Daniel has sixty-nine days of leave (vacation-time) right now. To put that into perspective, it totals what the military gives us as vacation time for two years and four months. This is sick. He has two weeks of leave to use before October first so, next week is mandatory vacation. And we are all very excited! We have no where to go, no one to see - I am very much looking forward to the freedom this allows. I haven't got any expectations to get blown out of the water, though I do hope Daniel can really relax . Recruiting is a hard job to dis-engage yourself from. It's very invasive. But, this week is free! I am looking forward to hanging out with my husband, eating dinners together, no late nights at work, and the kids having Daddy around to play with. We may even order pizza and have a movie night!
Sometime this week Eve and I will have a date at the bead store to make necklaces, possibly an anklet and a few pairs of earrings. And I've been eye-ing this swing from IKEA for in Judah's room. So maybe a trip up to Montreal to visit IKEA would be fun. All in all it's going to be a great week, and it starts tonight!

I love the military life don't you! LOL. My hubby has all this leave too and he has decided to take it after I have the baby, so when I go back to work he will stay home with him for a little while. It works out better this way. He doesn't loose his leave and he gets some one on one time with the boys! And I don't have to freak out about daycare/nanny yet! I'm not looking forward to either of those!
I read the post about your daughters date and that is so precious! I still remember my dad taking me to the donut shop on Saturdays and me getting a orange juice and a powdered peanut butter donut while he sipped on his coffee. It is great that she will have those memories.
ENJOY your vacation!
have fun
Enjoy your hubby's leave. Love that swing, too. Looks like lots of fun.
Have fun this coming week with Daniel!
May you have a blessed week together!
Sometimes the best vacations are the ones you don't plan. Hope you guys have a good time.
LOL I just had to laugh, my hubby has to take leave in september or he looses it too LMAO
It's so funny the way the military does things.
Hope you guys have fun :)
Joe pretty much used up all his use or lose leave when we took our 3 wk road trip vacation this summer! He actually has ONE day left he has to use before he deploys though.
Enjoy this time off and having Daniel around!
