Sam has adjusted

Hi again. Well, Sam has decided that the beach is not so bad afterall :) As you can see he will head out into the water now and he gets pretty excited when we start talking about the big waves.

Today is the first real cold day since we got here. It is supposed to be 57 (not that cold...I know). There are quite a few people here renting the houses right on the water since it is cheap season, but it is too cold for most of the other houses to be rented.

I have Jake and Sam signed up on base at the Officer Wive's run daycare/preschool. They have drop in care so the boys can go play for an hour or two while I run errands. Helps make up for Jake missing school. I had him in another preschool here but I was not crazy about it. The one on base is much better and Sammy can stay too which he LOVES!

We are looking at neighborhoods and houses so we can be all set for our move next year and Kerry and I plan to attend the Marine Corps Ball Nov 10th which we have not done the past 2-3 years so that will be nice. A chance to dress up and have a dinner that lasts more than 10 min that I don't have to clean up :)

We hope all of you are well. I'll post again after trick or treat with some costume pics!

Lots of stuff

Hi from NC! We had a busy weekend and we are now settling into our temporary house here in Emerald Isle.

Jake was ring bearer for my cousin Justin's wedding. As you can see he was very handsome and he did a great job! No growling or crawling down the isle :)

We then headed to NC Sunday and got here late Monday night. You can see we have great views. We are second row from the beach with beach access about 25 yards from the driveway.

I took Jake, Sam and Apple down this afternoon. From the photos you can see Jake LOVED it and Sam HATED it :) Sam just kept saying "don't go down there" and then to top it off, on the walk home he got a burr stuck in his heel. Nice afternoon for Sammy :( Maybe he will warm up to it.

It is 80 here today so there were some people even swimming, but it is pretty dead around here...lots of empty beach houses.

Well, time to clean a bit and organize more. 4 months is awhile to live in someone else's house so I need to make it as much our own as I can :) Talk to everyone soon! Visit anytime!
