PROWLERS!!!

Hey everyone! I just want to let everyone know I got EA-6B Prowlers, which is the jet I wanted, so needless to say we're pretty excited. The Prowler is the gray jet here. I will now move on to T-45 Goshawks to complete my training here in Pensacola. I will earn my precious "Wings of Gold" by the end of January. The T-45 is the white and orange jet here. After I wing, I will go to Whidbey Island, WA (an hour N of Seattle) to train in the Prowler for about a year. After I am a certified "ECMO" (Electronic Counter-Measures Officer) my duty station will be Cherypoint, NC which is actually 45 min from where we used to live. Thanks again for all your support and prayers. We'll have Halloween pictures up sometime this weekend. Take care. Matt>

Gianna is a walker!

So, Madison was an early walker, took her first steps at 8 months, and was totally walking (and running) at 10 months. I was HOPING that Gianna wasn't going to be so adventurous! Not because i dont want her to walk, but because babies dont stay babies for very long and walking is one of those toddler milestones! But Gianna started walking a week ago and LOVES IT! So my second baby girl is a walker at 9 and a half months. Now she just needs to grow some hair!

I have lots of updates to get on this blog for you but this was the most exciting. I'll post otehrs when i have a sec!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANNY!

The pics I promised!

Its been crazy here, (as usual!). Matt has 21 more events until he selects his aircraft and always seems to be out flying! I have started helping out in the weight room at the University down here, Madison is always busy with school, dance and all her friends, and of course Gianna is always busy exploring her world and trying to walk.
This weekend we went to some Fall Festivals, which can be hard to get into teh spirit of things when its 90 degrees and the leaves are all still on the trees! We had a good time though and Madison tried out the rock climbing wall.
Enjoy teh picyures from the last couple of weeks!

Gianna's appointment

Hey everyone! For those of you who have been waiting to hear from us, I wanted to let you all know that Gianna's cardiology appointment went well today. The murmur is not a result of a heart defect! Yea! The doctor said she is healthy and beautiful! Thanks for all your prayers!!

new pics coming soon!

almost 9 months!

I meant to do this a month ago, but you know how life can get in the way of some plans!! Here is a picture of Madison in September 2003. She is almost 8 months old. Here is a picture of Gianna Septmber 2008. She is almost 9 months old. I would put up a picture of me, but I look the exact same..i have not aged a bit! (HA! Nice try, right??)
