Better late than never

I just can't seem to get back into the habit of blogging regularly. I really need to, we've had so many things happen and I'm going to forget it all if I don't write it down.

First things first- we moved to SC! Athan is now stationed at Shaw AFB in the CE squadron. We got here at the end of January and have loved being here so far! Athan isn't crazy about the job he has right now, but it's temporary. We found out in March that he deploys to Iraq in October.

In February we traveled to Sarasota, FL to see Karissa and her family... we especially wanted to see new baby Talitha. She was sweet and precious. We enjoyed spending time with Clara as well... the cousins enjoyed getting to know one another better. For one week in February we had Grandma Hufstetler visiting with us. A precious time of getting to know her better, the kids really enjoyed it.

In March our own sweet baby came. I was due April 1 but due to my blood pressure climbing again, I was induced at 39 weeks. Eden Joy was born on March 26 at 4:18am. She was 8lbs 6oz and 20 1/4 in long with a full head of black curls! She is beautiful and sweet, we all love her so much. She continues to be a delight to us, with a very happy little personality.

In April we had visits with Athan's parents, as well as my mom and sister. Everyone was happy to meet the newest little Waldron. It made for a busy but fun month.

May continued our busy-ness as we continued to adjust to life with 3 children. We made the decision to move to KY while Athan is deployed in the fall. Taking care of 3 children under the age of 5 by myself wasn't particularly appealing. I'm looking forward to being 'back home' for a few months. We also celebrated our 5th anniversary! Amazed to think we've been married that long, funny to think we have 3 kids already!

June started with Seth turning 4- can't believe my boy is so big! He is a real joy to us. Smart boy full of imagination! Athan's parents came for his birthday party and Charlie had her first gymnastics expo. She is very athletic and seems to have a talent for it! We helped with VBS for our church here in Sumter last week. It was a long week but very enjoyable. We're thankful for the friendships we're forming and the time w have here.

Next month we're headed to MI for the first time in nearly 4 years! So excited to see all our friends and family up there. So many new little ones to meet and enjoy. After that trip we'll need to focus on packing up all our things because Athan will move me and the kids to his parent on Labor Day weekend. It'll be here before we know it and I want to enjoy our time together before Athan is gone!
