Update!!

Good evening everyone! It's been awhile since I last posted, so I thought I'd give everyone an update... LOTS has happened since my last post!!

First, we have a new house in Corpus!!! After looking at some rental properties off base, we just decided that it was more cost effective to live ON base. We have a 4 bedroom home that we will be moving into as soon as we get there... Which brings me to my next piece of news...

The plan was for the packers to pack on Monday and Tuesday of next week. The loaders would load on Wednesday, and we'd all drive to Corpus on Thursday to unload either Thursday or Friday. WELL... We got a call today that the packers want to start packing THIS FRIDAY!!! YIKES!!! Good thing we already had a good start on our "to do" list!!! So, we're in overdrive now trying to get everything done in the next 2 days!!!

As for our little trip to Corpus last week, we had a GREAT time!! We all decided that Corpus seems like a nice place to call "home" for the rest of the year!! We went to the Texas State Aquarium (and bought a membership because with Maddy's love of fish, we're CERTAIN we'll be going back)!! Here are a few photos from the aquarium. Please excuse the poor quality. I used my little point and shoot and the lighting was terrible... :-)




Maddy and her new BFF... This guy followed us around telling Maddy all about all the fish!! :-)



Maddy and Abby... Abby's dad is in the class ahead of Bryan. We met them in Del Rio, and are THRILLED that they are already in Corpus, so we already have friends there!! :-)

A little family photo...


Also this past week, we let Amelia take her first bubble bath with Maddy. The very first thing Amelia did was scoop up some bubbles and taste them. HaHaHa. The girls were really at the end of their ropes that night, so they don't look super thrilled, but they really did enjoy it!! Promise!!!




Alright, well, I better get some rest... We have another day of hard work ahead of us tomorrow!! Love you guys!! :-)

The girls look as beautiful as ever, and very happy. I bet Maddy will be teaching Amelia all about the fish before it's over, if she can con the fish guy into sharing his secrets.
Looking forward to your new posts from the new home town...

Love you guys and miss you all BUNCHES.....Drive safely in your trek to your new home.....

The bubble bathing beauties look so darling. Maddy looks just like you and Amelia looks just like Brian. Such adorable girls.
