We have had a busy but delightful month! It started out with Nanny coming to visit for two weeks then making the drive with us to KC for another two weeks! There is nothing better than spending time with family and we got to do plenty of that. We had a blast in KC visiting Papa's land and picking blackberries, so yummy. Of course we baked an amazing pie with them, I can seriously still taste it;) We also celebrated the 4th while in KC, Parker had a blast this year with the fireworks. He did end up with a small blister on his finger from the firework but I am pretty sure it was just a peek in to the future 4th of Julys. As always we missed daddy and I couldn't help but feel a little empty as I watched our son light up and love every minute of the fireworks. I try not to dwell on Michael being away but sometimes it gets the best of me and I can't help but feel sad that he isn't here to experience this once in a lifetime moment with Parker. I can't wait for him to come home, we are counting down the days. Mom and I also got some shopping in while I was in KC, although we have a full wardrobe for Hudson I couldn't help but buy a few new outfits for him. I LOVE his coming home outfit and I seriously can't wait to see him in it. It was hard saying goodbye to Nanny after being with her for a month but not surprisingly super Nanny devised a little plan to side track Parker from her departure by quickly getting out of the car at the airport and handing him a brand new Buzz toy, that did the trick! He was soo excited about that toy and has not put it down since she gave it to him. Although it sufficed him he still asked about Nanny and continues to randomly ask to see her. In fact it broke my heart today when I left Parker with a friend while I went to have an ultrasound, I explained to him that I was going to check on baby Hud but I would be back to get him. He kept saying over and over again on the car ride there "Mama go bye bye it's ok she be right back" I couldn't help but get a little teary eyed because I believe this was stemming from the fact that people he loves seem to come and go in his life. He was totally fine once we got there because his best buddy Ethan was ready to play with him! I just wish I knew what he was thinking so I could help him understand if need be. Anyways this past month has left me feeling so appreciative at all the love and support we have from friends and family. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people in my life! I decided not to post pics from our KC visit because I posted those to facebook and I am pretty sure anyone that looks at my blog has probably seen them on facebook. So I decided to post pictures from our play group tonight. Parker was so well behaved, well......well behaved for a crazy 2 yr old boy lol! All the kids got along great and the mommy's could actually have a conversation which is much needed when your husband is deployed.
