Getting some shade

Staying out of the sun with Baba.

Evening activities

John's campfire at the farm last night. Looks like a perfect night to me!


Our view last night wasn't too bad!

Fini-Flight

Thank you to the 162nd for a great 2 yr run! We are going to miss the squadron, our friends and family. Movers arrive in 8 hours to pack up our stuff and head west. Tucson here we come!

Katherine's Baptism

We have had a crazy couple of weeks. Bags are packed, cupboards are clear, and we are ready to head west. But, we have been able to get in a couple of important events before ending our time here in Ohio. Today we had Katherine baptized. The pictures are out of order, but it is the best I can do tonight!!
This first picture really does not have much to do with the baptism does it? Somehow it was in the batch that was uploaded... so enjoy! Maggie & her sillybandz

Family Day!

We had fun out at base touring around planes and watching the kids run around. Of course the little one had to show her support of the squadron!

Baba and Maggie picking strawberries

Strawberry time at the Farm

As you all know, Steph is famous for her strawberries. There is nothing better than home grown strawberries and a cute little girl to pick them. Baba was lucky that her visit to Ohio was just in time to pick some strawberries!

One month

One month has flown by! She is such a great baby and we are really lucky a second time. No fussing, rarely cries, goes right back to sleep after we feed her in the middle of the night. She is making parenthood really easy on us. Big sister is doing well, but has quickly realized that life has changed.

Here is a picture of her hanging out with mom. Her favorite place to be is in the wrap looking around!

ISR Graduate!

Since we are moving to a hot place with lots of pools... we decided to enroll Maggie in ISR swimming. The first few days were really tough, but then Maggie fell in love with her instructor Ms. Angela and was a super star student. She even graduated early! Maggie can swim!

The final test... to simulate falling into a body of water, Maggie had to swim with her clothes on. Shoes and all!

Practising her float.
