My little obsession

It's no secret to anyone who knows me that I'm pretty much picture crazy when it comes to Landon. I think he might be one of the most photographed kids in the world, second only to Suri Cruise (and maybe Olivia Nau). When I send out the Shutterfly pictures, the 30 or so pictures I send are about a 5% sampling of what I actually took that month. Andy thinks it's a sickness but those of you who know my mom know it's actually just genetic. Anyway, my favorite times to take pictures of him are the rare occasions when I have to wake him up from a nap. I love to sneak in with my camera and get a quick shot before he starts to stir. I usually only get one chance because the flash wakes him up, but those make for some of my favorite pictures. 

Andy's Return

Andy returned home as scheduled (amazingly), and we spent his two weeks of post deployment leave engaging in as much together time and as little technology as possible (no email, no blogs, only a few texts...). We all love having him home. He and Landon quickly became best buds, and even Sushi's getting in on the Andy love. 

Our together time included playing in the pools at Glenwood, playing in the pool in our neighborhood, going to parks in Philly, family trips to the grocery store, jogging through our neighborhood (Andy's first marathon is June 27 - Landon and I would join him for the last 3 miles of whatever his goal for that day was), visiting local town fairs,  spending time with neighborhood friends, and wonderful together nothingness.

Thanks to all of you who sent words of encouragement while he was away. This was a long one and your thoughts were very much appreciated.
