It's finally time to pin on the rank of Major! Col. Valle did a great job providing a brief history of Jason's career thus far and comedic relief as well. We are all so proud and blessed. Thank you to all who attended and made this day a memorable one.
Our summer visit to TX, was action packed, as if our TX visits are ever anything less. I didn't capture everything in photos because there was just too much. Here's a brief run down of our activities: The Met, Water Park, Athens fish hatchery, Ikea, Lake LBJ, lunch at the American Girl Store, and what would a TX visit be without swimming, swimming, and more swimming.
We went and toured the USS Alabama; what a moving experience. As we walked through the inside of the ship the smells and all the equipment almost brought to life what happened on that ship so many years ago. It was almost too much to take in, just the size of the ship itself is overwhelming.
We got to celebrate Rachel's baptism today. She was baptized by Ms. Jessica at Front beach in Ocean Springs, MS. We are so proud of her and can't wait to see what God has in store for our strong-willed little girl. In our pastor's words: She's off the market, satan beware!
Rachel turned 6 years old today! Where has the time gone?! She got an American Girl doll and many matching outfits to dress up with her doll, who she named Bailey.
Jason flew up to Maine and brought home a variety of live lobsters. Ethan and Rachel had fun unpacking them and Jason enjoyed eating them.
We hit the road and headed to TX for an action packed spring break this year. I don't think we could've added another thing to the calendar while we were there: Great Wolf Lodge, Easter egg hunts, American Girl Store, Lego Store, Central Market, Ice Skating at the Galleria, Friday night poker, Saturday morning football, not to mention all the family time with grandparents and cousins. My tempurpedic mattress never felt so good when we finally made it back to MS!
