4th and Friends


Since Marc returned home from California last week it has been a busy and exciting time for our family. Gracie, Liam and I were thrilled to FINALLY show Marc our new home...and thankfully, he was not disappointed! :) He has quickly come to appreciate and enjoy the large wooded yard and the ease of keeping up with the kids on ONE floor, instead of two. Our days of chasing kids up and down stairs are behind us (well, at least for the next 3 years, that is!) - hallelujah!

We were thrilled to welcome our first house guests the weekend of the 4th. The Rosenbergs, our dear friends (and neighbors) from Quantico made the drive down and we had a BLAST! We filled our days with them going to the beach, hitting the pool, eating seafood, and hanging out by the bonfire. Needless to say, everyone had a great time and the kids were all exhausted by the time Sunday rolled around!

Marc, the kids and I had a relaxing time on the 4th. The weather here was surprisingly perfect - warm, sunny and no humidity! After a dinner from the grill, we packed up our blanket and goodies and spent the rest of the evening at the fireworks on base. Gracie was happy to curl up with Marc and enjoy the show, while Liam - nervous at first - insisted on cuddling with me on the blanket while watching.
