Saturday I felt better and it was my mom's last real day here, so I decided to take her to Rothenburg which is 1 hour away. The sun had finally came out for the first time since we have been back, so we had to take advantage of it. This little city is one of the last cities that has a complete city wall all around it. Below is part of the wall and you can even go up there and walk all around the city. This city is also known for its year round Christmas stores!

Market square

Sick, Sick and Very Sick!

I have been fighting something for about 2 weeks now along with Jarom. I have been getting worse and having trouble breathing. I finally got into the doctor today. She could hear me wheezing and may have bronchitis. A long with that, my eye got bad with maybe a pink eye infection. It is better now, but Jarom woke up this morning with goopy eyes. In order to see an Army doctor here right now is very hard. They are short on doctors. I knew I would not be able to get Jarom in to see a doctor for weeks. I asked if the childrens doctor could just look at Jarom's eyes. They did and give him some medication for it. I am so thankful they did that.

I went to the pharmacy to get all these mediations I needed for me and Jarom, and they had just closed for the weekend! I started to cry! I could not wait until Monday. I asked someone if they could just complete my order, as I was crying! They nicely gave me my medications. I guess crying does help sometimes! I am thankful they were so nice to me.

Da Da!!

Jarom's first words were Da Da! Since Dane has been gone, I have made a book of pictures of Daddy. I have been showing it to him a lot. Jarom will point and say Da Da! It brings tears to my eyes.

Test, Mommy or Daddy first???

I thought it would be fun to see what you think Jarom said first, Ma Ma or Da Da????

We are back in Germany!

Do you really want to know everything that happened coming back to Germany???

Well, the first 2 hour plane ride was fine. As we were waiting for my stroller, the man brought it to us broken! The wheel was completly off, 2 pieces! He acted as if sorry nothing I can do. I got SO MAD because I have a 5 hr layover with no stroller. After a very long time, I got a old used stroller someone left at the airport. I still do not know if I will get a new stroller.

Then the 8 hr ride was okay. I DID NOT sleep, but I am a live! I have been up for about 24 hrs now. We got the shuttle to take us to me car. Do you think it started????

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so thankful my mom is here with me to help me with the kids during all this.

We are home now and safe!

I am ready to go to bed.

My last day :(

Today I have been packing and doing last minute shopping before we go back to Germany. I felt like I had to hurry and go shopping since I will not be able to again for a while. I can hardly get everything in my suit case! It has been a blast being here and seeing all my family. I love them so much. Today I also got a local business to convert my camcorder into DVD to send to Dane. It is of Christmas and the kids playing. I told them it was for my husband in Iraq and when I went back to pick it up, they gave it to me for FREE! They appreciate what Dane is doing and so do I!

Monday

We decided to go to Animal Kingdom Monday. Devin has been asking to see the animals. I joked with Dane that it was a "Home school Field Trip." See Dane thinks homeschooling is wonderful, but I am not convinced yet!

Visit to my brother's house!

This weekend was my last here in Florida, so I had to go visit one of my best friends, Melody, and of course my brother!!

My brother and his kids having fun.

We went down the street to pick strawberry's. They were so sweet and good. Can you tell with Devin's face while eating it?

Thursday

You can not come to Florida without going to Disney!! Thursday we decided to go to Magic Kingdom. I could not believe that Devin had forgotten all the other times he went to Disney! So we made some new memories. Here is Devin as the new CO-PILOT of Disney's Monorail System. He was so excited even though he has done it before when he was younger.

Devin and Grandma on Dumbo ride!

Jarom playing in a play ground.

First thing we had to do was ride the train!

I almost forgot. Disney is having a WONDERFUL new sale/program for Military,

Every time we visit Grandma's house, we have to feed the ducks and swans!

We had a bomb fire in the backyard and roasted marshmellows.

Jarom's Birthday

Here is a video of all the kids singing Happy Birthday to Jarom. It was so funny! If you look closely, Jarom would laugh when they said "cha-cha-cha." It was so cute.

Sunday

Today is somewhat a sad day. Life is to short, and I try to take very opportunity to see family and friends. I have traveled many hours with 2 kids from Germany to Florida to see everyone and to share every moment with them. I guess others do not feel the same. If it wasn't for a few people here, I do not think I would come back to visit! That makes me sad :(

Jarom

Fun Pictures!
