The Aubrey Effect

Aubrey and I have been hanging out at my parents house for a while to help pass the time until Matt comes home.  We've had a great time hanging out and playing, but the Aubrey effect is in full force!

Mom and Dad have had a couple snow days so we've had extra fun playing.

Aubrey found a sneaky way to get an extra bath even if it was in the kitchen sink.  

Diaper blowout!

This is what she typically looks like around 9:30pm after we've been trying to get her to go to sleep for an hour.  Just too much excitement to go to bed.

 

Matt is starting the 4 day journey back to Whiteman today and so there's a good chance we'll get to see him on Friday night even if he does have to work till Sunday.  I can't wait!! 

This is the approximate route (I'm not sure exactly, but this is close) they took getting to Boise and will go the same way to get back trying to avoid the weather in the mountains.  They may miss everything in the mountains, but if the weather doesn't clear up in Missouri that may be the biggest issue.  I'm praying for no delays!!

Idaho Update

Only 15 days till Matt comes home from Idaho!  He's doing good and has passed both day and night gunnery.  He got to fly one of the Apaches to Idaho.  They took quite the route.  The left from Whiteman AFB (near Kansas City) and flew down to Texas, over to Arizona, to Utah and finally to Idaho.  Their route just happened to go right over the Grand Canyon.  The reason they went that way was because they didn't want to cross the Rockies in winter and get weathered in and not get to Idaho on time.

Don't worry he wasn't the one flying when these pictures were taken.
