Don't you just love surprises?? I do. Okay, I love GOOD surprises. Finding a diaper blow-out only AFTER getting baby out of a car seat - not so great. Getting to see the hubby early - SOOO Great!
Last week, we all got a wonderful surprise. It went something like this. Around 4 the boys were outside playing with their neighbor friend, I came in to grab the monitor and the phone rang, the number on it was one that made my heart go pitter-patter (the "boat"). I picked up and sure enough it was my honey.
Me: Hello?
Hubs: Hi! What are you doing??
Me: (squealing) YOU'RE HOME!!?!?!?!
Hubs: Yep, got in today.
Me: But the house isn't clean... (yes folks this is what I said - but in my head I was thinking, "at least I shaved my legs today...")
Hubs: (joking) Oh...well I don't have to come ...
Me: NO...COME HOME!!!! We can't wait to see you!! ...
It goes on from there but you get the idea. There is nothing like homecoming - no matter how long he has been away. The boys and I are just bursting with happiness to have him here. What a blessing. We've had him home for about a week now, and are just giddy. We really haven't spent any family time together since he left after baby G was born, so we are soaking up every precious second we can. Absolute Bliss.
It never ceases to amaze me that for as predictable as the Navy can be, it can also be just as unpredictable. However, when it's a change like that...I'll take it every time.

Fabulous Fours
I know I just did a post for our little baby G, but we also had another very important milestone last week. My "little" munchkin turned FOUR last week. I can hardly believe it. Yesterday he was just a little guy, next thing I know he'll be off to college...okay maybe not that fast, but it sure feels like it.
Little man got not one but two birthday celebrations. A "mini" party on his actual birthday and another one with all sorts of family a few days later. He got spoiled with lots of gifts from his adoring fans.
He also may have spent the later half of the party in his new Cars 2 jammies. It sure it good to be the birthday boy.
It was great to see all the family, even if it did mean putting over 2000 miles on Roxie (our Routan) it was worth every single one. I'm not going to go into it too much because my next post will be about our adventures and I wouldn't want to spoil all the fun now would I??
We will have one more mini-celebration when the hubs gets back, but really that will just be an excuse for me to bake (read: eat) some more cake. Hey, at least I'm honest.
So, to my birthday boy, Happy BIRTHDAY!! We just love you so very much. I still can't believe how much he has grown over the year. The time really does just fly by...

3rd month-aversary
I am WAY behind on posting, and have lots of fun updates. But first, our little girl is now three months - or was on the 28th of June - so I want to post her updates first.
Little baby G, here is what you have been up-to this month. You had a VERY busy month. You took your first road trip over memorial day weekend to go visit daddy, then you turned around and did it again two weeks later for our big move. You now live in your second house, and are no longer a resident of CT! You did an amazing job with both trips, you're quite a trooper. You have your own room now. It's still full of boxes, but mama's getting there. I'll get them unpacked before your crawling - I hope!
You are still sleeping through the night, you can't imagine how happy this makes mama! You're trying VERY hard to roll over, you can get up onto your side, but still can't quite make that final flip over. I'm not sure what you're weighing in at these days, but you are in size 3-6 month clothes, and wear a size 2 diaper.
You are the HAPPIEST baby. You smile at anyone who will talk to you - it's the most adorable smile in the world. You love your bath time and being outside.
You are learning all sorts of new sounds and love to "talk" to me and your brothers. You also laugh out loud which is pretty stinkin' adorable. It's amazing how fast your growing, changing and learning. We can't wait to see what new tricks you come up with this month, we love you to the moon and back sweet baby girl!!
