Snack of the Week

No, it's not "Drink of the Week." But it is one of my new favorite snacks. I think I could eat a whole bag at once. I'm pretty sure it's healthy; just look at all the pictures of veggies on the bag! Am I right?

And now for something completely... pointless...

This is how Noah eats a breadstick... he chews up and down the sides, kinda like the way one would eat corn-on-the-cob. He's also been known to eat his bananas this way... and pickles. Interestingly, he does not eat corn-on-the-cob. He won't eat if off the cob either, but that's another post entirely.

Going Back in Time

Thought I might dig up a few shots from our stop in Seattle on our way here...

The Move Continues...

Thank goodness for Starbucks to prepare us for household goods delivery day! And what a day is was... we're still recovering... still unpacking... This is the move that will not end! Here are some scenes of the move-in... (and for those who might wonder, there are at least 4... maybe 5 places right here on base where I can get Starbucks!)



Noah finds a place to hide...


These stickers are on pretty much everything. I imagine I'll be finding them for months, even years to come! We actually have a few from Devin's past moves. They really "stick" with you!









Things look much better now. We've made a lot of progress, especially in the kitchen, living, and dining areas. I'll show you more later....

Uninvited Guest

(From Devin) So our dog has been sniffing around the laundry room all day (annoying us like crazy) so we block her access to that room. I figure there is a gecko in the room. No big deal. Later on, she starts sniffing under one corner of a cabinet in the kitchen. So we open the door, wheew... stinks!! We'll deal with it tomorrow and decide to block her from that room. Then all of a sudden, she wigs out, barking like crazy. I go into the kitchen, pull out the roaster pan drawer under the oven... a RAT!!! The body is 5-6 inches long and the tail another 3. No field mouse, no house mouse, A RAT!!! It even took a wiz in our roasting pan! I hope the thing likes Raid Rat Bait, because that's whats for dinner, buddy! Show of hands, who buys a new pan (it's a very nice calphalon pan that we got as a wedding gift) and who just says wash it VERY VERY good? Follow up question, how expensive a pan does it have to be before you say, wash it!

Southeast Botanical Gardens

Here are some of my favorites from our trip to the Southeast Botanical Gardens on Thanksgiving weekend...

While I'm on the subject....

The potty story reminded me of this. I know many of you have seen it on Facebook already, but... I can't help myself! It makes me giggle each time I see it...
