Forgive me. This may have been the longest hiatus from blogging I've ever taken. The summer was such fun!
Mike was gone for the whole month of August. Our baby girl turned 2 during that time, so we decided to travel west to share Avery's birthday fun with Daddy. He was in Yuma for training, which happens to be the home of our dear friends, the Newbolds. We were so excited to see them. Sarah's husband flies the Harrier also and was deployed at the time. We enjoyed every minute of our visit and of course the very few minutes we had with Daddy each day when he could get away from work. It went by way too fast. The girls played and played, and Sarah and I had the best time catching up, laughing and just enjoying each others' company. Our friend Lindsey and her son Grant joined us a couple of the days. They invited us to their house as well, which was so much fun! We went swimming and had the best appetizers and margaritas thanks to Lindsey who is a master at creating all things delicious! I'm sad we didn't get a picture with them. :( Mike's brother, Bill, and his wife, Holly, also live in Yuma. We loved being able to spend time with them at their beautiful house and were happy they could come to Avery's birthday party. Sarah, a million thank yous for having us!!! Miss you!
