Meeting Uncle Chip




Last Sunday Grandma Mike and Aunt Kim picked Lexi and I up and we all headed to Kentucky to welcome Uncle Chip home from Afghanistan. The trip had many "firsts" in store for Lexi. It was her first road trip longer than 4 hours, her first bus ride, her first time to be on an Army Base, and her first time to meet her Uncle Chip. Of course, Uncle Chip had seen pictures of his niece, but this was the first time he would be able to hold her. It was an exciting and emotional time for all of us. Uncle Chip thinks Alexi is precious...he is once again a very proud uncle. Oh, and have I ever mentioned how very proud we are of Uncle Chip?

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!

The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping.  Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
