Jeremy's Deployment

We've hit the 1 month mark since Jeremy's been gone. I miss him more and more every day...and I know Gavin misses his daddy too! We cant wait for him to be back so we can start our new lives together with our little Gavi :)

All his gear

The cargo plane they rode in...doesnt look too comfortable.

Their first stop was Rota, Spain. He was there for a few days.

Then they were in Kuwait for a couple days.

Of course he had to take a picture with the DALLAS sign!!

The tents in Kuwait

Jeremy is doing well and I email him almost every day and we get to talk on the phone about every 2 weeks.

Just A Few More Pictures

I love his precious face

SMILE!!

Gavin's 1st Christmas

Unfortunately, Jeremy had to leave for Afghanistan 5 days before Christmas, so he missed Gavin's first Christmas. It was hard not having him here for the holidays, but I made sure to take plenty of pictures so he could see what we did :)

He always has a serious look on his face

Gavin and I on Christmas Eve

Getting dressed to go to bed...in his red & green socks his daddy picked out!

In his Christmas pjs :)

Waiting to see what he got from Santa on Christmas morning

I LOVE this picture of him!! In his flannel shirt...Just like his daddy wears!

Our Little Bundle of Joy

Jeremy's 21st Birthday!

Jeremy's birthday was November 30th and he was SO HAPPY he was able to still be here to celebrate! Here he is getting carded...WOO!!

His first LEGAL drink of alcohol :)

We were staying with our friends until Jeremy left and she surprised him with the house decorated when we got home on his birthday. (The only decorations she had on hand were from a hawaiian party so those were what she put up haha)

Blowing out his candles

Finally...

Ok so I know I'm almost 3 months behind on my blog, so I'll give some quick updates.

Well, as all of you know our Gavin was born on November 5th at 6:40am. After 21 hours of labor and almost 4 hours of pushing he finally arrived!! Jeremy and I were so proud and happy to finally have him with us. We got very lucky and Jeremy was able to stay in the U.S. until the 20th of December. I cant explain how hard it is to be seeing Gavin grow up without Jer here, but he'll be back before we know it and Gavin will have his daddy here again!

Here are a few pictures from the hospital and of Gavin's first few weeks of life on Earth :)
