First "Firsts" of the New Year! (2)

Today we had a much needed family day. We slowly took down all the Christmas decorations this morning and then spent the afternoon just being lazy while Brudder was napping.

After nap time we headed on to post to see the movie Tangled! This was the first movie we'll see in the theater in 2011 but it was also Brudder's first time to head to the movie theater with the family. He was a champ, not a single cry or fuss out of him. Big Boy absolutely loves going to the theater. It's not often that we get a Children's film here so when we do it's really a treat. You get to the theater and you see everyone you know. Big Boy and his best brown from Kinks saw this movie together and they were hilarious. Kinks doesn't like anyone around him to make a peep while he's watching the film and Big Boy, our talker, never shuts up. They love each other though.

After the movie we enjoyed a nice dinner out, probably for the last time until we move to America, at our favorite Chinese restaurant; The Mandarin. The last time we were there I was supposedly a month away from delivery but little did we know that Brudder would come a week later. We've eaten take out a time or two but this was Brudder's first time at the restaurant and he was such a good boy. Big Boy loves the Sweet and Sour Chicken with NO SAUCE and will eat until he is stuffed. He's such a picky eater that it's nice to see him eat more than a few pieces of his dinner.

My Breezy will head back to work, back to a regular schedule tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to it at all. I'm still having some pain, and not "allowed" to bend or lift much at all so this should be interesting. Thankfully Big Boy is an amazing helper. He and I are going to Clean the Kitchen in the morning and then do some crafting in the afternoon. The week with pass with no time.

I've asked you to join us on our journey back to America and we hope that process will begin for us on Tuesday. As of right now, we do not know where we will be moving. Somehow the Army "forgot" we were leaving, so now we're down to our last 30 days in country and we're not even prepared to leave. On Tuesday we hope to have an "On Assinment" and shortly after "Paper Orders." We're crossing our fingers for Savannah, but our best bet is going to be Colorado. Only time will tell!!

My parents are traveling north tonight to be with my Aunt who is slowly fading away from us. She's been sick for a very long time and only time will tell how much longer she will be here with us. My Auntie C is the strongest, most determined woman I have ever met in my entire life. Even through many battles of Cancer she has continued to truck on, mostly winning the fight for her life. I'd ask that you'd continue to pray for her family and my parents as time is so precious.
