Cruiser

Our stress level has dropped significantly in the past week and a half. Not only do we have a house to move to in Montgomery, but we have something to drive when we get there. No base housing means we needed another car since Marc has to commute. After an exhaustive amount of research, because we are nerds like that, we brought home a cute little cream colored PT. I am the lucky one who gets to drive this Hot-Mom mobile, but Case considers himself the real winner because he no longer has to drive around test-driving new cars.

Crew Robert

Today Case and I had the privilege of driving up to Dothan to meet my new nephew.

Bowling

Case is a better Wii bowler than either Marc or I.

We can still (usually) beat him in real life though.

New house!

We're back from Montgomery, successful in our house hunting. We found a cute little place in Millbrook that most importantly is in the school district we decided would be best. We have a big back yard with huge trees, and a Crepe Myrtle in the front (my favorite tree!)

Vaulted ceiling in the living room; odds are this wall will end up turquoise.

Most of the pics I took are not that exciting, without our stuff they look like every other photo of a white room with beige carpet ever taken (and if you have ever looked online for a new home you have already seen that picture). But this was Case's favorite part: the walk-in closet where he sat and played Leapster in the dark the whole time we looked around.

Happy Independance Day

Our Base celebration of our country's independence was cut short last night due to Mother Nature throwing a major light show of her own. But no one here is going to pass on a chance to blow stuff up, so it was rescheduled for tonight.

The fireworks are all launched from a boat in the Sound, right off our beach, but it is late and it's very difficult to keep Case contained in a crowded situation like that. We are therefore quite fortunate to be able to watch the show from our front lawn.

It was a wonderful time, Case sat with us for a surprisingly long time before getting up to run around. He adorably would comment "Wow!" and "Cool!" and yelled about the colors.

The 4th of July has become so much more important to me since Marc commissioned. Free Speech means more when you are surrounded by those who make it possible. I feel so fortunate to live here, and to be so involved with my Air Force Family.

Trains

The cuteness is unbearable.

Case was playing in our bed with his trains, when I guess his busy morning caught up with him. He fell asleep with this train RUNNING, right up against his cheek.
