Woohoooo! Naval Flight Officer it is !


Of course, James and John Paul want the fiercest looking fighter on the blog!! Tom reports that all his company got the billet they wanted. Those that wanted marine pilot, got it --the one that wanted marine groud, got it. Rich Pruce got Navy Seal, etc. The celebration began immediatley with those that got marines shaving their heads. Tommy had to help with that, until a buddy of his told him he had a flight suit in his room. Tom just had to go put it on! Once he was in proper garb he made his phone calls. What fun! AMGD







Here comes Tommy!




getting closer...







Ta da!






See how well he looks with the sword!

I'm A Big Kid Now!-- (sort of)




Patch continues to get bigger and interested in new things. Last Saturday when the weather was absolutely beautiful, we went for a stroller ride to the park. This was the first time that I sat Patch upright in the stroller. I was so proud of him for being a "big boy." As I was walking through the neighborhood, I kept wondering if people were noticing my grown up child... I was so excited. Patch also had his first ride in the park swings. I wasn't sure if he would be big enough, but he was! It took him a few pushes to get used to it, but then took to it like a pro.

He has also recently discovered his bouncer, which he LOVES. His little legs go wild and he starts baby-talking up a storm. Mike and I will just watch and laugh when he is playing away. Being a mom is FUN!

Here was Simon during that sleepless night:
