We are off to the airport in a few hours. Corey and I have been conditioned to function on just a few hours of sleep, but I think tonight will be the first all-nighter I've pulled since undergrad (and I only tried it one time back then, right Kristin?) We still need to break down Parker's playard, finish laundry and pack the swing. We have bottles drying and Bailey is looking at us like he knows what's going on... hopefully we'll be able to catch him when it's time for him to get in the carrier.
There's always too much to do at the last minute and we missed saying 'goodbye' to many of our friends here in San Antonio. We'll be back at some point, but until then you will just have to read our blog and scroll through the millions of pictures of Parker that I plan to post. Parker is pretty bummed that she didn't get to meet some of our friends, and I was really hoping to get up to WHMC one more time so that we could say goodbye to Major Foster (yay - she got promoted!) She spoiled us (Parker in utero) and we will miss her. We did get to see our friends Brandon & Jenn and their 3 cuties who are now 6 months old. Parker is still deciding if she has a crush on Colton or Caleb :) and she is very excited about her new friend Kendall because they seem to have the same fashion sense.
Today we did the final walk-through of our house. It was sad to drive away for the last time. I know we will be moving many more times, though, so I just need to focus on our future. We are almost packed and it is really difficult for me to conceptualize what our travels will bring. I just need to get through my Navy training and then I think I will be able to enjoy Okinawa a little more.
Parker is doing well despite being hungry for the past week. We took her to L&D last night and weighed her at feeding time and she is getting a little less than she did last time and she hadn't gained weight in a week. Now we are once again giving her more formula and she is sleeping great and is a happy baby. She is purposely smiling and is so sweet and snuggly. She has been more places in the past 5 weeks than I would want to take her in the first 5 months, but with one car and our international move, she has not had a choice. I can't wait to just stay home with her for a few weeks before I have to worry about the Navy.
We have a new address - if you want to send us anything, you mail it just like US mail:
PSC 80 Box 21244
APO AP 96367
Corey set up a Skype number for us and hopefully many of you will become familiar with Skype. Our new number is (210) 775-2708. Please pray for our safe travels and keep in touch!
