So I am sure you are all wondering what I mean by that, well we are moving to Ft. Monroe Virginia. the crazy part is, we have to be there in a month. Rob was hand picked by a 3 star General to be his aide which is so great for him but really caught us off guard. I am very excited for a new adventure but a little nervous to do it all in a month and with a 2 month old( not to mention my hyperactive 4 year old)!!! It is located right on the coast, it is actually its own little island. So I am glad we will be on the beach even though it wont be as warm as here. The best part is my friend Brooke from TX will be there for 3 months before they move to England so I will get to spend some time with her and her new baby!
I will post more details as we get them!

8 Weeks old today!!!
Wow were does time go? Austin is 8 weeks old and getting so cute and chubby. We are all doing great and love this little guy so much- nights are getting a little easier and he is sleeping for longer so that helps me to get a little more sleep. We are still getting up a lot to put the Binky back in his mouth but at least he is easily soothed:)

My amazing Boys
I just wanted to put a little note on here to tell you how amazing my boys are. Little Rob is so smart and energetic. Austin is just an angel. Big Rob is such a blessing to me. I cant even thank him enough for all the love and support he gives to me and our family. I am sure he is so sick of hearing about how tired I am or how much I want to fit back into my regular jeans. He just tells me I look beautiful and to relax. He has had so much patience with me and the emotions that come with having a newborn. I am the luckiest person in the world to have my little family and look forward to watching us grow! Love you Rob!
I AM ALIVE- Barely
If any of you were wondering where I have been -- lets see. Austin is 7 weeks old today and this is the 3rd day at my house with NO COMPANY!! For the first 6 weeks of his life we have had family after family here to help and see the new baby! Let me tell you I am torn now because I LOVED the help but also love that my boys are in their own rooms and we are actually starting to get in a grove. I did, however, take for granted the help I had. Rob has SOOO much energy and needs so much attention that I am exhausted just watching him. He is on a 2 week spring break and so he is EXTRA bored and wants me to watch him do everything. When family was here at least there was someone who could do that all the time. So I think he is having a hard time and he loves to need something the second I sit down with Austin to feed him or am making dinner. I am sure it will get better. Austin is starting to get into a better night time pattern so that is good- I am still waiting to not feel exhausted all the time and dream about the night I get more then 3 hrs of sleep in a row- i am sure that is coming:) Big Rob is in full swing at school so he too is exhausted and stretched for time. Thank goodness we live here and there is some extra time for him to do his work and to get his masters done! Hopefully in the next few weeks we will get more settled and then I can update more often--
Auntie Val Comes to BamaBama
So Val had never been to Florida before and was going to drive all alone to the beach. Being the WONDERFUL sister I am, I decided to pack up the boys (Austin was 6 weeks old) and take her to Destin, FL. WOW- lets just say if you pack for one day you can stay a week. After all the stress of packing a newborn to go the beach we were off. I am SO very lucky that Austin is a good baby because when we got to the beach he slept all 3 hrs we were there. We looked like freaks carrying a HUGE stroller across the beach and then tried to put up a shade tent in 100 mph winds (we gave up after a few tries) but we had a great time. We got sun and played in the water and that is what we wanted to do. We survived the beach. We had a blast with Val and are so happy she got to come visit!
Mamny and Grandpa Visit!
How fun- we had Mammy and grandpa here for 2 weeks-- well mammy was here 2 weeks. She was such a help and was great with Rob- and Austin. They went on a field trip and got to hold all sorts of animals-- To me the best was the baby black bear! We had a great time.
