Jeff has been able to contact me using a pre-paid phone card the last couple of days. We can only talk for about 15 minutes but it's so much more than I ever expected. He started his journey to Afghanistan early in the week and is currently stuck at an air force base overseas. His flights into Afghanistan keep getting canceled and it seems as though maybe it just isn't a big priority to get the advanced party where they need to be. Jeff is dealing with this is his own Jeff way. He's hanging out but very frustrated because this isn't a bump in the road he expected. So he has virtually nothing to do and cannot complete any of the tasks assigned to him as a member of the advanced party. My heart goes out to him because he just wants to get on with this. He's in limbo and that just sucks!
Here on the homefront things seem to be going well. We had our annual Women of Faith conference this year. I made it through most of the two day event. I had to bow out of the 1st night's activities because I was SOO tired and my feet were SOO swollen. Today went all right though and it was nice to spend time with my mom and her friend, Tammy. Seth got to stay with Grandpa Haywood for the two days we were gone. This had to be an extra special treat for both of them! Grandpa is just a HUGE angel in Seth's eyes and just can't get enough of him. They seemed to have fun. We went to dinner after the day's events and Seth was SOOO wound up! He would flirt with everyone that walked by and seemed to have our waitress wrapped around his finger! He is getting so talkative I just can't believe it! Today when we came home I asked him how his day was (which is something I always try to ask) and today he actually said "Gooood" with this little twang! It was hilarious! Next week starts a new journey for Seth. The new school year starts on Monday which means new teachers and a new classroom. I am hoping he handles these changes with ease but I sure am nervous about it! Seth's previous teachers knew his situation and were able to work with him through some of the "emotional" struggles Seth had. He got lots of extra love and he definately loved his Miss Ammy. I just hope that this change doesn't completely throw him for a loop!
I'll try to keep things updated about Jeff. I know he's got lots of love being sent his way and lots of people are praying for him. Both are greatly appreciated!

Can you believe that in 28 days (or so) we are going to be blessed with another beautiful bundle!?!
