My Beautiful Boys :)

I put Tristan in a 3-6mos outfit today and he wasn't swimming in it like I had hoped. He weighs 11 pounds now!! I am washing all my 3-6mos clothes. I forgot how much adorable stuff I had!! He's going to be so stylin' :) I just hope it cools down soon so he can wear them because they're all winter-ish. It's still stinkin' 90 degrees out here (record highs for this time of year). Noah was born a month before Tristan so I guess it is odd for it to be this hot still. I just don't remember it ever NOT being hot. OK ok... January when we had the ice storms it was cold, but that's it! I also found the giraffe costume in that box. I thought I had given it back to Michelle, but there it was... sitting right on top. So Tristan is at least going to be a giraffe for pictures this year :) I think it would be too hot for him to wear it on Halloween. Stupid Texas.

No concrete news from Josh yet. There is an option we're trying to secure that would ensure no deployments for the last 3 years of his enlistment. I will let everyone know when we have orders for sure. Most likely we'll be moving... fast. I've been spending my days with my new friend Karrie who lives right down the street. She rocks. I wish I could drag her along with us when we move. I am going to call her right now and we're going to the park. I want to make sure she knows where everything is around here before I leave. I can't believe I had no friends for 4 years and then finally, when we might move... I make 2 great friends with kids. Oh well. That's what the internet is for! We'll all keep in touch I'm sure :)

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...

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...

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...
