An Update

It seems like time is moving so quickly now that we are back in Hawaii.
Waiting for Ryan to get home from Afghanistan seemed to add at least 20 extra hours to each day.
Now they just fly by.
Zach will be six months old this week!
He has blossomed into such a funny, adventurous little boy.
We think we have a future dare devil on our hands, they baby knows no fear.

Ryan's battalion is on block leave until the end of the month so he has not been working much.
We have been spending our free time at the pool and walking down to the lagoons.
Z is becoming quite the water baby.
If you haven't seen his swimming video on Shutterfly, it's a must.
I had to make Ryan watch a documentary about babies and their reflex to hold their breath before Ryan approved that experiment but it turned out to be really fun.
We also have found a new favorite place to eat, Monkeypod Kitchen.
They have live music everyday from 3-5:30 and all appetizers and pizzas are half-price.
As they say on the islands, "it's so ono" (delicious).

Ryan just started his last semester at Embry-Riddle.
He is going to walk across the stage June 22nd!!
I am so proud of him and what an achievement.

My mom is coming for a visit in exactly one week.
Janette and Marc will be here in April.
Natalie and Tyler and baby V will be here in April.
and hopefully my grandparents and my sweet cousin T will be here this summer.

Ryan and I are going to his battalions ball next week to celebrate their homecoming.
I am pretty excited about my new dress, pictures to come!

Hopefully in the next few weeks Ryan will be getting orders to our next duty station.
We think we know where it will be but I won't dare put it in writing until we get the official word.

Lots of good stuff to come.
Love you all!
