I've decided to continue blogging (after taking a rest for quite a few months), not just to keep everyone up to date, but I also really enjoy looking back and seeing how much our family is growing and changing. Here are some highlights from the summer and fall...
- Took a family mini-vacation to Branson, MO
- Gramma and Papa came out for a visit!
- We found out we're expecting a baby boy around March 20th of next year!
- We celebrated Tom's 27th birthday!
- We've decided that I'll separate from the Air Force right after the baby is born, so I can be a stay at home mom. This has been something Tom and I have been discussing over the last couple of years, and it feels like the right time now. The only reason for me to stay in is money, which we've decided is not important enough to sacrifice the quality of family life that we truly desire. We have many family goals that are just not possible with both of us being in the military. I'm looking forward to being able to stay home and enjoy our children, and am so thankful for Tom being so supportive of this for us!!

Once I got the basic stitiches down, I felt it was actually pretty easy. I've really taken a break from sewing for some reason, but I'll probably get back into it at least after the holidays. I have a few things I want to make:
