Hello Parenthood

Apparently it's been 4 months since i've posted. Oopsie. Well, clearly all of you know by now that we had our little Rosalie. Well, maybe I should start by saying she wasn't exactly little. Being 10 days overdue put her at 9lb 1oz and 19.5inches long. She's the light of our life. All of our friends that were due around the same time have gorgeous, healthy little babies as well. We've been so blessed with her! She's a great eater, so great in fact that she was 15lbs at 10 weeks! She sleeps very well and is starting to roll over and grab at toys. Boy, is she a talker! We're going to have some high phone bills with this one!

Rosalie loves looking at the doggies and laughs when they lick her toes. They're very protective of her and love to play and stare at her. We have been staying pretty busy. When she was 10 days old Mike left for the field and was gone for 5 weeks. She was so happy to have him come home. She definitely knows who her daddy is and has him wrapped around those little fingers of hers! We can't wait to bring her home and show her off. She's going to be the center of attention for a bit, I think :D

Mike is putting in an application packet for Officer Candidacy School. If he gets in, which he should, we'll be heading to Ft. Benning in the spring. It's so funny to say that Korea has become our new "normal". It's going to be a culture shock to go home!

Mike also gets promoted to Sargeant on the first of August. He's such a great guy, he totally deserves it!

Don't want to keep this going too much so i'll update more later!
