Harness Up The Sled Dogs and Call us Eskimo!

I just got back from a great little visit home in Kentucky. BJ had called me midway through my trip with the news that we are going to Elmendorf AFB in Alaska come December of this year! We were a little shocked since it wasn't at all on our wish list, but the idea of it is really growing on us! We don't have official orders yet, but that is the plan as far as we know. So everybody save your $ for a trip to the great state of AK!

Happy Birthday Savannah!

Here's our second birthday in the string of 3! Savannah turned 7 yesterday. It's truly amazing how time can speedily get away from you. We did a small celebration by eating cinnamon rolls (Savannah's favorite) for breakfast - with candles included, had CiCi's pizza for supper followed by a trip to Toys R Us to let her pick out a brand new bicycle "with a kickstand". She has loved riding a bike since she finally took her training wheels off last month. She's our princess ladybug who loves a structured routine and wants to always help out. She loves her brothers despite their sometimes mean and rude comments and has loved having a little sister who loves to be around her. We get to go to Kentucky today and will have a group birthday celebration at Grandma's for everyone - since she never gets to be around for everyone's birthday. Savannah has a special trip planned on Saturday to Libby Lu with her friend Haley for a birthday makeover. It should be a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday Addison!

Addison celebrated her 2nd birthday on Friday, May 30th. It's hard to believe that I was just having her as BJ was beginning his Anesthesia program and that it's already been two years! She's such a little copy cat and will do and say anything her older brothers and sister do. She's VERY vocal and can be heard from miles away when she is upset. Her favorite thing to do is look at books and magazines and sing. She did get a water table for her birthday and it is slowly making it's way to the top of her list as well. Time flies! I no longer have a baby!

All Hail Maximus!

We'd like to introduce you to our newest family member, Antares Prinz Maximus (or Maximus for short). I would've posted this sooner, but Maximus actually chewed through our keyboard cord forcing us to go out to buy a new one! He's such a sweetie and already has begun making himself at home. He loves to chew on rocks and eat dirt. He's quite fond of pooping at the front door and pouncing on Addison. We're enjoying him and his smallness at the moment because we know that it won't last long and he will truly be "maximus".
