Virginia Beach
We went to the beach today to help the girls get used to it so we can have some fun on our family vacation this summer. Jeremiah took Melanie out and pretty much scared her (not intentionally) note picture above. They both enjoyed playing in the sand with our sand toys and then Julia resorted to eating the sand. (Just when we thought she was over that). So, I guess she is going to like gritty foods for the rest of her life! Maybe there is oatmeal and grits in her future!? Then, they left the beach holding hands. It was a pretty great day. Mommy was tired by the end though.
We love to go to the Botanical Gardens (when time and temperature allow). We just went Thursday and I took some really fun pictures of the girls sporting their bathing suits for the water. While we were there we found a Canadian Goose feather. Melanie picked it up and was playing with it - then a worker from the gardens came and told us we couldn't have it because "It might be a Bald Eagle Feather. There is a federal fine for having a Bald Eagle Feather. I'm pretty sure it's not an Eagle feather but because they are in the area, we collect any feathers we can find.". So the man took the feather from my poor two year old child!! She was so devestated! Enjoy the pics!

Oh Janice!! I am so glad you have a blog!! It was fun to read everything and "catch up" on all the little things going on! The kids are beautiful!!! I have to admit, you did make me tear up more than once!!! You have always been such a strength and example to me! I can't imagine having a baby and having the girls by yourself most the time! I didn't know Jeremiah was gone so much, maybe I was just naive!! I'm sorry! I loved reading about you fixing the tire!! And the potato peels, girl, don't you remember the sign in our apartment--and Derek and I still putting them down the disposal, and then fishing them out!!! I am grateful you have other military wives and friends to help you through! It makes me wish we were closer, although I probably am not moving east ever again!!! Miss you girl! Thanks for always being so strong and a support to those around you!! Love ya!
Tami - thanks for the comment. It is always great hearing about what you all are up to as well. You are a strong mom! I actually don't remember the sign in the apartment. It's weird - the things I don't remember. But, I know now for sure!
