Big News.

We finally got orders and are going to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Hopefully we will be there before Thanksgiving. We already made an offer on a house and it was accepted so we are now under contract. The slide show has some pics of the house. My good friend Tiffany and her daughter went with the realtor to check it out. It is on a cul de sac, has a neighborhood pool, and is walking distance to school.

Sami's First Day of Kindergarten

Today was Samantha's first day of Kindergarten. This was almost a disaster. The paper I got at registration said her first day was September 9. The girls were eating diner last night and I picked up the paper and it said that Kindergarten started on September 8. Luckily we were mostly ready and everything went fine. No one cried and she had a good day.

Sami at sunset

We had a beautiful sunset on Monday night.

Aquarium

Another trip to the aquarium.

Swim lessons 2009

The girls spent 6 weeks in swim lessons this week. Sami learned to go underwater and blow bubbles. Jillian also learned to blow bubbles and she thinks she is a fish.

Summer Fun

Jillian's Birthday Party

We had Jillian's party a few weeks after her birthday so Sean could be there. Of course Jillian smeared her cupcake everywhere.

Where have we been?

I am getting ready to post lots of updates. I am going to backdate some of them so they fall into the right order. Enjoy.

More Birthday pictures

Happy 1st Birthday Jillian!

Today was Jillian's first birthday. Sean is still gone so we just did a few presents and ate some icecream. We are going to have her party when Sean gets home.

Easter 2009

I am finally getting around to posting Easter pictures. Sean was gone and poor Jilli was sick and had a fever.

Jillian gets stuck

She does this all the time. I think it is more fun if you are actually sitting in it instead of under it.

Happy 5th Birthday Samantha!

My first baby girl turned 5 today. She had her party last month but passed out cupcakes to her friends at school and opened presents this morning. This afternoon Sami, Jilli, and I went out for ice cream. Sami wanted to go to Big Dip so she could get sweet potato soft serve.

Sami's haircut

Samantha finally got a much needed haircut. The result is super cute.

Pink Poodle Party

Samantha will be 5 on April 17. She had her party early on March 21 so her Dad could be here for it. The theme was Pink Poodles in Paris. It was really cute.

St. Patty's Day 2009

I suck.

OK, I totally suck. I am a bad blogger. All my friends are posting all this stuff and mine sits here all alone. I can't seem to find the time to do everything I need to so this suffers. I am about to do 3 posts though, so hopefully that will make up for it some.

The tent

Sami and Jillian playing in the tent that Santa brought for Jilli. Check out those blue eyes. Yes, she is already spoiled.

Valentine's Day part 2.

Here are more pictures from Valentine's Day.

Teeth

Yes, Jillian has teeth. The bottom two came in on January 18 and 21. Still waiting on the arrival of more.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Our very cute girls singing for you on Valentine's Day.

Steelers Rock!
