I just wanted to give everyone a little update on us. The kids are growing fast. Eliana is weighing about 19 pounds and will 10 months on Saturday. She just got her first teeth this last week, so she's been a little fussy, but still her pretty happy self. Her hair is steadily coming in, but still very light so it's hard to tell from a distance. She can stand and cruise the furniture. She absolutely adores her brother and thinks anything he does is funny.

Connor is really enjoying school and loves bringing home his creations. He won a guess the number of jelly beans in the jar game the other day and was so proud of himself. He got to spray paint his hair green at his school carnival and went gokarting with friends. He just finished up his soccer season and we're trying to decide what we will do next. He is learning about the world and cracking us up with some of the things he says.

Dan is plugging away at his recruiting job. He got his first award for having 3 recruits last month, so I think that has encouraged him some. He still works very long hours, but we are getting adjusted. We just attended a military ball and had a lot of fun.



We found a lake that is right by our house that reminds me so much of Washington.

Guess who put her in here?

I am enjoying staying home with the kids. I have been toying with the idea of going back to work part-time, but not until I have trusted daycare for the baby. We stay busy with the MOMS Club, playgroups, and the gym for right now. We are getting excited for the holidays and visiting with family!!
