Home Sweet Home

We also had the chance to go home to Connecticut on Dave's post deployment leave. It was so exciting because Noah was going to be meet all his relatives! We had a really great time. We only had nine days to see everyone and let me tell you nine days wasn't enough time! The last time Dave and I were home together was last December. We were busy every second of every day. We had a blast seeing everyone. It was so hard to leave. Everyone loved Noah. Noah was held by everyone. Dave and I got to go on a date for the first time since he has been back from Iraq which was a lot of fun. We had so many babysitters we just had to take advantage. The weather change was a big shock. We go from 85 degree weather in Palm Springs to 15 degrees in Hartford. Noah only had a little cold for a day. He was such a little trooper!

My Mom would always rock Noah to sleep, she still has the touch :) While Dave and I were staying at my house with my parents in the morning I put Noah in bed with my parents. He had so much fun with Grandpa and Grandma Ullmann.
Dave and I had so many people to see in the 9 days that we were home so our parents decided to have a party for us. It was a great idea! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Life is all about family and friends and God has truly blessed Dave and I. We have the best family anyone could ever ask for. We have such a strong bond of love that is so great to have! I love and miss all my friends and family dearly.
