Cam's home

Well Cameron gave me a huge surprise last week when he called me from Haiti to tell me he would be on a plane the next day to come home. I was shocked and very excited. He got the job in San Antonio so that was why they decided to send hime home 2 weeks early. I was very hesistent about moving only because I hate leaving family. It's a great job opportunity for him and I really do not like Fayetteville. North Carolina will always be home for me though. I have really realized that with all of the traveling I have done in the past couple of years. I am a little nervous about all of the traveling that Cam will be doing with this new job. Having him gone for 3 months to Haiti was hard. It is only a 12 month contract so if we hate it I guess we can leave. He is supposed to get his orders on Friday that tell us when to move. I am really dreading that 19 hour drive out to Texas!! We are selling the Taurus before we leave so we can ride together out there. That will make it a lot easier especially since Liam is still a baby. Speaking of which I need to get his pictures done this week. He will be 8 months old soon and I was supposed to do them a month ago. The reason why I waited was because he just now learned how to sit up. I wanted him to able to have the same picture as Landon when he was a baby. So I am still making all of his baby food homemade. He really does well on it. He only breaks out when he eats plums. Landon has been doing great now that Cameron is back home. He went through a really angry phase. Not good! I am so glad to see him happy now. He can be so sweet. He tells me a hundred times a day how much he loves me with hugs to go with it. I love how affectionate he is.

Cameron will finally be coming home

Thank goodness, we have a date for redeployment! May 1st he should be back from Haiti. That's about 3 weeks from now. I am trying to fill my days with lots of things to do to make time go by really fast. Lately that hasn't been to hard because the boys are exhausting. I love them so much and everything I do is so worth it but it doesn't make it any less tiring. I think I feel a little over whelmed because I am doing it all by myself. Not having Cam here has been hard. I will be so glad when he comes home and things are back to normal. So I have started making my own baby food. Liam loves it. All of the rashes that he got when he ate the Gerber food went away. Right now in the freezer I have plums, bananas, green beans, carrots, and sweet potatoes. He finally knows how to eat from a spoon now too. That took a little longer than I thought it would. He has a doctors a appointment on Monday and I can't wait to see how much he has grown. He is wearing all 18 month clothes and he just turned 7 months old today. My sweet baby, I wish he could stay little forever. I love snuggle time with him. Everyday I make sure that I have quiet time with him and rock him in his nursery. He loves it when I sing and smiles away. I cherish those sweet moments. He still doesn't have any teeth. Craziness! I thought for sure they would have come in by now. By I have to say I love that toothless smile! Well Landon has said some crazy things this week. He put on Cam's Army knee pads with goggles and held a gun and fell asleep on my bed. When I woke him the only way I could get him to take it off was to call him soldier Landon. He then replied" Aye aye Captain Mommy!" He says the silliest things!
