Christmas and more!

Christmas was loads of fun. we went back to ct to spend it with aarons family. Trevor came home from his mission. while we were there it literally dumped snow everywhere so we spend christmas morning sledding. aj wasnt too excited about it but we all loved to watch grandma go down the hill...i laughed so hard i almost peed my pants!

once we got back from our little vacation we bought a new car, a jeep commander, and went to Atlanta to the aquarium (thats where the other pics were taken) aj loves Loves LOVES the aquarium. and it was a really good one too. they had a lot of stuff i have never seen before.

other then that school has started for aaron and he has been busy busy busy! he has school for 8 hours a day, at least 3 hours of studying, and then they also have to do tons of extra stuff so they can have stuff for their "brag sheet". (basically a resume but it says all the reasons why they are a good officer like all the community service they have done and networking type stuff) it is pretty hard to have him gone but hopefully it will all be worth it and we will get the duty station we want!

aj is just crazy big and generally crazy! i cant even tell you all the words he knows now. it just blows my mind that he can talk so much and understand what i am saying back. he has started gymboree, which he does three times a week. he loves it. he is not to excited about the parachute time they do at the end but he just loves being able to climb on everything. he loves the bubble time. they are sugar bubbles so they dont pop as easily and he will run around and try to catch them on his finger...i love to see his concentration as he works so hard to get one to float right to him.

As for me and amelia we are still surviving. contractions have been pretty bad since the accident and i really dont think i will make it all the way to my due date. i have had a few nights were i am ready to go to the hospital because they are so close...its just so hard for me to drag everyone out of bed and go when i know they will just probably stop by the time i get there or they wont be able to do anything. i have my dr appointment tomorrow and they are going to tell me if i am dilating at all or just suffering in misery for funs-ies! the hardest part for me is that i cant really hold or play with aj anymore. thats been really tough when he asks me to pick him up and i cant cuz i know i will just start having contractions or am having them....i just want to hold off till like mid-february so i dont have to worry about her being premature. we are trying our best to get all ready so that she can come anytime she wants.

i've made lots of new friends in church and with the other navy wives...we have a really good group of wives here and i really have fun visiting with them. its nice to talk to other women who are going through the same stuff aaron and i are going through.
