Sometimes I forget

It was 11pm last night, I was in bed reading trying to get my tired to turn into sleepy and Geoff was dozing off when I heard the distinct sound of bugles. The base has a speaker system that plays every morning at 6am and every evening at 5 when the flag is flown and taken down respectively. It happens so often then you can sometimes tune it out, much like the train that passes behind our neighborhood but last night was different.
I just had to know what was going on and shook Geoff. "Why are they playing Taps at 11pm?" Geoff answered through the 'why did you just wake me up haze' "They brought a body back from 1st Cavalry's unit today, so they are probably moving him".
Its sometimes easy to forget that the uniforms you see swarming on base actually mean something. Its easy to focus on the joy of Geoff not being deployed for a while instead of the families who are here without their loved ones who jump everytime the phone rings. Please keep Staff Sgt. Christopher Kiernan, his family and all of the deployed soldiers in your prayers!

Meet Squiget

Geoff and I had a wonderful experience today! We got to SEE our baby and it was truely AMAZING! We had a 3D session this morning and got to see Squiget's face and cute ears and all finger and toes (and no we did not find out the sex~) The baby was pretty tired through out the session but we got a wave or two with the hand that is by his/her face and some yawns so here is a link to a short slide show of the session: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8BZMmzJw5aNLS&notag=1

Its not all Squiget

Geoffs doing well, he is on his 3rd day of 24 hour duty so I know hes ready to come home and crash! He started BradleyNet which is a big training course designed for scout units that use Bradleys in Iraq. I got a lot of emails today asking if he was affected my the Pentagon's announcement to send more troops this December but as of right now hes being told April '08. Here is Geoff and our friend Dave settling in for the night without the comforts of home...

When Big becomes Huge

I admit it, I've not been doing the weekly belly pic shot because lets be honest, a) its hard to physically do and b) you've seen one big blob you've seen them all. After so many people saw the Easter pics and freaked out I guess its time to bare the belly and show you how huge Squiget has gotten. Now you can see why back aches and lack of sleep have me so gosh darn cheery!
