It has been WAY too long since I've posted...our digital camera has gone missing...long story....lets just say we will have to make a claim for theft on our home owners insurance! Enough said on THAT topic!

Halloween went by without a hitch. We went on base to our good friend Paul and Ami's and lilly bugs and the kids went trick or treating...had lots of fun, got really cold and received more candy than kids even remotely need! :)

If you have been keeping up on the news here in the Pacific Northwest, you know that there has been some major flooding here. Our home and lives have remained intact and ok, but that is not the luck of many people in WA state. Fall has moved in with a vengeance...pouring rain, howling winds and today it started to be bitterly cold. The mountains that we see from our living room are now covered with snow, which they WEREN'T yesterday! So winter is fast on it's way. We are hoping hoping hoping for a white Christmas!!!

We are headed up to Whidbey Island next week for Thanksgiving with Peggy and Gordon (they will be here Christmas eve to celebrate with us).

Mark received word last week that he is off the boat in July!!! YAY!!! He is trying to get into a few different things and once we have definate orders...well...as definate as we can get in the Navy we will let you know what lies ahead for us.

On the homefront, I am just two semesters away from my degree AND I am getting state certified for Daycare. I want to spend another year or so at home but also want to 'do' something without leaving my own kids with someone else while I do that! This is called wanting my cake and eating it too! :)

Hope all is well with everyone! Don't forget to leave comments so we can keep in touch!

Hugs

Mark, Jaye and Gang
