The girls started school twice a week this week and I am so grateful for that! They enjoy structure so much and it has allowed me some time to be with "myself". Boy had I forgotten how nice that is to just worry about me for a few hours! Alison cannot wait for next Tuesday!
We had to send Daddy off at the airport on Sunday for a week in Vegas. We were not ready to let him go yet but duty called! He enjoyed seeing the city lights but was ready to come home and surprised us a day early! We had an exciting week to fill him in on.......
Before heading off to Sin City, we sucessfully finished our living room and had our first dinner party on Saturday. It was a great time. Matt made his world famous boston butt with special sauce and I had to do very little to prepare this tasty meal which is always a plus! Should have taken a picture....
Our friend Amy had almost a dozen of fertilized eggs that we had been watching over the past few weeks. We had a science lesson each visit to her house! Despite all of our efforts to see this lil fellow hatching, we caught this chick when it was still wet and clumsy!
New friends, clumsy together!
Mr. Mike (our Beaufort neighbor) continues to spoil my girls from afar! He sent Alison money to replace the bike that we had to leave behind due to the move. She loves have a brand new bike complete with princess stickers and baby carrier. She flies on this machine! Now if only the WIND would stop so we can go outside and play. Best part about this bike, Ali now rides it to get the mail at the end of the street. She takes great pride in this new chore!
Today was a special day! Ballet lessons began and Madeline was able to start them with her big sissy! I was so proud to watch my 2 year old sit quietly, follow directions and dance around the room when prompted. If only she responded that well to my voice!! This morning made my day! Even better, Daddy flew home a day early and got to see his ballerinas off to their lessons! There may have been a tear shed by both of us at some point!
Too cute for words
Our not so little girl! Where did the last 5 years go?? She makes me so proud to be her Momma!
TGIF! Glad it is Friday although Matt has a full fly day tomorrow. We will be taking Ali to pre-registration for kindergarten then off to our HAIL to Top Gun. I am looking forward to meeting everyone with their "better half" and will tackle the challenge of trying to remember everyone's name, call sign and who they 'belong' to! Oh the joys of being the "new couple". Fallon is becoming home and I am so happy to say that. I will always miss Beaufort as you cannot beat the people and the beauty of that place. We are meeting wonderful people here and starting to see the beauty in tumbleweed, desert brown and lots of cows! The mountains are breathtaking and surround us no matter where we go. It was so neat driving into Reno last night and seeing all of the NEON lights from the Casinos! This is our home and our story continues.......
PS. Saw a funny sign last week that sums up my days as a stay at home mom. May have to go back and purchase. It read.... GONE CRAZY...be right back! Too perfect! Have a great weekend!
