This last set of pics is daddy and his girls today AND also our VERY mischievous cat, Cheyenne. beside Madison's spaghetti we also have found her in our sink and eating the hamburger crumbs from our foreman grill at about two in the morning last night. I guess I had better work on my housekeeping!!

Trying to keep the pics updated for the grandparents!!

Madison had orientation for kindergarten and was pretty excited to find out that her teacher's name is...(drumroll please) Mrs. Madison! She is feeling better after spending the morning in her new classroom but was disappointed that none of her friends from preschool were put in the same class as her. I'm sure she will make new friends in the first minute! (She also got a new haircut if you can't tell by the picture!)
We went to go see Star Wars today and they did a good job making it a kids movie. Madison has watched all the originals with her daddy and was very excited to go today. ( i think movie popcorn and skittles is a big part of it though!) I'm not sure Gianna thought much of the movie since after the first ten minutes she fell asleep. Maybe when she's older!!

I can't believe how Gianna has Grown!

Here is a pic of Gianna when she was first born and from the other day at 7.5 months...They grow up too fast!

My Cross-Country to Seattle

Hi guys. While Jen and the kids were gone I took advantage of taking a cross-country flight to Whidbey Island which is near Seattle. The crisp, cool 70 degrees was a pleasant change to the sweat your butt off-115 deg heat indexes we've been having here in FL. Enjoy the pics.

The plane I actually flew in.


My actual flight into Whidbey, we flew through these mountains.

The scenery outside Whidbey Island.

My fellow students, Strieby (USMC), Flood (USAF), Me, and Kappes (USMC). They are all Lieutenants, except of course me...I'm a Captain. This is on a Ferry while driving to Seattle.



On top of the Space Needle.

This is called the Strait of Juan De Fuca. It's on the departure end of runway 25 at Whidbey.

Me next to an EA-6B Prowler.

Soon after climb out on the way home, we passed Mt St Helen.

One of our stop offs on the way home, Grand Junction, CO.

Back In Florida

It was a great two weeks home! It was super to see those of you that were able to meet up with me and I sure did miss those of you whom we just couldn't make it happen! There is always so much to do and so many people to see and never enough time. Some exciting things happened while we were home! Gianna started crawling and standing and now she just won't stop! She also FINALLY cut her first tooth just this morning! She also had her first ride on the park swings! Madison had her first lemonade stand and had a whole neighborhood of customers...maybe a future buisness woman! (hey, with enough sales maybe she can send herself to college!!!) Matt and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary and tommorow I'll be another year older...
Anyways, enjoy some pictures from our trip home to Boston...
