I gave Tristan spaghetti for the first time the other day. He really liked it. Isn't he cute? It got everywhere but that is ok. Tomorrow I plan on giving him Lasagna.

Our Walks
On Tuesdays and Thursdays Tristan and I have been going on walks with my friend Evi. We usually meet at about 9am or so and walk around town or on the track. Then at 11am we have a class/group that meets up and goes on a walk for about an hour. The last two times we have gone into the country. it is really pretty out there. I had never seen this side of Baumholder. It is very nice. It makes me like it here more. And I have something to look forward to. Also, about two or three times a week I put Tristan in daycare, and try to go to the gym with "My Girls" (Evi, Dawn, and Ally). We have been really good at keeping it up. It has been a lot of fun!

Tristan's Tooth
On about May first Tristan's first tooth finally broke through! We had been waiting for months for that to happen! It is on the bottom on his right side. It is a sharp little bugger! It hurts when he bits down on you! Hehe! Now we are just waiting on the other ones to come along too. But I just wanted to show you all what Baby With Tooth looks like!
Joey
So, I realized that I have not updated you on what has been going on the last few days. Things are going well. I have been really happy because I have been able to talk to Robert often.
However, we are having problems with Joey. He has been needing to go to the vet quite often. He went the first time about a month ago. That was to the Baumholder Vet. Just for shots. While he was there I asked about medication to put him on because of his occasional seizures. The gave me some. About a week or two later I noticed that he has a lump between his back leg and his ribs. So I tried to call the Baumholder Vet to make an appointment. They were not answering the phone all day so the next day I called the vet in Birkenfeld that we took Panda too. They got him in the next day. She took a sample of the lump and it was nothing to be worried about. But she was upset that the Baumholder Vet did not do blood work before giving him the medication. So the next week we had to go back for that. Then the next week he had a follow up to make sure the lump was still nothing to worry about. While at the appointment I noticed that his paws looked a little dried out. So I asked about that. It turns out that he has allergies. They wanted to bring him back this week for another follow up. But I told her that we could not keep doing this. It is getting too expensive. She said that was fine but if things got worse then he would have to go. I agreed to that. I am very happy with how involved and concerned they are for Joey, I just wish that he did not have to go anymore. He does have to go one more time to get more blood drawn to make sure that his levels are good on the medication. It is just hard because each time we go we spend at least 45 euro. That is like 70 dollars. The most we spent in one time was 70 euro, that is over a hundred dollars. I just cant keep this up. Anyways, that is what is going on. Just please pray that Joey does not have anymore problems.

leaving on Deployment.
On April 7, 2008. My husband left for Kuwait. It was one of the hardest days of my life. Knowing that I would not see him for months and not knowing exactly the next time that I would see him next, because we did not have his R&R (Rest and Relaxation) dates yet. He has been gone for over a month now and so far we are doing ok. It can be stressful at times. But I just have been trying to keep busy. I have made some new friends that have really been supportive for me, and I hope that I have been for them in turn. I was so excited to learn this Mother's Day weekend that I will be able to see Robert again in a few months! That is right we got his R&R date. Now I cant tell you what the dates are for security reasons but just know that our family and I are very happy! I cant wait until this deployment is done and we can see each other and he will be home for good!

Lovelace The Guru

The other day Tristan was taking a nap. When I went in to get him he had total "bed head". It was cute. But the more and more that I looked at him the more familiar he looked to me. I could not place it right at first but then I had it! He looked like the spitting image of Lovelace the Guru from the movie Happy Feet! See for your self!
