Thanksgiving

This is the card Noah made for Kevin. It's going to be late, but we're still sending it because it's so CUTE! This is the first time I've seen Noah draw a person before!

Tristan looked adorable in his special "Baby's First Thanksgiving" outfit I got him from Babies R Us. We had a little Thanksgiving celebration. Vita and I cooked a big dinner and had Brandon over to help us eat it all. Every one of our other friends went out of town to their family's homes to celebrate. I didn't take many pictures because my camera's been acting a bit crazy lately. I saw my same Kodak in the Wal-Mart black Friday ad. It was actually the next step up from my current one... and it was an awesome sale. I told Vita I wanted it really bad. She went out and bought it for me! I was completely shocked, almost cried I was so happy.

I LOVE this new camera. It can take the old camera's batteries, charge on the same docking station, has all the same buttons in the same places, works with the same cables. This one is a 7.1 megapixel (my other one is a 6.1). It takes much better videos AND it has a panoramic setting. This is going to be very handy for when we need to put the house up for sale. I can take 3 pictures and stitch them together to show the entire room. I can't say much else, baby just woke up. It's been a great weekend thus far :) This picture of Tristan is just funny.

Holy video selection!! And i have tio agree with you on the panoramic option, I love it too. My old camera had it and i loved it. I think its easier to post pics on here too. Its one whole room, not 4 different photos. Ok I'm rambling!
How are you doing other wise? We haven't talked in awhile.

Very bad day today

Image
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

Image
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...
