And Now For Some Pictures

ok well like Brit said Blogger is being a butthead so... check tomorrow

Also I'd like to mention that my Husband STILL isn't home. He left at 1:30pm. It is now 10pm. Yes, it's Sunday (his day off). However, he's at the barracks watching the trainees clean-up for some big-wig coming through on TUESDAY. So why not do this on Monday? Because that would make sense and that's just not the Army way. We have yet to have a weekend where they don't call him in, in uniform, to do some stupid task. He hasn't eaten all day, poor thing. I hate training bases.

**UPDATE** Josh finally was released at around 10:15. He came home and ate, watched some TV with me, and finally fell asleep around 2... he woke up at 4:30 this morning. He's gotta be miserable.

The blogger server is still being weird so I had to upload one picture at a time, but here they are :)

Tristan got a new sippy! I got him one that feels more like a bottle so that he would be more likely to suck instead of gnaw on it. He makes some pretty funny faces when he tastes water.

Noah was low-crawling in the front yard the other day while we were waiting for them to deliver our new coffee tables. He kept telling me to take pictures, but never stood still long enough for me to actually get a decent shot. He loves pretending he's swimming in the water near a pirate ship... or running from T-Rex... sometimes hunting T-Rex.

Tristan is not a big fan of just plain cereal anymore. He gets bored with it and refuses to eat another bite. I got him some baby food to see if he would eat that instead. HUGE HIT! I mix fruit in with the cereal for his breakfast.

He ate the entire container of the sweet potatoes and corn (Noah's old favorite). Although to be fair at least 1/3 of the container ended up on his face or clothes. He really loves baby food! He, like Noah, is not too fond of apples or any blend with apples in it. I think they're sour to him. It's going to be rough trying to find food without apples! Hopefully he'll get used to it in a few weeks. Noah eventually did.

Tristan's still trying to crawl. He dives all over the place and can get to his destination really quickly. Now he will focus on objects well out of his reach and lunge at them while blowing spit bubbles and humming. I think he's trying to communicate "pppplease just let me chew on the remote!". He's so much fun :) Last night he woke up at 1, and despite our better judgment, Josh and I kept him up for awhile so we could play with him. He kept smiling and grabbing Josh's face. He's so in love with Daddy, which makes Daddy feel great.

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...

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...
