Jacob didn't want Daddy to leave.

Jacob didn't want Derek to go. We were trying to get him all packed up the night before and came down the hallway to find this. Sill boy!! I think he would have been happy to stow away in Daddy's luggage! 

His overflowing sea bag!

In a previous post I mentioned while Derek was home, I made him try everything on. He even did a folding demonstration for me. I did let him know that would always be his job though... even when we're living together! I don't fold or iron military related things! I don't want that responsibility!! It is nice to know that he can iron now! I will surely put that new skill to use once we're together again. heehee

Derek's early Christmas

Derek had a pretty good early Christmas this year! This was one of the many gifts he was showered with. heehee 

Fall

Jacob likes to be outside! He really enjoyed playing in the leaves last fall!

Also Halloween... 

Mr. Police Man!

Its been a long while... so I'm going to do my best to get pictures in order here... 

Jacob was a Police Man for Halloween last year. He won the costume party at Delyse and Jesses but that wasn't hard considering it was a party full of cops. heehee He wasn't so fond of the hat and the costume was a bit on the big side so he'll wear that again this year!

 

I know, I know... I'm working on it! =)

Ok, ok, ok... I know, I keep promising pictures. Well, I got the computer and started school and got wrapped up in all that. Now I'm realizing that I don't have the cord to connect the camera to the computer. Figures.... Derek is talking about getting me a new camera for Valentines day so I'm going to wait and see if that comes with the things I need to connect it to the computer. In the mean time.... I'm going to attempt to put the pictures form the old camera on another computer and burn them to a CD. Bare with me... I'm going to do my best to find the time!! =) 

On another note, yes, I started school and so far I'm really enjoying it. I'm just taking one class this semester to get my feet wet. I can't believe its been 5 years since I've been in school already. Time flies doesn't it? Jacob is doing well. Still having some trouble adjusting to Derek being gone again. He wakes up every morning and says hello to Daddy's picture and blows him a kiss. We usually try and get the two of them on Skype a few times a week. The problem we're running into is Derek wakes up to go to work during Jacob's nap and when Derek gets home form work Jacob has already been in bed for a few hours. Jacob is starting terrible twos... now to those of you who know him, you think no, thats not possible! But let me tell you... he is VERY capable of throwing a full blown tantrum! All in all I am still very blessed with a low key kiddo. He's good boy but has his moments! We are planning our trip to Japan already and looking into airfare... ouch! But we are very excited to experience what Derek is doing there in Japan! We should be headed that way the end of June beginning of July for about 3 weeks. Derek isn't taking his leave that he is due over the summer so he can come home for a full month come December.  Hopefully I'll be able to update with pictures soon!
