Another busy week

This week was like most of our weeks, jam-packed and busy busy. We had our Squadron Christmas party on Monday evening complete with Santa, pizza and movies. We didn't last long for the movies, but Hayden really enjoys his pizza. He did not care for Santa this time around, so the best I could do was stand next to Santa holding Hayden. But at 13 months, how many times do you need to see the man in red?

On Tuesday we had a class on making our lives easier during deployment, and I got to do a little of my volunteer work. I'm the volunteer coordinator for our unit, which involves a lot of emailing to get people to register in our system and log hours. But this month we began our volunteer of the month program, and it was a ton of fun to recognize some of our outstanding volunteers. They work so hard, and it's nice to show some appreciation.

On Wednesday I got a quick haircut and ran some errands while Hayden spent a couple hours in daycare. Later in the evening we got to spend time with Kat, whose wedding we attended in September of last year. Shortly after their wedding, the Mingos headed to Ft. Bliss and had an adorable baby, Colin. Colin and Hayden enjoyed a little time together and then we met some more of our friends for dinner at Delphi, a Greek restaurant. The food and wine were great, and it was fun to catch up with old friends.

Unfortunately we had to cancel all our weekend plans since Hayden is sick, but babies just need a break sometime! We've been running pretty hard and I think Hayden's body was just too worn out. So instead we're enjoying the quiet at home and I hope to get in a little scrapbooking and watch some new movies while my little man rests up!
