NCO of the Month

After anxiously awaiting to hear from my husband about his day and how the board went, I finally got news this morning that he won! CPL. Jeffrey Davis is 8-1 CAV's NCO of the Month! This board is normally meant for SGTs and SSGs (higher rank than him) and he won anyways! He now has to prepare for the NCO of the Quarter board that will be held next month.

Congratulations Jeff, I am telling you again how proud I am of you because I don't think it can be said enough.

Now, onto much less exciting news from the homefront.

I bought Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days for Jack yesterday at Target. I am just not a big fan of the children's shows they offer on cable these days. Sesame Street is on of my favorite children's shows of all time and buying this DVD set was in hope that he will enjoy it too. Turns out, he loves it! And I'll admit, I like watching it too :) We just watched an episode with the "Lady Bug Picnic" in it. I can remember my mom singing "1,2,3.. 4,5,6.. 7,8,9.. 10,11,12.. and they all played games at the ladybug's picnic" to me when I was younger, and I hear her sing it to Avery now. I have these memories of Sesame Street and I want to share them with Jack, and I'm just really happy I will be able to.

Now I'm off to throw myself deep into this mess of stuff we spoke about yesterday and hopefully get a lot of it taken care of today. My dad called last night and wants to move all the furniture and big stuff out tomorrow evening, so I need to have all of it ready to go and the rest of the stuff out of the way. Anyone able to come and kick me in the butt and and get me in gear?

Fun Facts

Because I've been away so long, I will be listing things about our life that have become noteworthy in the past few weeks. To write a blog that flowed properly among paragraphs would just be too difficult at this point.

1. We have recieved a Mail Stop Date for Jeff. DO NOT send any mail through the U.S. Postal Service after May 15, 2010. You may still send emails and communicate via Facebook, but just no post mail.

2. Easter Bunny was good to Jack, he got sunglasses, baby food, a stuffed ducky, bowls and spoons, a stuffed bunny and outfit from Grandpa Kevin, and a few outfits from Grandma Laura & Papaw John. Luna also got an Easter basket with chew bones, a new squeaky toy, and some gourmet meals.

3. April 7th-10th Jack and I made the trip to Fort Jackson, South Carolina to see our very much missed Ashley! She graduated on April 9th from Basic Combat Training and is now on to Fort Lee, Virginia for her AIT training. Congratulations Ashley!

4. Jack had a check up on April 14th, he weighed 16 pounds 4 ounces and was 27 inches long. He is in the 10th percentile for his weight, and 50th percintile for his heigth. The pediatrician was not worried at all about his weight and neither am I. I just have to stick to my guns when his medical care is turned over to Madigan Army Medical Center. I have heard they are picky about their babies' weights.

5. Next week, Jack and I will be leaving Tuesday for San Antonio, Texas!! We are meeting our friends Kaylee and Parker there for vacation. Parker is just about Jack's age so they will have a blast, and Kaylee and I are great friends and I can't wait to see her! Kaylee's mama is also coming along to help with the boys, so it will be a great trip. Look for updates next week!

6...

This is the news I have been anxiously avoiding revealing to my readers (who are mostly friends and family from Ohio). We have been approved for our apartment in Washington! The date is much earlier than expected, but we are happy to have the stress of finding our home out of the way...

Jack, Luna, and I will be driving to Washington. We will be leaving on the morning of May 13th.

To our Ohio families- We love you and will miss you all.
To our Washington families (Jeremy, Marcy & the boys... Emma, Shirley, Haley, Trevor, Katie and Erik & the rest of your family)- We can't wait to see you!
To Daddy- This is a step closer to you! :)
