I don't know what happend but here are the picture i was talking about... This is our trip to the pumkin patch....Owen didn't want to play in the car..... Hallie getting her face painted.... Aunt sara and Owen feeding the animals, my little fireman, and here is a picture of daniel at work also....
Okay this is for all you pushy people out there...and you know who you are ;) i am finally updating my blog..... It seems every time i sat down to write, something always came up. No more excuses here i am!!!
Things are going well right now, i think it is safe to say we are FINALLY settled in Cali. It took us awhile. but we have a "normal" routine now (some what). Owen finally started up with speech again. It took us awhile to get that going. I was hoping is was going to be alot smoother of a transition, but we had to basically start all over. Which i don't understand, because i thought an IFSP was interchangeable from state to state. Whatever to late now it's done. I really like this program that he is in, they come out to the house M-F 8am-10am they have 2 different girls that come out one M,W,F the other T&TH . I hate to say it but i really don't think he likes the girl that comes M,W,F i'm not sure what i should do about it. he doesn't "hate" her but i really don't think he does as well with her. I'm thinking about asking to switch them if at all possible but I don't know.... It is just until he gets into the center that we are on a waiting list for. He can't get in there until Jan or Feb. Any enough about speech. He is doing REALLY well though.
Owen and I got a Disney land pass (just one pass he doesn't need one yet) we love going with Sara and Hallie to Disneyland. I think Owen and Hallie have become pretty good friends, as good as a 1&2 year lold can be. She calls him Oeo it's really cute.
Daniel is doing well, as well as he can be I guess. He can't wait to go out to sea and get this all done with. I think him being is WA feels like it is dragging out the deployment. We get to see him in 4 days, he will be home for Christmas for 10 day so I can not wait for that!!!! I can't wait until he is out of the navy and we can be a "full time" family. Not that going into the navy is a bad thing but we are both ready to move on.
As for me I've been going to school to become a dental assistant. I LOVE it!!!! I think I have found something I am actually pretty good at. I know it sounds funny that being a dental assistant is something that i might be good at but i really enjoy it. i'm catching on pretty quick and i'm having fun doing it. I think that once we are done having kids i might go back to school to become a hygenist. They make really good money and it's easy to set your own hours. so it would be easy to work while the kids are at school. anyway just a thought. i really am enjoying going to school. i miss owen every night while he is at nana's house... but i actually think he enjoys the time away from me. is that sad to say? it's only 3 hours before he goes to bed, but i really do miss him. Any way that is the up date for now i hope that was good enough for you all! ;)
Here are a few pictures from a little while ago..... enjoy! :)
Here are some pictures from a day at the park ....Please excuse Owen's Snotty nose. :) When I look at these pictures it reminds me just how fast Owen is growing up. It makes me kinda sad but yet excited. He is doing so well with his speech therapy. When we move to California in 3 weeks I hope and pray that he continues to do well. He is so used to the preschool and the people. I hope he doesn't back track at all. I'm sure it will be fine though.
Time is getting close until we move! I'm finally telling people so I think it is now starting to hit me that we are actually leaving. I can't wait It's funny though, I didn't think I would miss WA at all, but now when we go out places I find my self thinking "this is the last time we will...." We have had a lot of great memories here and met a lot of wonderful people. I know Owen is going to miss being around his Aunt Becca and Uncle Robert, he is really close to them but I'm glad that now he is going to get to know all of his other Aunt's and Uncles.... yep life is very close to changing drastically but I am very excited.
I am so Nervous!!!! Have you ever been so nervous yet so excited about something at the same time!!!! It seems like all I can think about these days is how our life as a family is (in a month from tomorrow) going to so drastically change! We will be moving home to Huntington Beach which don't get me wrong I couldn't be happier about....But that means less of Daniel, I don't know if I'm ready for that, no I take that back I KNOW I'm not ready for that. Then again is anyone ever really ready to spend 9 months with out the person they love? I've done this time and time again, but never for this long. And I'm so worried about how Owen is going to take it.... Will he remember Daniel after not seeing him for that long? Will it put a strain on there relationship for the rest of their lives? I know I'm probably over reacting but I can't help but wonder. I know after these last 10 months in the Navy we will have the rest of our lives together... But then that's something else to think about....As hard as it has been being away from Daniel so often, we have been so taken care of in the Navy. Not really having to worry about anything. We always knew even when money was tight that there would be a pay check coming soon,we wouldn't have to worry about if Owen got sick or if one of us was sick, we always had some where to go. But now what? We have all of these plans but can we really do what we set out minds to do? Can we make it? I know through Faith and prayer anything is possible.... But it is still nerve racking knowing that in a month our lives will never be the same... Not that it is a bad thing because I know that Heavenly Father has so much in store for us.... It's the not knowing that's just a little scary. Sorry if you cant tell I have a lot on my mind ugh!
Some Pictures of the last time Daniel came home from being out to sea..... Owen was really excited. When He realized it was Daniel Walking towards us he started clapping his hands yelling "daddy" over and over again. Then when Daniel walked up Owen leapt into his arms and hugged him around his neck and put his head on his shoulder! I tried to take Owen from him and he just held on to Daniel tighter. Don't tell Daniel I said this but he was close to tears!!!! It was the cutest thing I had ever seen, especially since Daniel was so worried about Owen forgetting him.... It's moments like these that are just amazing!
