New England

Chris and I try to savor every awesome moment in life, knowing that things could change in a heartbeat. A major change is right around the corner, courtesy of the Air Force with another in one year. Chris is leaving for Korea in a couple of weeks. He's been downloading our home videos to his computer so he can watch and watch and watch them again. I, on the other hand, have been trying to take pictures of each and every little thing--not so much for him, but for our kiddos. Our time in Massachusetts will be gone in one year and although I am excited about our next assignment, I am going to miss so many things that are truly "New England." One thing is the ice cream. Before living out here the only ice cream I'd known were chain stores or the ice cream available in grocery stores. My eyes were opened. We've frequented several little ice cream places, including the Ben and Jerry's factory in VT. Our new favorite place is Meola's Wayside Ice Cream. It is within walking distance from our new home, which Claire loves and it has awesome ice cream, which I love. We don't give Mya sweets or really junk of any kind, but we let her try some ice cream tonight. She was in heaven.

There is a Meola's right down the road from my house....delicious!! JP won't go because one summer he asked the girl to add an extra scoop to his cone and she wouldn't because she didn't know how to charge him for it...I on the other hand go all the time.

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
