Summer plans

James is currently deployed in Bahrain. We all miss him very much.
Alethea is now 4 months old. She weights 14.5 lb, 25 in long. She is growing so fast. I love all the new developments daily. I'm loving being a mommy!!!!
Kim & Tony are leaving for their mom's on Tuesday morning. =( My
mom is flying in Tuesday afternoon. I'll be packing and cleaning the house to leave for Oregon for 2 months. Driving up with the 2 dog, cat and baby. Call me crazy. Can't wait to share my bundle of joy with the family.
See many of you very soon.
