I'm going to do BETTER...

I know I promised all of you back home to Blog atleast every other day with pictures and things of Gage and the house and all ....and I PROMISE I will! Things have just been non-stop since we got back to Florida. We had way more to unpack and organize than I realized. And I didn't want to post pictures of the apartment with it being such a mess. Things are finally getting in order and we are in a pretty good routine. Ted is back at work, which has been pretty easy and laid back so far. We are super happy he is working days now. Before his deployment he was always either on nights (like 3pm-12am, I think) or mids (12am-7am)...something along those lines. But it's so much better with him on days and us having Gage. I have been so busy with the apartment, making a MILLION appointments and getting everything transferred back over to Jax. I felt like I was on the phone ALL day Friday calling Doctors, Tricare, DMV and anything else you could possibly think of....But I think I've got everything scheduled and ready!

Gage will be 4 months in on the 19th (tuesday). WHERE DOES THE TIME AGO?!?!?! It just doesn't seem real to me that he can already be 4 months old!!! He is SUCH a happy baby! I know all moms talk about how great their children are, but we got lucky with this guy! He is always smiling at everyone that even looks his way.... We can't go anywhere without people stopping us and asking about him. And I do have to say I get SOO excited when people tell me he has my smile and happiness! :) That's probably the one thing I've been complimented on most my whole life. I have had numerous people tell me that no matter how bad of a day they have had, when they are around me and see me smile all the time that they can't help but be happy...and THAT makes me happy! I don't go around with a fake smile on my face all the time or anything, i guess it's just something that I do. I don't really realize that I am most of the time. So I'm hoping Gage can keep that trait and always try to look on the bright side of things. He is due for his 4 month well-child appointment Tuesday, which would mean lots of shots :( ... But we had to schedule it for the following Tuesday because we will be in DISNEY WORLD from Monday-Sunday!!! I am so super excited!! We are getting to stay at one of the best resorts there for FREEEEE. The USO called Ted's squadron and told the chiefs to pick someone deserving, so all of the Chiefs picked someone and then they voted on Ted out of those. Now I can't help but be proud when theres a couple hundred people in his squadron! We have a 4-day pass to whichever 4 parks we choose to go to. We obviously won't be riding any rollercoasters or anything but it will still be great to walk around and let Gage enjoy all of the bright colors and the fireworks everynight! The weather is supposed to be in the 70's all week, so perfect walking weather. Our resort is the Disney Boardwalk resort and it is beautiful in the pictures! But we are excited and are in need of a little family vacation with just the 3 of us... I am going to miss my pup pups though :( They are due for their annual shots so we take them to the vet early monday Morning and then they will board them until that following Monday :( They are my babies too so I hate having to leave them, but the Resort doesn't allow pets.

My daddy,brother, sister-n-law and 2 sweet little nephews are coming to visit March 16th-21st!! I can't wait, I am SOOO excited! It will be Kim's spring break so I'm sure she will be super glad to get away by that time! And the boys have never been to the beach so we plan to spend some time there and also make a day down in Orlando and either go back to Disney or Sea World. I am hoping we have some other visitors this summer.....(DANIN,LINDSEY,ASHLEY &MATT, BRITT... :) haha Ashley, Lindsey and Britt are already kinda making plans but I just threw Danin's name in there because I want her too! haha.

I will try and get some pictures up late tonight, but if not then I will tomorrow. I will be M.I.A again next week, but once we return I will have lots of pictures and stories I'm sure...

Until then.... To all my TEXANS :: We love and miss ya'll SOOOOOOOO much, and can't wait to get back home to see ya'll!!!
