My definition of a Veteran: One who has sacrificed much in order to protect our freedom, given up the convenience that so many of us Americans expect,  put others first in all circumstances, etc {I really could go on and on}. I have two brothers who have served many tours in Iraq and I have the privilege of working at a VA. I can't say THANK YOU enough to my brothers and the Veterans I serve everyday at work. 
 
                              
Love and miss you both!!!

{24 Weeks}

WOW! 2 more weeks has flown by... Trying to enjoy and cherish this time :)


My "protector" Scooch didn't want to take a picture so I had to do some coaxing. Can you tell?


PS I wasn't this big until at least 7 1/2 months with Haily!

Baby picture update

Just thought I would share these photos we got last week. Not the best views since he is ALWAYS moving {which is a good thing}! He flipped face down so we were able to get one of his whole body but from the back. Love how you can see the ears, arms, spine, legs, & feet. So neat to see him grow.
