So my first born baby turned 17 today.....I am soooo old. The time has really flown by. There are days when I dont think I will make it through and that the time stands still and yet when I look back it seems like just yesterday when I would sit and dream of the day I would hold my first newborn in my arms. Looking back I almost cry and wish I had cherished it just alittle bit more....

The last morning before Tates plane left fot Iraq again.....do we look alive or what??? It was sad but not as sad as the first time. They are telling the soldiers that they will be home sometime in April.

So the first thing we did the day after Tate got home was go to Great Wolf Lodge together. Obviously from the pics this is an indoor water park. We had a ton of fun going down the slides and hanging out in the hot tubs. Look who is almost as tall as Tate now!!!!!!
