Some big changes have occurred in the past few weeks. The day before Aubry and me were to leave for Utah Joey was rushed into emergency surgery on his leg. He had another surgery a few days later and spent a week total in the hospital. It was a massive infection in his leg that spread all the way to the bone, they believe that a older injury from Afghanistan is what caused it. He is now home and is on IV antibiotics for the next four to five weeks. We still do not know the full impact of the damage or the surgery, quite a bit of muscle and tissue were removed and in the process nerves were damaged. The infection is gone and now it is wait and see if his leg will return to normal. For the time being his school and recruiter packet are on hold.

Despite all this, while Joey was in the hospital I found out that I was pregnant. After almost 4 years of wanting another baby, this is the month that it happens. I am just now getting excited about the idea. When I found out I was to stressed to really enjoy it. Aubry is very excited about the new baby, only problem is, is that she wants a sister and is so against the idea of a brother.

It seems that we will be in New York for awhile longer, but were are together and will be bringing a new baby into the world sometime in late November.
