Well amazingly enough, Dietrich received a week's worth of leave from the Army. So he took the earliest flight he could and spent a short four days at home before taking off this morning to drive back to Augusta, Georgia where he will be stationed at Fort Gordon for the next five months. When all is said and done he will have been in training for 15 months. Of course that is if nothing else goes wrong. Knowing our luck, something will. But it was wonderful having him home. He was able to dig out a box of clothes for Olive out of our storage unit that I had not so smartly packed away. I thought for sure he would be home to stay before she grew into the 9 and 12 month size clothes, but unfortunately that is not going to be the case. He also found a box of toys so it has been a little bit like Christmas at our house.
We went skiing Monday and even got Eden on a pair of skis for her first time. She was excited to put the skis and boots on, but didn't have a whole lot of fun when we actually got her going down the mountain. Maybe next season.
It took a little while for Olive to warm up to her dad, and she did just in time for him to leave again. It's been tough being apart, but we are able to talk to each other every day and we have a lot to be grateful for.
