Tommy riding his new bike!
It's good to be back in Germany. Tommy and I are finding fun things to do to stay busy while Justin is still in Iraq. He gets home in 39 days, give or take a day or two. It feels good to say "he'll be home next month" when people ask.
Tommy is learning all sorts of new things. He can say quite a lot, including his favorite "calm down". Whenever I tell him no or to stop something that he's doing, he says "calm down!". I don't know if he knows what it means but he sure says it at the right moments! He is especially good at knowing where things go. He helps me unload the dishwasher and he throws away trash and his diapers all the time. He also loads laundry into the washer, only usually it's clean clothes he puts in. :)
I can't wait to get my camera charger!!! I've already missed so many good photo opportunities, I'm going to be posting a new blog all the time once my camera is good to go. I should be picking up the charger at the post office very soon. I went on Friday but the post office was closed, probably for the 4th of July. I was disappointed. I'm a big believer in documenting my life, one day I will want to see pictures and what if I don't have them? For me that is a sad thought.
The weather here is pretty good. It's nice and cool inside, even though there is no air conditioning here. Outside it's kind of hot some days, and a little humid but not too bad. It's millions of times better than Arizona this time of year so I won't complain.
Here are the pictures, enjoy 'em!
Classic Tommy look. This is the "I'm sneaky" face.
He really has a blast on his bike. On the back there's a place to push and you can lock the wheels out. He hasn't gotten the hang of steering yet so this bike is perfect for him.
More blogs coming soon so make sure to check back! Love you Justin!
