Up:
- So glad Kennedy is such a good eater! I pretty much give she and Jackson the same food now and no lie, she eats more than Jackson does. Plus, she is always open to trying new things. She'll let you know if she isn't a fan, but she will always give it a try. She ate an onion ring today and liked it! That's my girl. I'm currently trying to switch her over to milk. It's going pretty good so far, but I don't think she's quite ready to completely give up her formula.
- Mike got a new computer and now our family is completely MAC addicted! He got the same computer I have, just the newer model. His PC would barely even turn on and with a deployment coming up next year, we knew he needed a reliable computer to communicate with us. While MAC products are definitely more expensive, they are totally worth it because they last and hold up over time. We also got this really cool time capsule thing that backs up our computers wirelessly and automatically!
- Our sister squadron, The 391st Tigers, are coming home from deployment. Homecomings always make me sappy! So happy for those ladies that they are getting their men back!
Down:
- Mike is leaving us again on Friday for a little over 2 weeks. I'm already super bummed because he's really not going to be around much of October at all. The up side to all this is that after being in the military ~7 years, I've finally decided that I'm not going to let his schedule dominate our lives. I postpone so many things until Mike is home to enjoy them with us, but the truth is he's always so exhausted from work that he doesn't really enjoy them like I think he will or we don't ever end up doing what we plan to do. Therefore, I'm just going to start doing stuff with the kids on my own or with other ladies. I can't just wait around for a 'good time' and I really can't believe it's taken me this long to figure that out! Hopefully this will be better for the kids too 'cause I feel like ultimately they are the ones who suffer. We'll still do as much stuff with Mike as we can when he's around, but he totally understands that his schedule is crazy.
- Potty training is still hit or miss these days. Jackson does so well when I expect him not to and then has his accidents when we are at home. I don't understand at all, but we keep trying and hopefully it will just get better over time.
I love Fall because it is the only season that Pumpkin Head Ale is made! Back when Mike and I lived in Pensacola we always used to go to this bar called Brew's Brothers and during the fall they carried Pumpkin Head Ale. Our friend Phil is really the one that began our addiction and we would all go watch Texas Tech play and split pitchers of this oh-so-amazing beer! It is really hard to get out this way because it's brewed in Maine, but our friend Brent found it in Boise and bought every case they had (to share with us of course)! If you can find it, run don't walk to try it because it is seriously delicious!
