The Alexander Family

While all of you are aware Isaac and I are back in Michigan while Aric is in Minnesota, working hard, providing for us and working on making his way back here with us full time. It is a slow and not so fun process but we are making it work. I was terrified to come back here with out him but being back I have learned a lot about my self. I learned I am not as independent as I like to believe I am, I learned that I can do a lot of things I didn't know I could (this does not include building a ginger bread house) and that Isaac and I need Aric back at home to complete our family. In the mean time we are making it work and our sacrifice isn't as large as many others who can't talk to their family members daily, can't face time with them every night and don't have the luxury of knowing he/she isn't in danger. Aric will be home for ten days in December, one weekend in January and one weekend in February and hopefully a few more times in between. One the weather

Well it is that time again, we will be leaving Minnesota and going back to Michigan. It isn't an ideal move because Aric will be spending a lot of time in MN while we are in MI but the good news is that we are getting back to our friends, family and our home!! We had some good times here in MN: We will see you later Minnesota!!

Isaac had his 4 year check up today, passed hearing and vision tests, weighs 32.2 lbs (with clothes on) and is 38.7 in tall. He had to get two shots but he did awesome!!
