Update on Lucas and Going Away Party.

Ok quick little update on Lucas :)

He is now RUNNING everywhere! My mom and I were just laughing about how silly it is that when kids learn to run, they want to run everywhere they go. He loves to play in the dirt and go swimming too. Brian said that I am supposed to do Mommy and Me swim classes with him, and he is supposed to be swimming by the time he gets back!

Lucas is also starting to talk quite a bit! He says Mama, Dada, Vovo (I can't do the accents so that is both grandma and grandpa in portuguese depending on how you say it), Gu (Gus), Ba (ball), Wa (water), Cheeeeesss (cheese), Du (duck), he has also said kee (keys) and caa (cat) once before but it hasn't stuck yet!

I am sad and lonely for Brian when I think about, so most of the day I try to just think of it as him working so I don't cry or get sad in front of Lucas. He can sense when I am in a bad mood and it tends to make him whiney.

Thanks to those of you who came to Brian's party and supported him. We didn't invite many people because Brian wanted it to be mainly family. Here are some pictures of the party. I swear Lucas was clean when I got to Pine Valley, but by the time we left he was FILTHY!







Brian update

Ok I know that I have been a major slacker when it comes to updating our blog. Things have been sooo crazy here with getting Brian ready to leave and now I have family coming from Brazil and we have been going crazy trying to make room in the house to house them. Anyway, I haven't heard from Brian yet sadly...but I do have his mailing address. He can only get letters and before he left he said that he probably won't have much time to write so he will probably only respond to me.

Basic Military Training

Well yesterday morning Brian left for Basic! 55 days and counting...

I was able to text him while he was in the airport and doing some paperwork in Las Vegas but no other news than that. I just wanted to make sure that I stay up to date on posting every time I hear any news.

Thanks for all your support!
