Soccer and Cereal

We have definitely been staying busy since we've moved to New York! Between getting settled in the house, Chad taking command, Army events, traveling, visitors and keeping Addison busy...we haven't stopped! Here are a couple events from the past few weeks..

Addison started a soccer clinic at the Y. She was unsure of it at first, but warmed up to it eventually. She is pretty good at dibbling apparently! Soccer is Addison and Daddy time, so I haven't seen her in person. I will probably go to the last Saturday to see her.

In two weeks she will start gymnastics and is going to take swimming lessons in August. If you know Addison, you know this kind of schedule is good for her - the busier the better!



Little Mya is growing so fast!! She will be 6 months this week! I started her on rice cereal this week - she loved it! I hope she is a better eater than her sister! I feel like so many people rush baby food. To each his own, but I don't start it before I have to. If my kids seem happy, no reason to rush it. Baby food is just another expense and time consuming process. I will probably continue rice cereal for a few weeks and then move to veggies. Haven't decided if I am going to jump on the "make your own baby food" train or not. If my schedule stays this busy, I probably will stick with good ol' Gerber Organic. :)

Mya is definitely still our mellow kid. At this age Addison was rolling all over and could "army crawl" across the room before she was 6 months old. Mya can roll from her stomach to her back, but rarely does it. She hasn't rolled from her back to her stomach yet and is definitely not crawling..although she is getting her leg motion going in that direction. It is so different to have a kid that is content to be in one spot. I am not complaining though! I know she will move at her own pace.
Mmm!


How much do my girls look alike??

Strength

Blogs are interesting.  Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends.  We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives.  While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though...  The moments that we fail completely as a parent.  The moments that we are to busy to stop and help.  The moments we sit in silence and wonder why.  The moments when life is just flat out hard.  In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war.   In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be.   I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away.   Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer.  I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...

Change of Command

Here are a few pictures from Chad's Change of Command Ceremony. I hope to get more pictures from the official photographer that day. I didn't get any pictures of myself and my White House Black Market dress! :) The Food... Chad and I aren't huge fans of cake, so we got a cookie cake instead from a local bakery. I wish I had taken a picture of the entire table, but I only at time for a few pictures. Everyone was pretty impressed with the spread. My mom taught me how to prepare lots and lots of food and how to make it tasty! Addison kept snagging food before the ceremony started! C-Troop Taking Command! So proud of Chad! We look forward to serving with the Outcast family!

Lake Placid

Over Columbus Day, we decided to take advantage of the time for one more family trip before the deployment. Lake Placid has been on our list of places we wanted to go and we chose to wait until the fall to enjoy seeing all the leaves changing in the Adirondacks. The leaves were a little past peak, but it was still beautiful.  To understand how much we enjoyed this trip, you have to understand how much we enjoy the Olympics.  Let's just say we are Olympic fanatics...the Atwells would understand. :)  On our way in to town, we stopped had lunch at a recommended BBQ place. That afternoon, we only had time to go to one venue before they closed for the day.  If you don't know the history, Lake Placid hosted the Winter Olympics in 1932 and 1980 and is still a site for Olympic training.  First stop - Bobsled, Combination Track   You can pay to ride down the 1932 bobsled course.  It looked fun! After the Bobsled track, we headed back to the hotel and ...
