It is already May! I am sorry to have abandoned our blog for so long.

Sydney is now 25 inches and long and a little over 13 pounds! She is six months old. She is doing wonderful. She eats babyfood, sits up with assistance, moves around on the floor, waves bye-bye and says ba-ba. She has the most beautiful smile and loves to talk. Back in January she got her ears pierced. The whole process went really well. I'm sure she will be sprouting teeth and crawling around in no time. She has been to the Colorado River several times, the Laughlin River Run, Zion National Park and a few other really cool places. These days you can find her hanging out in a baby pool in our front yard, in her jumpy toy, walker or moving around on the floor with her toys. She is a sweaty baby and is most comfortable in a diaper. Sydney is most fond of her little cousin Kollin, who is two years old. ( Besides her mommy! ) He gives her toys, kisses and talks to her. She has an ear to ear smile whenever he is around!

Back in March Paul came to Kingman for two weeks. We had a great time together as a family. We had a planned trip to Utah where we stayed at a bed and breakfast. While we were in Utah we checked out some art galleries, walked Zion National Park and ate some amazing food.We spent the following week in Kingman visting with both families. We went hiking and bolwing. The two weeks were great but shortly lived. Sydney became very attached to Paul. I'm sure they will have no problems falling in love upon his return!

Paul is doing well in Iraq. He has recently been stationed at a new base. I will try and get him to write a blog on what is going on over in his world as long as he is not too busy! God Bless everyone :)

SCRATCH THAT

As soon as I get comfortable with the idea of moving and after I have finally found something positive about it, I get hit with something else! I am actually going to move back to Speicher instead of going to Mosul. The address is:

SPC Roberts, Paul D.
361 PSYOP TPD 1275
COB Speicher
APO, AE 09393

I am supposed to come home on leave on the 15th but I will not find final verification on that for a few days. I should be coming home for 14 days but again that is not verified yet. I love you all and thank you for your continuing prayers for me. God hears them and I feel them. God bless you all! I hope to see some familiar faces soon!

Time to move.....AGAIN

Well life changes a lot over here in Iraq. It is very stressful but I will survive. I will be moving too Mosul in about 2 weeks. Mosul is in the Ninewah province. This provincial name is scattered all throughout the bible. It was a very wicked city in ancient times. You may also remember the story of Jonah and the whale. This story is from the Ninewah province as well. Well Life has been good. Thanks for all the love and packages that you all have been sending me! Everything means so much to me! Especially pictures! They are awesome to remind me of home. As far as I know I am still scheduled to go home in about 47 days! I guess we will find out sooon enough. Well as life is crazy busy I do not have much time to blog a ton on here so I must be going. Just know that I love you all. God be with you. I will talk to you all soon.
