Pickles, Deployment, and Trips

We are on our way to another month without Daddy. It isn't something I enjoy, but I know he has to do it. Hopefully one day we will be able to take a long vacation and go somewhere amazing. Just us.

I was actually thinking about your first birthday. It is a week before Labor Day - maybe we can go camping? I remember going when I was younger and I loved it so much. I want you to love the outdoors and to experience as much as you can.

This makes me think of you and food. You try it all and you seem to love it all. You may make a face at first but you keep on. This was so with PICKLES. Daddy hates them. I love them. You enjoyed them. Your faces were so cute. You would make this look like what?! then you would put it back in your mouth and keep going. It was priceless.

Anyway, since your Daddy is going to leave I was thinking of us taking a trip to Tahoka for a weekend. I feel like we need to go and I truly miss everyone there. Who knows maybe this is God's plan and something amazing is waiting for us. I am just worried about the 6 hour drive. You are great in the car for a while, then you want out. Kinda like being held. You are fine until you want to walk and move. Then by George you better let her go!!! However, I think if we were to leave late at night you would probably sleep most the way. So--- that is the plan.

I can't think of much more that has happened. Just know that I love you unconditionally and am so blessed to be your momma. Can't wait to hear your first word, see you crawl, walk...etc. Love you Eddi Bear.
