This is us standing on the porch of Boone Plantation. Here we are outside of the Auquarium with Mr. Frog!

Here is the finished product of the first hair cut~~

He even got to eat animal crackers while getting his hair cut. How fantastic!

Wilson loves to talk on the phone. I started the phone thing b/c he and eric chat when Eric calls in. Wilson walks around going "Hey Dadddy." and of course when Eric gets on the phone he is either quiet or telling Eric about something else and then when I take the phoen back it is always "hey Daddy!" But WIlson loves to chat on the phone- he will tell you all about his day if you let him! I think he looks like the little kid on the E*Trade commercials. I can hear him say "Hey girl, can I hit you back later?"

Oh my goodness, has it really been since Febuary that we posted something- where in the world did all of February go and where is March going?
We were actually really busy in February.
For most of February Wilson was between Raleigh and staying in Florence. Nanna and Aunt Celena came up to go to Duke with us for our check up with he cleft pallate team. We were anxious to go esp. since Wilson has had so many ear infections. But alas, his ears were of course clear that day! But we are not "offically" let go from duke, but it is looking like they will elect not to do surgery on him- whatever muscle issues he has along his pallate will be fine and he should be able to live a normal life with what he has- the next biggest indicator will be his speech development and if we have problems with that then his mouth will need to be fixed.
We have had many many ear infections (we have been ear infection free for 2 weeks now!!) and even a bought with pink eye- ever try to put eye drops in a 14 month old? That was a trial.
March has been a hard month- I feel like we have been holed up in our house most of this month from all the RAIN we have been getting! Good gracious! Rain for days at a time. I am thankful for the rain, but most of all thankful that it is no longer the cold rain, but it is warmer now.
Eric is still in Iraq and is doing okay. He is rather tan and we all got to see eachother via our webcams a few weeks ago. It was the first time we have seen eachother since he left in December. He is coming home in a few weeks- APRIL 12!!! This is our anniversary and I am so excited about it. I can not wait to see him and he can not wait to see W and me!
How am I doing? I am doing good. I have lost a total of 18 lbs and 17 inches. I am down 2 sizes. I can not believe it! I have been doing good. I am actually in Raleigh for the next 5 or 6 weeks- longest stretch since Eric left. I usually end up going home to Florence almost every other weekend. My family has been fantastic in helping with everything.
My most fun time over the past few months was the trip taht Frank, Katie, Shannon and I took to Charleston. We had a beautiful weekend down there. We treated ourselves to one of the best dinners i have had in a long time at SNOB and just had a great time being together again. It was so nice to stay up late and just gab and laugh. It was just so nice to get away and just be by ourselves- no children.
This last Saturday we had a very special visit from AUnt Kelli and uncle Dino. THey dropped by for the day to visit and as always it was a pleasure to see them. WE love them so much and wish that they lived closer.
Saturday Frankie, Shannon and I have a girlie day at Jenny's to get our hair done! I will post pictures of our adventures. I have so many grey hairs!
Well, I am off to go to bed. Sorry for the time in between posts- I will keep this updated more often- Hope you are all doing well!
