First Haircut time...

JJ got his first haircut this morning by his Aunt Tricia! He did super well and looks just adorable--like a little man! Take a look...

JJ Turns 1!

JJ had is first birthday at Grandma's house! Well, technically it was a week late since we were at Kristin's house. He had a birthday cake then too! The first time he didn't want anything to do with it and this time he ate most of his piece we gave him! Aunt Dana, Uncle Nate, and cousin Mia came to hang out with us at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

The reality is setting in.

Leaving Grand Forks wasn't easy. I had to say goodbye to so many people not knowing if I would ever see them again. I guess that is what you have to deal with being a military spouse. I wonder how many times I will have to do this again in my life. I hope not too many. But I can say that I have met life long friends and will keep in touch with them. Maybe we will be stationed at the same base again someday.

The road trip to Mich went really well. Although I left my cell phone in Minneapolis at the hotel, JJ traveled like a trooper!

Kristin's mom made JJ a birthday cake on Sunday at the church potluck. He did not like the frosting sticking to his fingers and shook his hands until it was all flying off! We laughed so hard!

Hopefully today will be better outside. Yesterday it rained all day so we couldn't take a walk. We will try today.
