Jeffrey's Birthday

Last week our little man turned 2! It was so bittersweet for so many reasons...
1. Sad that Joel could not be here (luckily Jeffy is so little he really won't remember)
2. Happy that Joel is coming home next week!
3. Sad that my little man is growing up it goes way too fast
4. Happy to see what new adventures Jeffrey will be taking us on

I had a little party for Jeffrey on Saturday we did a western theme, it was so much fun! Cowboy hats, guns, sheriff badges, and cowboy tattoos could it get any better. Jeffrey was a typical 2 year old not really into anything just kind of doing his own thing but after a few hours past he warmed up and enjoyed himself!
Nanny had given Jeffrey a pair of Toy Story Cowboy boots and a real leather holster with a toy gun. Jeffrey loved the gun not a fan of the holster quite yet but soon enough. The boots are still taking some practice walking in at first he was really scared of them but before I know he won't want to wear anything else.

Joel had his last officially week of training he was out in the field all week, practicing all that they have learned over these past 12 weeks. The communication is still the same very minimal, I have gotten 2 phones since we saw Joel back in October. I was really hoping for a update or phone call this week but we all know how that goes.
However in better news, a week from Thursday I will be reunited again!!!
Jeffrey will be staying back this time some good family friends of ours will be watching him, we felt that this was the best situation for the Ceremony and Graduation festivities (trying to sit through a formal ceremony with a toddler is next to impossible) Joel should be coming home that weekend here's hoping still no word of when and where.

I can't believe this chapter is almost over it went so fast, I am almost is shock of Joel coming home! But oh boy I can't wait to see him again!

Here are a few pictures from Jeffrey's party:
