Halloween

Madison and Gianna. Madison is Gisselle from Enchanted. This is the only pic I could get of Gianna in her dress!! We went to a halloween party and then a trick or treating on a hay ride in Madison's friend's neighborhood. Thats him in teh battleship trooper costume!

Madison was student of the week!

This was a big deal...she got to do all her paper work in COLORED markers instead of boring pencil and she was the teacher's helper all week! She also got to sit at her own cool desk!

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!
