Aquarium Trip Nov. 30, 2008

We took a trip to the aquarium, it was a rainy quiet saturday and took advantage of the day off.
The kids love to pose, touch the sting rays and play with the tide pool creatures...

Kids Play Shoe Dress Up...

We came home and the kids were in a great mood, they decided to dress up in Daddy's shoes. What does it feel like to be in Daddy's shoes???

Another Marine Corps Ball November 15, 2008

Shawn's good friend, gunny Negron and his wife.

The ball took place 2 weeks after Shawn came home and it was our little getaway. It took place at the Marriott in Atlantic Beach. The food as usual was so-so, but we had a good time. I finally bought a new dress this year, a decent one, and I am planning on using it for the next 3 years or so. I hate looking for dresses, they are so expensive and very innapropriate, and of course they don't fit right most of the time. Oh well.

We had a good time and spent some little alone time, the kids spent the night with our good friends the Osmonds.

Daddy Comes Home November 2, 2008

Big Hugs from Daddy, yes of course I was crying taking the pictures!!! But I don't have that on camera.

It was Daddy, and he was calling out cadence and marching out the unit to meet us. I had to keep the kids back. Jake was finally realizing why we were so excited, he could not believe he was actually going to see Daddy!

Wait the marine to the right side kind of looked like Daddy, could that be him????

Finally they started marching toward us, we were jumping up and down!!!!
