Noah

I think Noah is having the hardest time so far with this deployment. Today he told me that we lost our first Daddy and now we have to get a new one. Hmm...I told him No, I like the one we have. How about we just wait for him to get home from Iraq? And Noah thought that was "cool" (his new favorite word). So then this morning while I am encouraging Noah to hurry and get dressed for preschool he informs me that he will hurry so he can be dressed before Jason gets home from exercising. And he always says his prayers "thank you that Daddy can be safe if Iraq, and thank you that he can home home soon". I guess the poor kid is going to be waiting for a while!

The Great Wolf Lodge

A few weeks before Jason deployed we made it a priority to visit the Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City. It is an indoor water park that poses as a hotel and a friend here in Colorado highly recommended it. And let me tell you...it was worth every penny and even the NINE HOUR drive in the car!
