another stella day: 51 weeks down, 1 more to go?
http://anotherstelladay.blogspot.com/2010/11/51-down-1-more-to-go.html
Monday, November 8, 2010. 51 weeks down, 1 more to go? Jim left a year ago next week. And I can't wait for him to get back. The countdown is at days now, not even weeks! So, so exciting. Today Eli and I went to welcome some good friends home. The flights have been coming in and Facebook has been a-buzz with reunion pictures and tear-inducing statuses. Eli with some recently returned friends. He can't get home soon enough! But I know he's working on it. Because I've gotten word that he's probably on a...

another stella day: so much to be done
http://anotherstelladay.blogspot.com/2010/11/so-much-to-be-done.html
Tuesday, November 9, 2010. So much to be done. Image and pad available by finchandhawk. So what does a girl do to fill the days before her man comes home after a year? Man, it's a long list. Partially because the list started before he left. There have been things that I'd planned to do while he was gone, you know, to pass the time. They are still sitting staring at me. Really? You've had how many days, Karen, and that pile you vowed to go through is in its same exact spot? More on that later.). Dont wor...

another stella day: the east has been good to us
http://anotherstelladay.blogspot.com/2010/02/east-has-been-goof-to-us.html
Sunday, February 7, 2010. The east has been good to us. Eli and I have been back east for 63 days and it's been a whirlwind. We've seen friends and family galore. And now we've seen snow. Lots of it. And like any good mother, I made sure to take the obligatory kid-who-can-barely-move-inside-his-snow-suit pictures. We couldn't get any smiles out of him, but I assure you the giggles returned once he thawed inside. Of course, we could always get stationed in Alaska. February 8, 2010 at 7:09 AM. He is such a...

another stella day: to you and yours
http://anotherstelladay.blogspot.com/2010/01/to-you-and-yours.html
Saturday, January 2, 2010. To you and yours. As I was enjoying some quality son time a moment ago, the funniest and most predictable thing happened. He was naked and cute and "airing out". I hear that's good for babies. I was looking into his blue eyes and just loving every ounce of him. And loving our family, as spread out as we are. And then I got wet. Thankfully I have some quick reflexes. And a handily placed diaper. But we will now be doing a load of wash that consists of. A pair of yoga pants.

another stella day: road trippin' again
http://anotherstelladay.blogspot.com/2010/02/road-trippin-again.html
Monday, February 15, 2010. After a successful first leg with my grandfather keeping me awake at the wheel, Christie has joined the cross-country crusade. It's been an amazing few months with family, but El Paso calls. And though I never thought I'd say it, I'm looking forward to getting back. Tomorrow we'll leave Tennessee and hopefully make some good time and sprint to Texas for the night. We'll see how it goes. We'll see you on the other side. Stay safe and stay blogging! February 16, 2010 at 12:53 PM.

another stella day: from Jim, with love
http://anotherstelladay.blogspot.com/2010/02/from-jim-with-love.html
Monday, February 8, 2010. From Jim, with love. There are two things that make any deployment go faster for a soldier overseas. Facetime with the fam, and goodies in the mail. But Eli doesn't care about any of that. He will spend his first year thinking his dad lives in a box. But at least that box has a face and smile. Not like that archaic and impersonal thing we used to know called a telephone. As for the care packages, my husband has been the grateful recipient of many. Thanks to you. First and foremo...

another stella day: Army-Navy game
http://anotherstelladay.blogspot.com/2009/12/army-navy-game.html
Sunday, December 13, 2009. I know I owe you all many updates on the happenings of the Grube home, including a 5-day cross-country trip that landed Eli, Roxy and I in Maryland for a few months. But Saturday was a big day. So I need to share. I grew up in a Navy family. A family that holds the most important day of the year as the Army-Navy game, the biggest football rivalry in the world. Or at least that's what I was led to believe growing up. This year as no exception. Did you follow that? And he really ...

another stella day: home at last
http://anotherstelladay.blogspot.com/2010/11/home-sweet-home.html
Monday, November 15, 2010. Words do no justice to how amazing it is to have the family back together again. Saturday brought him home, and it couldn't have been a more perfect day. Even though the flight was delayed by a few hours, it played well into Eli's nap schedule. I was able to get myself all prettied up while Eli got his beauty rest. Of course, the preparation started the night before while I cleaned up the last little bits of the house. And then at one point found myself sobbing (sobbing? I had ...
