Update

A short update:

A few weeks ago a bird came and ate my tomato seedlings...twice. Green thumb = fail.

Rea crawls with her belly on the floor now, she is so busy and into everything....I love her curiosity and sweet spirit. She likes to make noises and talk and explore everything. She even follows me...if I walk into the kitchen she scoots till she can see me again. She can keep herself entertained for intervals of time and she LOVES when you sing to her. She even has two teeth coming in on the bottom and her cheesy grin can make any heart melt.

Grace has been a great big sister. She loves to lay down next to Rea and loves to cuddle with her if she gets still. Grace is watchful and gentle with Reagan, if she cries Grace runs over to her to investigate and will most likely give her a lick that means "don't worry, Mommy (or Daddy) will be here to help you as soon as possible!" Such a smart dog (although not so smart when she runs in front of moving vehicles...)

Eric started flying the Osprey and enjoys his job greatly. I still can't believe he is in the fleet, and I am so very proud of him. No matter how busy he is, he still finds time for family and time for wife. Having a pilot for a husband creates a wonderful, chaotic schedule but somebody has to do it!

We have some special friends over here who make NC feel more like Texas (the state, not t.u.). We have a small house that isn't fancy, and we barely fit into it....but it's home. We are thankful to be together and we love sharing life with little Rea...she makes everything more special!

We have found a new church and we are excited to get more involved there. Rea has her own class and I really can't believe it! She is such a big girl....I have already told her that she can never leave me and that she will live with us forever......what? :) (I'm just kidding....kind of....)
