Hanging Out.









We have done absolutely nothing glamorous since Rome, but it's been nice to just hang out. It was raining for awhile, then JJ was sick last weekend, and this weekend it's raining again. JJ's been having fun just playing cars and trains, reading, coloring, and painting. He also likes to play hide-and-seek all the time and likes to pretend to put Brian to bed : )

As JJ gets older and talks even more, we start to realize the sayings that we say all the time. JJ was pretending to put Brian to bed the other night and Brian asked him to read another book and JJ said, "ok, one more book, but that's it." Apparently he knows the bedtime routine very well.

We're still in temporary housing and are very, very ready to move into our house. The military housing office operates incredibly slowly here, so it's been very frustrating. We're hoping to be moved in the next few weeks, but you never know what could happen. JJ will sometimes ask for his toys and we'll say they'll be here soon but then he says, "when I go home I can play with them." For some reason when he asks for his toys he'll also say sometimes that Tristan is playing with them, which makes me laugh and cry at the same time. I don't think that he understands that this is where we really live since we don't have our stuff. Hopefully once we're moved we can all get settled in and get a more "normal" life back.

  2. I hope this is working now -- haven't been able to write anything ever since you got there. I am sorry things aren't moving as fast as you want them to (it could be worse, you could have a boot on your foot to lug around). Cute pictures! Glad for the update. Not so glad for the cold, JJ. Have you had any of the horrible weather we're reading about that has hit Europe? Stay warm. Love, FA/FGA
