More Eliza...

Who doesn't love pictures of a cute baby?!?!  Oh, and one of the dog...think she's been a little neglected lately ;-)

March 28, 2011

The past few months have been busy with lots of different changes.  We moved off Ohau and back to the mainland, bought a house, moved into said house a few months later ... all the while being flexible and making plans/back-up plans and just all-around rolling with the punches.  Somehow the details were sorted out and we ended up with everything and everyone in one place.  Which seems kinda amazing given that we shipped two cars, all of our household goods, flew with the dog for three flights and lived out of suitcases from Jan. till March in various locations/states.  Whew, pcsing (permanent change of station) with the Army is always an adventure!







But ... the biggest change arrived March 28th, 2011 in the form of 8 lbs. 3 oz. and 21 inches long.  Once she decided to arrive she came quickly and we made it to the hospital with about 17 minutes to spare.  Not exactly a pain free experience ... that saying about no pain no gain?  So so so so true!

Its hard to believe she's been around 8 days already, but we are head over heels for her and can't wait to get to know her as she grows.


Below are some pictures from our last week with our newest addition:  Eliza Madeline!

Happy Veterans Day...

For those past and present...

On another note...not sure what to think of this...

HALLOWEEN

 Long time no see? Although we've been busy the past few months with thinking about our upcoming move, actually moving down the street since where we were sold, going back to work full time and as always...enjoying Hawaii while we can.  At least for a few more months before we're Georgia bound!  We've been taking pictures, but haven't put anything up till now...

 It may be Hawaii and not entirely fall like most people experience, but there's still a pumpkin patch to visit!

 They were only open the last two weekends in Oct. so there were quite a few people visiting - luckily lines moved and people were in and out pretty quickly.

White pumpkins!

The fraggles made an appearance the friday night before Halloween!

As did the hot dog...though she moped and sulked until we took it off and ran around the house like the crazy dog she really is...

 

What a day!

After 10 months I can finally say....

He's back!

He was in the first group to leave Kuwait..after crossing 13 time zones and traveling for a little over 23 hours Scott (and a few others) arrived at Hickam Air Force Base around lunchtime.  The re-deployment ceremony was short and sweet (after it started 1/2 hour or so late) and then they were released...until PT on friday at least...

off to the left was a screen where we could see them check in and doing whatever it is they do

the band...

here they come...all 206 of them..

there he is...you know, the one in front on the right...

Happy 5th of July!

I hope that everyone had a fun-filled 4th! 

Here while other units are deploying we are getting ready for the 25th CAB (Combat Aviation Brigade) to redeploy (come home) soon.  Exciting stuff!  Hopefully Scott won't have to deploy again too soon, but who really knows.  The future is always up in the air with the Army; no matter how good of a plan you thought you have you're probably going to end up with plan c or d before all is said and done.  We do know that we're pcsing (permanent change of station) sometime in the near future, but nothing's for sure until we have orders in hand!  

Anywhoo, here's a video to celebrate nearing end of deployment #2!  I had to put it on youtube b/c it won't upload into blogger no matter how hard I try for some reason, ugh its been SUCH a pain.
