Just enjoying some reading material.....

I want you to know we did not pose him, just walked into the living room on Easter Sunday and caught him in the act!

Long weeks, Short days

So for the past week we had the pleasure of having the first of many visits I'm sure from Geoff's Mom and Dad. Other than my Dad who helped me graciously move down here and a visit over Easter Sunday by my brother and soon to be my very best-est sister Stacy, they are the first of family to travel to see the place we now call home. The week went slow at first then became a whirlwind that we could not stop. Oh how we wished they could have stayed longer.
Alex was in his prime showing Ga-ma and Papa around his new pad. I think his favorite part was playing hockey with his Papa. Who by the way taught Alex how to properly hook your opponent. He hasn't quite got it down yet but it won't be long. Power naps with Dad and Papa. And of course running through the sprinkler with Ga-ma to relieve the humidity. Who now says she needs a sprinkler like that for the side of their house!
We ENJOYED showing them around the base and to the Museum of Aviation. They also saw Geoff's office the active taxiway that you have to drive over to get to the office. Geoff and Dad enjoyed 18 holes of golf on the bases course, where on the 10th hole was some added humor when the head of Dad's six iron decided to take a swim (hilarious!)
We did a lot of lounging around and laughing, Meeting up with Geoff's cousins on Wednesday for dinner and with a sad good bye on Saturday driving them off base to get them on their way. All of us holding back tears....except Alex with his new vocabulary, yelling GOOD_BYE out the back window.

So we spent Monday at Turner Field, volunteering for the Braves baseball game. Geoff was one of the members that held the flag on the field. He is located in the Mississippi area. Even though it was a long day and really hot is was such a neat experience. It was so nice to be involved in something that gives back!

My First hockey fight....you should see the other guy!

Okay, we have this hockey net and sticks because how could we live without them. Alex likes to run through the house with the sticks. Now even though we have tried to tell him no High Sticking you will get a penalty he still likes to hit things with them....thanks for that genetic Babe! So Alex is doing his normal nightly routine of hockey before bed...he takes off running trips over the rug and lands on the stick. Catching him right below the left eye. The screams that came out of this child...his face is red we can't see a mark. Once he calmed down it was then we laughed knowing that in the morning he was going to have his first shiner!

Alex

So Alex has been growing like crazy, and has been have some interesting ah ha moments...for instants this morning we have a ball popper that is very loud but one of his favorite toys and he realizes this morning if I go near Zeva she gets up and walks away. Well we have all tile floor and poor Zeva has no traction. Alex quietly walks over in her vicinity and shoves the ball popper in her face....making the natural reaction of Zeva jumping up in a frenzy trying to get away on the tile floor and Alex chasing after her with the obnoxious toy.This in turn creates a fun new game and Alex can hardly stand up after a few minutes because he is laughing hysterically at her. I can't help but watch and laugh I know a good Mommy would have told him to stop annoying and torturing the dog but it was too funny!

Welcome!

We are excited to have this option in our lives to keep in touch with friends and family! Skype has also been a big bonus, (thanks mom and dad) still learning how to use it though:) So I hope you enjoy and I hope I have enough time to get to it to keep it updated:)
