#3

A preview of our sleep-stealing little joy due early June... We'll all have to be patient to find out if it is a little he or little she.

New York, New York

It was 10 years for us this past December.  Whoa. Wonderful!  These years have also included eight major moves (Fort Polk, Fort Knox, South Korea, Fort Knox (again), California, Germany, Uzbekistan, and now Indiana) and in those places a total of 10 different houses or apartments and 11 different addresses.  It's been crazy, fun, wonderful.

Craig planned a surprise trip for us to New York City to celebrate and enjoy time away from our little ones.  It was a perfect gift of rest, fun, and friends -- he coordinated for us to have time with my friend Christine and her husband Buck.

Christmas Stop #3: Birmingham

Our last fun stop was Oma's in Birmingham.

A great way to spend a cold afternoon

Christmas Stop #2: Lake Martin

Christmas day we joined Craig, sr, and family at Lake Martin.  It was cold, but the boys made the most of lake living.

Fishing from the pier

"Big Bad Blue", the catfish that Seth and company caught

Not much patience for the fishing, but Vic loves the worms

Christmas Stop #1: Elba

After we flew home from California, we drove from Indiana to Elba to celebrate Christmas with Gee and company.  The traveling is definitely not so much fun, but it was wonderful to be home. 

Definitely not a great photo but the best I have of the three boys in their matching pj's.

Chatting like old men under the tree
