Phases of life

Our little family has entered a new, not entirely welcome, phase of life - deployment. Daddy left two weeks ago and William and I miss him dearly. It truly is the pits living apart, but we know that in the long run our lives will be enriched by this experience. Our greatest sorrow is all the developments Josh will miss in William's early life. Fortunately, we have cell phones, digital cameras, email, Skype, and of course, the blog to help us keep in touch. I have such respect for families who have been separated without these modern conveniences. Technology is an amazing thing. Our little family has also entered a new, very welcome, phase of life - belly laughs! Josh and I have been waiting and waiting for our little dude to start laughing out loud. I knew it would be cute, even adorable, but I had no idea of the joy it would inspire in me. I literally could listen to this laugh all day long. :) Daddy, this one's for you...
