Easter is coming....

We have had a pretty boring week so far, but I have taken lots of pictures!! So here they are. Logan got excited about Easter coming and found the bunny ears the other day.
Bruin built a "mouse house" after reading: If you take a mouse to school.
Logan tried to help....
And then the boys watched a little Mickey Mouse....even Dylan strained his head trying to see the TV.

Pictures from the trip and Djibouti

Kuwait, Qatar, Djibouti

Kathy is working on uploading pictures to this album. I had to e-mail them to her because my upload is too slow. I'll comment them as she does. (Click the picture above to see the whole album.)

My little farmer....

The weather here is starting to warm up finally and were we able to get out of the house the last couple of days. Bruin has already started helping around the farm, driving the tractor with his uncle Brandon, Logan is very eager to watch, but not quite ready to hop on the loud noisy tractor. They both enjoyed helped grandpa drive the snowplow around the yard and Logan liked it so much he nearly fell asleep in the truck. We are all getting excited about the snow melting and being able to play outside without a full snowsuit.


My three boys....
And here is a picture of the best baby smile I've been able to get from Dylan
The long Vermont winters can make you do crazy things..........

Another Super Duper Tuesday.....

After being canceled last week due to a huge snow storm that left us with another 5" of snow Bruin's had his Karate class again. AND HE FINALLY GOT HIS UNIFORM!!! Unfortunately, he is the only one in the class (the others didn't show up) so Bruin is getting private lessons until more kids show up interested in the class. I said unfortunately because he gets nervous and there are a bunch of people that watch him while waiting for their class to start. But I guess he'll get used to it. Here are some pictures that I took when we got home. He is so proud of his uniform and Logan cannot wait to start and get his uniform too.

Hopping across the globe

We left Columbia, SC on Thursday at around 5 pm. We stopped for 1.5 hours in NYC to refuel then flew to a small airfield in Germany to refuel for another 2 hours and then flew on to Kuwait. We arrived here about 2300 on the 29th, which means that I get February tax free, plus all of the bonus pays, yay! Kuwait and Djibouti are 8 hours ahead of EST. We are supposed to fly to Qatar tomorrow and then from there to Djibouti on Monday. It's great to finally be getting this trip started so that it can start getting finished. It's pretty warm here and dusty. Some of the more sheltered folks are in a bit of shell shock living in tents with shower trailers and outhouses. Seems down right fancy to me. The shower and bathroom trailers are a little nicer than one I used to use in Sicily. I'll post pictures when I get to Djibouti.
