Hush Hush

Sometimes, no news is good news. That's the case with us. We've been so busy I feel like I hardly have time to blog. Between soccer, church and trying to keep up with our chores around the house, we're starting to wear ourselves out. (or is it just me?) It's lots of fun, though. As they say, make hay while the sun shines. Daddy is coming home for a visit this weekend, so we'll have a chance to slow down and relax a little. Ane now, we'd better all get some sleep. We don't want to be grumpy for our fun weekend. Hush, hush...it's sleepytime for Boys and Mommys.

Red Velvet

These lovelies are still glowing after almost three weeks.

The Commandant's Own

We had a special treat this weekend. We saw The Commandant's Own Drum and Bugle Corps perform a Battle Color Ceremony along with the USMC Silent Drill Platoon. We never get tired of seeing this stuff. It's always so impressive!


The boys loved hearing the marching music, and were mesmerized by the Silent Drill Platoon.



Afterwards, we got to meet the marines on the field, and the boys got a closer look at the instruments.

They are finishing up their "spring training" out here. Now they will begin their touring season. If you get a chance to see them, don't hesitate! You will enjoy it!

Speed

To call my new rollerblades garish would be a gross understatement. (Gold and black? What were they thinking?? That little pink ribbon is the only attractive part) But they sure are fast. It's quite a difference going from the entry-level-15 years ago, to top-of-the-line right now. High near 80 degrees tomorrow. No excuses.
