Beautiful Day!

Today was only 84 and breezy, very little humidity. We just HAD to go outside! I thought Tristan could handle the drive to Brackenridge Park... I was right. He did cry for a bit on the way home, but fell back asleep. Noah had a blast running around and was really obedient. Noah just seems to know that he has to be extra good now that I have to take care of a baby too. He's been impressing me when we go out. He's still the same crazy wild child at home, though! It's been a lot easier than I thought it would be to travel and do things with both boys. I think Noah is the perfect age and is more of a help than a hindrance.

My friend Amy and I gave each other objects to find with our cameras. I took a few shots for my photo scavenger hunt at the park. I have to find a spooky house, palm trees, lightning bugs, and a neon sign at night. Thus far I've found palm trees :) I didn't realize we had so many palm trees out here until today when I was looking for them. I also snapped a pic of the most fall-like tree I've seen here in Texas. How depressing :/ I miss Ohio!!! I'm having fun today even though I'm pretty tired.

I'm glad Noah is being such a big help :)

If we lived closer we would go to parks together all the time,I'm sure!

I love the last photo of the tree. I was just talking to mom about here in Va the leaves aren't changing or falling off the trees. I miss Ohio with the seasons. It's dissappointing to just have hot, hotter and hottest as a season.

I'm glad you are getting out with both of the boys. I bet it feels good that Noah is behaving so well. It makes you feel like you trained him well haha :)

I guess when you live in Ohio its hard to appreciate all of the seasons all of the time. You are right though we do have great fall weather. Although you are not missing anything right now its been very hot.

Very bad day today

I got a horrible phone call early this morning from someone I used to work with. A friend of mine, who was stationed in Iraq, was killed yesterday in her sleep when her trailer was hit. SGT Trista Moretti was an amazing person. She had an impact on so many lives in so many places. It's going to be tough for everyone (like me) who can't make it to Jersey to say goodbye. I've been crying off and on all damn day. It seems so unfair. I hate this war and don't agree with it, but I don't think she died in vain. She died for everyone else out there. They fight for each other, not a cause, not their government. That's what I miss about the Army. I miss my comrades. Trista was hilarious and beautiful and had this great Jersey accent. We used to play word games and gossip and eat lunch together every day. We would laugh all day long while we "worked" haha. I remember when she first got to the unit I told everyone some bitchy chick with an accent was in the...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...
