Hope everyone is having a great summer so far! We sure are!! We spend some time in the kiddie pool outside, hanging out with friends, shopping, etc. We have been to Legoland (on July 4th) with great friends – we really had a blast.

Addison weighed 7 1/2 pounds at her 6 week checkup. She will be 8 months old this Friday, where does the time go? The doctor said she is doing GREAT! She is sleeping through the night most nights now, has been for about a week. She goes to bed around 11pm and doesn’t get up until between 6-7am. That is certainly a relief! I FINALLY have all 4 kids sleeping through the night. You’d think that would mean I was sleeping well myself – but I keep waking up still making sure everyone is okay. Maybe once Rob gets home I’ll be able to sleep peacefully.

Speaking of Rob returning, he’s already been out there over 5 months of his 7 month deployment, so he’s getting close to coming home. We can’t wait to have Rob home with us, rejoining our family will be very awesome for everyone! The kids miss their daddy greatly, and have grown so much since he’s been going that he won’t believe how grown they are when he gets back. And of course meeting Addi for the first time will be amazing! If you remember, Damian was also born while Rob was in Iraq – and he met him for the first time around 5 months old. Doesn’t seem quite fair that Rob got to miss the first few months of 2 of his 4 children… waking up every 2 hours, pooping every hour… he sure missed the fun stuff!

I’ve added a bunch of new photos over the last few months, so be sure to check them out.
