  36 Weeks OldWe are back in Hawaii!  We left Pennsylvania at 6am Wednesday and arrived in Honolulu at 3pm the same day.  That's technically only 9 hours but that's because of the time change.  The trip actually took 16 hours.  ...
• Deployment Homecoming Dress
  on May 13, 2013 in Tutorial military Sewing
  When I saw military camouflage fabric in Fabric Mart, I knew that I had to make a dress for Cameron for her daddy's deployment homecoming!  It's not an exact match to the official military uniform camo but it's very close.  No military...
• Family Friday: Eight Months Old
  on May 10, 2013 in Pennsylvania Family Friday
  35 Weeks (8 Months) oldWe are still in Pennsylvania... thus the camouflage fabric in this week's photo.  Western PA to me is small towns, big yards, country music, hunting, pick-up trucks, and light beer :)  It took Cameron exactly one week...
• Family Friday - May 3
  on May 3, 2013 in Family Friday
  34 Weeks OldThe long trip to PA was smooth and easy but now we are all jet lagged because of the 6 hour time change.  Normally it would only take a couple days to overcome but having a baby is making it more difficult.  I wake Cameron up at...
• Cameron's First Flight
  on May 2, 2013 in traveling
  Cameron's first trip off of the island is a big one!  We flew from Honolulu, Hawaii to State College, Pennsylvania.  That is over 4,700 miles done with two transfers and a total of 11 hours 5 min in the air.  Children under 2 years of...

• Waiting at Home
  on Apr 24, 2013 in Deployment
  Johnnie deployed in October when Cameron was 6.5 weeks old.  He was gone for just about 6 months.   We were very lucky that the deployment was only six months as compared to the much longer deployments that others do.  We were also luc...

• DIY Pacifier Leash Tutorial
  on Apr 7, 2013 in Baby Products arts and crafts
  One of our cannot-live-without baby items is a pacifier leash.  It keeps the pacifier from falling to the floor and therefore needing washed.  Now that Cameron can put the pacifier in her mouth by herself, the leash also keeps it within her...

  29 Weeks OldI cannot believe it's the end of March already!  I've been a "single" parent for five months now.  It feels like forever ago that Johnnie actually left but at the same time, it feels like time has flown by.  The good news i...

  on Mar 16, 2013 in Family Friday
  27 Weeks OldCameron used to talk and coo constantly but lately she's been less vocal and more observant.  She is becoming super active so perhaps she has transferred her talking energy to mobile energy.  This girl cannot be stopped.  S...
