February: John left for Deployment. I didn't know if he would be home for the birth of our child, but with fervent prayer and faith, he was home just in time!
Last photo we took before he left on Deployment
March: We found out Eleanor was a girl! It was such a special time, finding out the gender of our baby with all our friends and family here in VA. We even skyped with some friends and family for the big reveal! =)

Michelle sang some songs, I didn't have a picture of me, so I thought she was good enough.

This was just moments before John got off the plane and back in my arms =)
