See daddy? (St. Louis wedding photographer)

That’s what I heard all day from Mr. Aidan. Such is the life of a military family, I suppose. To say that I’m a military wife is still so odd to me because I was the active-duty soldier for so many years. I’m the “dependent” now, and I can’t tell you how excited Dan is that I have that title rather than him. Well today was our first full day without Dan. He left for Japan bright and early this morning for about 2.5 weeks for his yearly AT. I’m still waiting to hear from him, to hear that he made it safely. To say that he’s not fond of flying is a complete understatement, but I’m hoping it was a relatively comfortable, safe flight for him. Otherwise, I pitty the person sitting next to him on the plane. Hopefully I’ll have an update for you tomorrow. In the meantime, Aidan and I are trying to stay busy. Today we went to the gym (he’s finally doing well in the nursery! Not nearly as much crying…), then we started the next semester of swimming lessons, and we even made it to the park before the rain hit! I’m about to embark on something really fun and challenging, but I’ll save that post for later. I’ll give you a hint by saying I’ll get a free t-shirt out of the deal.

And what’s a post without a picture. Hope you don’t mind a few more of my little guy. He’s growing up before my very eyes. Every day I tell him, “No more growing, Aidan!” And he says, “No. No. No growing!” Cute little mocking bird that he is.
