My husband has now returned from his 10 day oasis called EFMB (training for emergency field medical badge). It is nice to have him back home, although I know he wishes he would've passed and received the badge. Apparently it's a tough badge to get, since only about 10% of participants get it. He was grateful for the experience and said it made him appreciative of things like showers and home cooked meals and a bed instead of a cot.
While Matthew was away, my mom and stepfather graciously came to spend some time with me and love on William. William was going through a mommy-only phase at the time, but after one night he was reaching for Yaya and Pop Pop. We mostly hung out together at the house talking and spending good old fashioned quality time together. And we also made our usual trip to Lowe's for house fixin' stuff. We had home cooked meals and yummy desserts except for one delicious night at Outback. And we got to babysit some adorable kiddos of some friends of ours so that they could go to the Dentac ball.
William had some firsts, too! He waved bye to Yaya, started making this cute 'cluck' sound and wanting them to do it back, and he officially started crawling in a forward direction.

Loved every minute of just hanging out! Didn't get our "missions" accomplished with Paul having the vertigo episode, but we got our love tanks filled and our laughing muscles exercised! Still laugh out loud when we think of Lil' Dub's fake laugh to be one of the crew--will always remember that happy little chuckle at absolutely nothing! And to think, I actually got his FIRST wave "bye"!!! :-D
