Frequent Flyer

We were in Arkansas to be with my mom when she had her surgery and we were planning on staying a while. This trip to Arkansas was Bentley's sixth round trip plane ride. He has been an excellent traveler. Even on our 30 drive there and back at Christmas he did great. I am so thankful for this considering we live so far away from our families. After my mom's surgery, she was doing so well, we decided to go back to California to visit Paul for two weeks before he left for his training. While I was there we went apartment searching, so we will probably be moving in May. The housing market is not so great out there so apartments are offering great deals. I'm ready to have my own washer and dryer.


Now we are back in Arkansas until Paul is finished with his training. We are enjoying being able to go places during the day and having lots of people to visit. This is the longest we have been away from home so the time change is really throwing us off. Normally when we're here I keep Bentley on CA time and just move his schedule forward two hours, but he's been slowing adjusting and now is on AR time.


My mom is doing great. She has had 3 chemo treatments and is handling them great. Her work had a party for her the other day and everyone wore matching shirts showing their support for her.

Bentley is growing and learning new things every day. He weighs about 22 lbs and is 30.5 inches tall. His only consistant words are daddy, puppy, kitty, and shoot (this is my fault, I say it all the time). He does some sign language so I'm working on more signs to help him comunicate. He loves being outside, he would stay out there all day. Now that we are going to have a washer and dryer in our apartment I am switching to cloth diapers. I am doing it part-time now since we're out and about a lot. So far, so good, and they're just too cute.
