Tobias left for deployment about a week and a half ago and we're doing well so far. We hear from him almost every day via email. He'll be gone for about 7 months, but we're already anxiously awaiting his return.
The day before Tobias left his squadron had a change of command ceremony, which is why he was all dressed up in chokers in the above picture. He looks pretty impressive with the medal and ribbons.
The morning Tobias left we were able to escort him aboard his ship, USS BOONE (FFG 28). This picture was taken by one of the Sailors. James seems to be more interested in looking at the flight deck than the camera, but Tobias looks great!
For a baby who once hated being on his stomach, he's sure grown to love it. This is how I found James when he woke up from a nap last week. He is now able to roll over to from his back to his stomach and his stomach to his back. Pretty exciting!
Sweet boy!
This past weekend James and I flew up to New Hampshire to visit with Jill, my roommate at the Academy all 4 years! I hadn't seen Jill in a while - before Tobias and I were married actually. Since then Jill has done 2 tours in Iraq as a Marine Corps Logistics Officer.
As you can tell from the picture, Jill is engaged. We were able to attend her bridal shower this weekend, which was beautiful! Jill's wedding will take place in CA next month.
This is a sweet video of Jill playing with James. He is laughing up a storm. It's great to hear him laugh again because Tobias was really the only one who got him laugh.
