Goodbye C-17, Hello Pentagon

Nate found out he will be working at the Pentagon for our next assignment. He will be completing his ACSC (Air Command and Staff College) Requirement working as a Legislative Liason at the Pentagon. He is very excited about the new job and we are both excited about the change. Washington D.C. is such a beautiful area and there is so much history ready to be explored. We have started the research of houses and areas and it is all very overwhelming. We have a while since we will only be renting. Claire is very excited that we will be moving somewhere where it snows. Anyways. We should be moving in July and wanted to share the news.

Real People, Real Faith, Real Jesus

What is your cardboard testimony?

Halloween 2008

The kids had a great time last night trick or treating. I on the other hand was exhausted after walking the block and pulling Jacob in the wagon! Phew! Claire dressed up as Tabby the Turtle. You might remember meeting her back in August. When Nate deployed he gave the kids each a build a bear with his voice recorded in them. Claire's was a turtle with a hello kitty shirt that he named Tabby. Sooo Claire was Tabby. Thank goodness we already had the hello kitty shirt. I made the shell and it lasted the day before, the day of for playgroup and halfway through TOTing. Not bad. She loved it. Jacob was a horse and he tolerated it well. He looked so cute! I am sitting here feeling sick as my body tried to metabolize all the sugar I have eaten! We missed Daddy but it was a fun day.

Non-Pumpkin Patch

We went with our MOPS group to the West Family Corn Maze. We didn't attempt the corn maze but had fun otherwise. Of course the kids loved the animals and had fun doing the crafts and other activities. Claire picked out a cute pumpkin while Jacob used them as a jungle gym. Claire painted a pumpkin and named it Dad while Jacob ate the paint. Claire and Jacob both humored me and looked cute for a photo op in the hay maze.

Pumpkin Carving

Claire and I carved pumpkins while Jacob walked the streets of Summerville, SC. No, just kidding. He played in the garage and the car. But Claire and I had fun. She scooped the guts and I was the face creator. Jacob's pumpkin has cheeks per her request and her pumpkin is flowers. It was actually fun but harder than I thought. Nate is usually the pumpkin carver.
