The Catch Up

Ok so it's been a while since I have had the TIME to sit down and write a blog. So here is what has been going on in the last few days. Over the weekend, William came home. Well, the night before I went to pick him up, a strong strong storm blew in, and had strong winds and more rain than we have seen in the last few months. Well about 2 hours before I was supposed to go and pick him up it quit raining and I was excited, maybe I would be able to get out of the car and have one of those 'Pearl Harbor' moments. HA! I got up to get Noah dressed and you wouldn't believe what I saw. What I thought was fog was actually SNOW! Everything was covered in about 3 inches of snow and with every passing minute the snow kept falling harder and harder. So in a frantic I called everyone in my family that has ever been snow skiing and of course I remembered we had 4 wheel drive on our car. But I was scared out of my mind. Where there is snow, there is ice. And I was already nervous to get William, but on top of that I had snow to tackle. Everything turned out great though.

The boys played in the snow that day and we got some great pictures. And of course we had Easter. The boys also had fun dying Easter eggs. Noah tried to eat one of the dying tablets so his tongue was temporarily turned pink. Sadly, no one in this house eats boiled eggs. So now I have about 10 boiled eggs and don't know what to do with them. But we all had fun. And Easter William grilled us a chicken on the grill. He is getting much better. The chicken turned out great and we have TONS of leftovers.

After the ship came in, the Capt gave everyone the holidays off and a few extra days to spend with family. So William has been home for the last few days and finally returned to work today. But Monday we went and bought a few things for Noah's room. Last night I bought him a potty chair. I think we are going to start potty training. He is showing some signs. And we are seriously interested in a beautiful Beagle out close to Tacoma. She won't be ready until May 11 so that gives us plenty of prep time. It has been a busy couple of days. Glad we can finally get back to our routine, and try and get back to some kind of normal...
