September

I was able to go and see Cole in Seattle, WA Sept. 2-5 for a few days before he left the US for deployment. I loved it! It was so much fun! I hadn't seen him for a while since he has been in training. Seattle was beautiful. I was able to meet some of the people in his attachment, too. It was hard leaving Seattle to go back home. (Especially because his birthday was the next day)
Cole made Dax a moose at Build-a-Bear that says "Dax, I love you!" It is so sweet. :) Dax loves it and calls it Daddy. He will sit and push the button over and over. Every time he does, he has a huge grin on his face. One day, Dax dropped the moose and said, "Uh oh, Daddy fall!" It was pretty funny :)
