Wednesday Play Group

A bunch of us military mommies from cafemom.com meet up every Wednesday on the base playground to let our kids play their little hearts out. This was the first time I was able ot make it to the "official" play group. Tristan slept the entire time until right before we left. I nursed him briefly and he went back to sleep before we came home. He's still asleep now! I think it's because he was awake all morning eating. I don't mind if it means a longer nap! It did make eating breakfast really difficult for me, though. I didn't get to eat until around 10:30, even though we'd been up since 6am. Noah woke up because he had to go potty and just didn't fall back asleep. He should nap really well today. Tris is wearing my favorite outfit. It was my favorite for Noah too :) It's just sooooo cute! Babies wearing pants just kills me every time.

So... the playgroup was great. My friend Jamie showed up with her 2yr old, Sienna and 4mo old Jesse. She also brought some cute outfits for Tristan and size 1 diapers. YAY! Sienna and Noah are "dating", we decided haha. They chased each other around the entire time, pushed each other down, helped each other back up. They were in perpetual motion so I didn't get too many good shots. They're quite a cute couple! All the other kids were around 1yr old or so. Noah was a giant compared to them. They all got along really well and all the moms got along well too. I plan to show up every Wednesday that I can. Afterwards we usually go over to Starbucks for "Mom" time, but I wasn't able to go. Maybe in a few months. It was so nice to get out of the house and Noah was SO happy to finally be allowed to run around and get loud and crazy.

And now it's time for me to snack and nap :)

That's so nice for Noah to be able to ru around with some other kids,even if they are a bit younger!Sienna is too cute!
I love Tristans's little outfit & his wild dark head of hair!!

It's so healthy for you to be getting out like this.I know I feel so much better when I get out of the house & talk to other Mom's ,especially ones in my predicament!!

I really have to make an effort to eat.When I don't my milk suffers noticeably,it's strange.Then I have to play catch up & be a pig.Like today,haha.Some days I really don't get to eat until lunch time,it's so bad for my milk!I usually end up eating breakfast standing up in the kitchen :P...I guess it's all about time management!I'm glad you had a good day :D

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...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

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...
