Happy one monthiversary!
The kids and I planned to celebrate each month of Chris' deployment with something special, something like a fun dinner out, a hike, early morning bird-watching, something unusal. Gunner and I were going to be at the church retreat at St. Paisius monastery this weekend and Lauren was going to be taking the SAT and staying with Tara and Natalie for the weekend. Not really what I had in mind as a family celebration, but definitely not things we do very often. Except Lauren has the flu. So, we all stayed home, watched Home Alone and ate whatever sounded good. Except I burned Gunner's pizza. Lauren barely touched her chicken noodle soup. Now the cats are sick, too. At least we were able to talk to Chris. You know, this is what makes celebrations like this memorable. And, we can only go up from here!

The retreat at St. Paisius was awesome. We missed you and Gunner, and also Chris, especially when we were trying to figure out what kind of hawk it was that was perched up in one of their large cottonwood trees. It just sat there and looked at us from about 30 feet away. It had a mottled brown breast and gray wings with what looked like white crescents on them. No Chris there to help (and no bird book either).
They did have lots of other good books though. Rowe bought most of them.
