July Happenings

Well, It has been a while since I last updated this blog. We have been basically busy spending time as a family since KC got back. It is amazing to see KC and Aidan playing together again after 5 long months like no time has passed at all! At night, Aidan still wants mommy to snuggle with before going to bed but Daddy is back to read stories in his funny voices while we snuggle! We both love having KC home!

We had a quick trip down to Tampa to see family back in June after KC got home. KC's mom, Dottie, has been planning a big Carter family reunion with all the kids and grandkids! She even drove to Missouri to get Kelly's daughter, Allison, for a visit. We had a BBQ and lots of fun! I got to take pics for the event.(click on the word pics to see them!)

We had a good 4th of July! Old friends of ours came for the weekend. KC gave us a big tour of his ship and we got to play at the beach and then watch some fireworks from the base! We had lots of fun!! We let all the kids sleep in Aidan's room...so not much sleeping went on.......but it was still a blast!

At the end of that weekend, KC left for schooling in Rhode Island for 3 weeks. Aidan and I got up early to take him to the airport. Aidan didn't understand that we weren't going with Daddy on the airplane that day. I told him that in 2 weeks we would be going on an airplane to see Daddy. That helped a little bit.

Of course, what do you think happens the day KC leaves? Aidan gets sick! He was coughing and sniffling for about a week. The docs said it was a good old fashioned cold and that he should be better by the time we have our trip! Luckily, he was better and only mommy had the sniffles when we left for RI. Trip details to follow in another post!
