Just a few of the things Bridger has been up to the past couple of days:

Riding in the laundry basket, compliments of his daddy. This is kind of a goofy picture, but the kid loves it. When they're done riding, Bridger pushes the basket around like and makes car noises. Its pretty funny.


Emptying his entire toy box. I guess the good stuff is at the very bottom. This will entertain him for quite a while in the afternoon after his nap.


Today he wanted to make sure that every wipe in the new box was good. So he personally pulled them out one by one to check. What a good helper. He's in his camo gear, all ready for Dad to go hunting.

I'm happy to report that last night I put Bridger in bed, gave him a book to look at (in the mostly dark...), kissed him, said goodnight, and walked out of his room. The crying wasn't instant this time. When it did finally come it only lasted 10 minutes. Then he was out. I love it. Brent still has a hard time (I mean its only been two nights), but I make him stay strong. I feel like I have my nights back. It is lovely.

We're on our way home today. The car is loaded and ready to go. I can't believe that I actually have a couple of hours to spare until Brent is home. I already filled the explorer with gas, and I even stopped by the library to pick up a couple of books. Bridger fell asleep on the way home (to our apartment) which is perfect because he'll sleep on the ride home (to SW Wyoming) today. I hope all that "home" talk wasn't too confusing.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Enjoy conference and the lazy days that come with that, unless you'll be in Salt Lake.

Collette, I am sure your mom has told you, but I am going to be at their house on Saturday. I don't know what your schedule is going to be like this weekend, but hopefully we will run into each other. You know, I have never met Bridger before. If that isn't an incentive to visit Mt. View on Saturday, I don't know what is.

Collette,

Momma G is coming to visit us this weekend, so we can't come up to visit you guys. We talk a lot about visiting your parents, we both love them so much. Have a great time and tell everyone hello.

Dale, that is exactly when I'll be there. Brent will be hunting...unless he gets something today. In that case, he'll be cleaning. We can't wait to see you.
Andrea, yeah, maybe you should come see us. I think Bridger has been missing you. You can bring your brother and his family too, if you want.

I love your family picture. Your little boy is so cute! I'm excited for you. Do you know what you are having?

So, are we going to hear about Brent's hunt and your time in Mountain View? We're waiting...
