Next weekend Vic and I are heading to Nuremberg for the night ... without Elliott!! I met a friend of a friend who runs a daycare (sponsored by the Army) out of her house, so Vic and I went to visit this weekend and it's awesome - she has a daughter the same age as Elliott and they were having so much fun playing together. She does weekend/overnight care ... and we couldn't pass up the opportunity - it will be the perfect getaway for my 30th birthday, and Elliott will have a blast.
We leave on the 21st for our big cruise. We fly into Italy on Thursday night, then we will wake up early on Friday morning and try to squeeze in a quick trip to the Vatican before we catch our cruise ship in the afternoon. We go from Rome to Genoa, Italy to Marseille, France to Barcelona, Spain to Tunisia, Africa to Sicily, and then back to Rome. We are staying one extra night in Rome so we have a chance to see the Colosseum and all of that jazz. We are super excited ... and a little nervous. This is a huge task to take on with a toddler ... we may live to regret it, but we'll see some awesome places along the way!!
Vic's deployment is up in the air at this point ... they are going back and forth ... and back and forth with whether or not they are sending his team, so we'll see what happens!! We're prepared for the worst at this point ... so we are really just hoping for a solid decision soon.
I don't have much to share this week, but I do love this picture ...
He loves to do whatever Daddy is doing!
Elliott's vocabulary has tripled in the last few weeks. It is crazy ... the kid will not shut up!
Here is a video from bath time. He has started 'saying' his ABC's ... which is just a bunch of babbling to the tune of the song. Of course, he wouldn't do it for the camera ... but I'll get it one of these days. You can hear him say 'Elliott' - which just started in the last week!
We'll update after our trip to Nuremberg next weekend!!!
Mr e. sure is growing. We love him, you guys too. Have fun on your trip. Hope you get your b/day card in time. Wow! 30 is amazing. We're did the time go? Keeping my fingers crossed that Vic's unit will not have to deploy. Hugs to all
