A bit homesick

Lately ive been doing a lot of thinking with the holidays approaching. The holidays always seem to do that. So far this year isn’t going quite as we planned. My sisters and brother in law and niece and nephew were going to come up for thanksgiving but weren’t able to and we planned on going up to Texas for a few days during Christmas to spend some time with Ryan’s parents and sister and then fly back home and have spend Christmas morning here. Unfortunately our leave kind of got messed up so now we are not able to go to Texas and we are more than disappointed. We aren’t used to not spending the holidays with our family. And now that we have Noah its even harder. We have so many amazing people in our life that we want Noah to grow up with, Noah has only been able to see everyone once and that’s hard, he was a newborn then and has grown so much. He smiles and laughs and he is beginning to talk, he has the sweetest personality and we want to share him with all of our family and grow up with them but it seems more difficult then we planned but we plan on making the best of it which means lots of phone calls, pictures and skype dates. It may not be what we were hoping for but we are going to make the best of it.
