He's Home!

Some of you know, some of you didn't know that Matt had been deployed to Iraq for 4+ months. Well, he finally came home just a few days ago! Yay! Syd and I did good while he was gone. Thanks to my parents who let us crash with them for 3 weeks. Thanks to family and friends who came to visit us. Thanks to my friends who would call and email to check up on me. And thanks to my friends who graciously watched Sydney so I could go to my doctor appts.

Since Matt's been back, we've been doing all sorts of things. Matt took Sydney to the beach the other day and I was alone in my house for a few hours! It was fantastic! What did I do? I crafted the whole time - uninterupted. : ) Matt has about a week and a half off now so we'll be doing all sorts of fun things. Today we went to our county fair. Matt totally spoiled Sydney with rides, games, and sugar. First up: the ferris wheel.


Cotton candy.
And for those of you who have been to Ohio, they had Ritters at our Florida fair! I couldn't believe it. I'm pregnant people, of course we had some. : )
The prizes from the games. I have no idea what drew her to the giant crayon.
Roller coaster. The same one from the Texas State Fair too.



Sydney just loves to ride on fair rides. Here's a version of the tea cups.


Have a good weekend.

I've been waiting for this post!

and Sydney has every right to be spoiled!

That's funny it's the *same* rollercoaster!

I can't wait til our girls are a little older. No one else will go to Six Flags with me! haha :)

Hooray!!! Looks like they are having a blast. And Ritters! YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY. Did you get to eat any weird fried foods, like fried butter again? Welcome home Matt!
