Home again, Home again, Jiggity Jig

Regan is coming home tomorrow!!! He has been gone for 2 weeks for work. Bless his heart for working so hard. I sure love him! I cannot wait for him to be home. 2 weeks is LONG! I couldn't have done it with out my amazing family. They helped out so much.

Having Regan gone for so long made me really appreciate having a husband, partner, best friend, etc. It made me grateful for cell phones, texting, and skype!

I tried to be really strong while he was gone and for the most part I did pretty good. I had a few bad days but it was just because I missed him so much. He truly is my best friend.

While Reg was gone Grady and I got to have lots of mommy time. We played and played. It is hard being a mom without a spouse there to help. I really have such respect for single mom's and military wives. But when you have moments like this it makes it all worth it. I was dancing around and singing for him and he loved it. He thought it was the funniest thing ever (which it probably was). I will do anything for a smile!

Also, today he was laughing so hard at me whenever I took a bite of my dinner and said yum. He thought I was so funny whenever I would take a bite. It cracked me up.

The Doublee

Grady's double chin or as Aunt Jamie likes to call it "The Doublee" pronounced doob-lee.

My First Mother's Day

I feel so blessed to be a mom. Mothers day was a little different this year than I thought it would be. Regan was out of town for work which was a huge bummer but it made me really appreciate being a mom. I found joy in doing those motherly tasks that would have been done by Regan if he was home. I made myself a yummy dish of baked oatmeal, changed Grady's blow out, put him down for his naps, fed him, changed him, took him to church, held him and comforted him when he was fussy, etc. Even though I didn't get pampered or get a break on Mother's Day, it was a still a special day because I am a mom to my little Grady man and that makes it all worth it. I really love being a mom and a wife. It is so easy when you've got such a cutie pa tutie for a son and such a handsome/sweet husband.

Regan didn't forget about Mother's Day though, even though he was gone. Oh no, he didn't. He called me and told me where I could find my present. He had hidden it in the garage before he left. And he truly got me what a really wanted! An entry way table. I love him! I am so excited. He also sent me the sweetest card. It made me cry because I miss him so much. He did good :)
