I came in to check on Ronan, during his morning nap, and he had pulled the blanket over his face. I thought this picture was cute. I had given up that Ryan would call today, and yet early this evening he called. He only had ten minutes, but it was good to talk to him since the last phone call over a week ago. He really enjoyed Warrior Week and his flight did the best. They earned a banner to put on their flag. He did get Chinese and his classes start the 5th of July. I can move out there once Ryan has. I’m hoping it won’t take long to arrange all the logistics to get us out there. Other than that he is really excited to see Ronan and I. We leave tommrow and I can’t wait till then!  

Today Ronan turned five months old! What a big boy! What a way to celebrate Father’s Day! Actually, Ronan and I have two gifts for Ryan for Father’s Day….we’ll just celebrate it a little late. Maybe Ryan will be able to call today so we can wish him a happy Father’s Day!

Today is Nonna’s BIG birthday! We made her breakfast in bed and displayed a homemade card on her tray. Then we went to base to order a sofa for our new home. We bought some scrapbooking supplies from Joyce and then Joyce came to the house too. Nonna and I did some scrapbooking and then we took Ronan to the pool. He really liked the big pool and had fun swimming. He looked pretty cool in his swimtrunks and bright orange hat. He got compliments too. He got a little scared once when he went head first in the water and swallowed some. He started coughing a lot and getting a little upset. I remained calm and he didn’t stop breathing. Then he was happy as a clam and was excited to swim again. That a boy! What a trooper! You’re Daddy would be so proud! We ordered out food for Nonna’s bday and ate at home. We love you Nonna! Happy –th birthday!

These are some pictures I took after we had gone to the pool. I had taken the camera with me but left the memory card at home by mistake. So no pictures of him in the pool….sorry! He looked so cute in the car seat though. He was covered with two towels to keep him warm and all you could see were some toes and his face.

Ronan say formaggio!

He either looks mischievous or sheepish…

Look it those toes!
