Family Pics

Yesterday afternoon we went and had our pictures taken. Oh my gosh. That is very exhausting with a 2yr old. Mike was good for about the fist three minutes. Then, Joe and I were chasing him around like chickens with our heads cut off! These are just a couple that the photographer posted on her blog.

The Griswalds'

Today we finished getting our Christmas lights up. That's right, I said Christmas lights. Joe was out in full "Clark Griswald" mode. At one point I went outside because I was sure I heard the ladder on the roof. He was doing all kinds of unsafe things, but he made it through without incident and the house looks great. I think our neighbors think we're nuts, but hey! We travel so much during the holidays we have to decorate early in order to make all the work worth it! Our next door neighbor is just shy of 9 months pregnant and her husband is deployed. I think Joe is doing her house next weekend, so by then we won't be the only crazy people on the block! WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE!

Marine Corps Ball 2008

Last night was HMH-461's Ball. It was at the Hilton in Wilmington. We had a great time. Hannah watched the boys for us. Joe was the commander of troops. I took a video so hopefully I'll be able to get that posted later on today. The group photo is of the flight line shop. Those are the guys that work for Joe. They are a rowdy bunch that's for sure!

Henry's Stats

Henry went to the dr this week. He's growing fast! He weighs 13.8lbs and is 24 inches tall. Everyone will be glad to know that his head circumference is in the normal range(for now). So he's gained 2 1/2lbs and grown 2 inches since his visit last month. Today he has come very close to rolling over. We will keep you posted! Mike has become quite the little helper. When he hears Henry crying he tells us to give him a bottle. This morning, he just got the bottle himself ane popped into Henry's mouth. It was pretty funny.

Hanging Around

Joe has been working some long and late hours, so he hasn't been able to see the kids very much. Finally on Saturday we all got ot hang out at home with nothing to do! And as it turns out, that is our favorite thing to do!

Halloween!

This year Mike was Spiderman for Halloween. He thought it was very cool, but didin't wear the mask b/c it "tickled". We went to the Halloween party at the squadron and then over to the Snyder's house. All the kids were dressed up except for Henry, but he was still very festive in his glow in the dark shirt.

Dad's Visit....

Here are some pictures of my dad's visit. We had a really good time. We just hung out at the house most of Friday and then we went to visit the beach and the base on Saturday. Sunday they headed home, and as usual the visit was too short!
