Just some thoughts

I don't have much to blog about. Today, we got around to hanging up some decor in the kids rooms. I hope to paint them soon. Jacob wants to paint his room a bright green. Emily wants a rosey pink. I don't want either of those colors. I'm thinking resale. Those colors don't appeal to most people. So we'll have to come to a compromise.
We also had a chance to catch up with our dear friends the Gerke's. We haven't spoke with them since they left Okinawa and the military for the real world. They are expecting a baby boy around January 30th. I'm so happy for them. They have wanted another baby for so long. Who knows maybe Mason could share his B-day with their new baby. Anyway CONGRATULATIONS to Chris and Neva!

Ever Wonder?

Have you ever wondered what your child would look like if he stuck his finger in a light socket?
I imagine it would look something like this. See above picture. ha ha ha!!!!!

We'll get it in shape

Here are a couple of pics of our"work in progress". The house is 20 years old and had barely been updated. We are painting and planning. The people who lived her before liked lighthouses. There was lighthouse border in the downstairs bathroom and dinning room. The blue strip in the peach dinning room was lighthouses.Yeah, the peach isn't staying. When we originally looked at the house there were light houses everywhere. We have a long list of projects. We'll probably get it all finished and then it will be time to sell it.

Practice Practice Practice

This one is being posted for the Brown Family. Although I never had the pleasure of hearing either of you play, Mason sure loves tickling (banging)the ivories.

Pics of Mason

First day of school

Here they are off to school. My 4th grader and 2nd grader.

We are here

We are getting settled in here in Chesapeake. The house is in total disarray, boxes all over the place. We have a bigger house but less closets. Where to put it all?
Emily and Jacob are in their 3rd week of school. They seem to really like it there. I 'll post pictures soon.
Mason is pulling himself up on the furniture and clapping his hands. He's growing up and I don't want him to.
We had a nice little vacation at my mothers. We saw family member we haven't seen in three years. We went to some county fairs the kids really enjoyed that. It was nice to visit with my grandmother. And Mason and her got to meet eachother. Well Mason got to meet everyone.
Im glad to be in our new home. Although I miss Oki greatly. I'm sure I will love it here too.

My kids

My three great kids. Emily, Jacob and Mason. I love you !
