The Gerlach Family

      My name is Brittany. I have been married to Jacob Gerlach for a little over two years! We have a beautiful girl named Kairi Nikole and she is almost two years old now! We are expecting our next, a boy, named Aiden Jacob sometime next month! We are all excited for him to finally be here!
      I wonder how Kairi will act when Aiden comes, i hope she'll be a good big sister to her brother! She always walks around with her babies and tries to feed them and she pats their backs and puts them to sleep. How cute. Haha. Kairi is quite the little sneak though! Yesterday morning she finally figured out how to open doors and she left her bottle in grandpa's room, put buttons in the toilet and threw grandma's jewelry all over the floor! I tried finding that bottle all day and i could not find it anywhere! So now Kairi has a lock on her door! 

      Jacob is in the national guard. He has now been in for three years and two months now. It's been really hard for us. He's gone quite a bit. He is gone one weekend a month, has to go to a two week training once a year, last year he went to Cambodia for three months, in 2009 he went to AIT training and jump school and was gone for four months . . . the first four months of our marriage and he got home for the last month and a half of my pregnancy . . . and in 2008 he went to basic training for two months! It's hard being away from each other, but that's life. One day he'll be out and he won't be sent away anywhere!
      I stay home with Kairi and take care of her and play with her all day long! She is very tiring . . . especially with me being nine months pregnant! I write a journal for myself and Aiden and Kairi. I make scrapbooks and i read. I'm also writing a book . . . that i'm finishing very slowly. Haha.
