Christmas 2011 part 1

Christmas is such a wonderful time of year! Family being together may not sound like fun to some but here at the Vaughn house it is just what the doctor ordered. The last year has been quite a roller coaster ride. I returned from deployment early to give Marissa a helping hand. I worked at the Navy tour office which gave us some much needed family time together. Marissa had found a job but it proved to costly in terms of finding daycare for our children. Thus she had to forgo the working world. Her and I have both decided while extra money is nice our children being raised by Mom is priceless. This year saw many blessings in the form of Ryan and I made E-6.

Vaughn Family Update for FEB

Ryan is 6 weeks old now and that also means that we have made it through 6 weeks of deployment. There has been some rough words but just the stress of missing each other. I know our family cannot wait to be re-united again but we have in faith in God and he alone will help us get through this sacrifice. Its funny how many times God reminds you just how short life is and who should be important in life. To many times we all lose focus on what really matters and then God throws in a wake up call. I have recently had another wake up call to re-focus and rearrange my priorities.

Marissa- I love you and am so proud to call you my wife.

Jacob- You are the man of the house and have done a good job holding the title. I constantly hear how well you are behaving and how much help you give mom.

Matthew- My little guy. We have a very unique bond and I think we both know it.

Ryan- I wish so badly to meet you and hold you. I trust God will make the time go by until I can hold you in my arms.

DEPLOYMENT 2011

The Vaughn family is a couple weeks into Deployment 2011. Marissa has had Ryan and is home healthy. Jacob and Matthew are learning how to be big brothers again. Matthew is quite perplexed that he is not the “baby” anymore. Paul is missing the family but slowly getting through the pain and sadness day by day.

Marissa and I have been sent another blessing. We have learned Marissa is 5 weeks pregnant, she is due around January 23. What a perfect anniversary gift from my beautiful wife.

November

Today we here in Virginia had our first frost. Marissa and I had a fire going last night because it was so cold. Here is the update for the Vaughn Family. Looks like God has blessed us with an opportunity for Marissa. This opportunity gives us a legitimate shot at making it to a Frania Christmas.

DOCTORS…DOCTORS…DOCTORS

Marissa is in pain again today and it appears the doctors forgot some placenta in the womb. This will hopefully be corrected tomorrow at her OB/GYN appt. The rest of the family is sick with a nasty little cold but appear to be on the recovery. This sickness is the reason the blog posts have been a little slow.
