Hayden the Ham

Thanks to daycare, Hayden knows all sorts of fun (and often annoying) songs. And boy does he like to sing for anyone that will listen!  I've recently taught him and Patrick Oma's "Good Morning, Have a Happy Day" song.  Josh, Ali, and I would cringe each school morning when we'd hear Oma come in our rooms singing the overly-enthusiastic song.  At first, Hayden would refuse to get out of bed until Mommy sang the "Happy Day song".  But now, it has become my favorite way - largely because it is their least favorite way - to wake up on those particularly stubborn mornings (wink)!

With all of Hayden's music wafting through our home, it seems only fitting that we share his musical talents with you!  Now if only Patrick would get me a piano....

Our first true military experience...

We have been anxiously awaiting a call from the LT COL in charge of base assingments for the 2008 JAG Class. Well, the magical Sept 15 date came and went with no word. Eventually, after calling the LT COL herself, we found out that we will not be placed anywhere until it is confirmed that Patrick passed the bar!

Bad news: More waiting. Welcome to the Army!

Good news: We were told we'll definitely get one of our top choices, with the exception of Alaska or Kentucky (which is just fine since they weren't my favorites anyway....but hey, something had to come before Korea!).

Next magical date? October-ish.

So it is either:

Europe

Ft. Bragg, NC

Ft. Sam Houston, TX

Ft. Stewart, GA

Ft. Jackson, SC

Ft. Gordon, GA

Well, Katy is in class on Monday and Tuesday nights so that means it is quality time for Hayden and me.  Katy has two classes this semester (Technology in the classroom and Teaching Mathematics), and then she does student teaching next semester.  Soooo, since she is in class now and Hayden has just gone to bed, I thought I would post some new pictures.  Mostly from the OBX.  

Beachin' It

Patrick, Hayden, and I met up with the Fultons for a little vacation in the Outer Banks, NC. We all had a great time, including Hayden who has figured out he wants to grow up and be a beach bum. I guess we can't all have high standards. It was especially nice for Patrick to unwind after a long couple of months preparing for the VA Bar Exam.

Here are some of the best pics...

Keeping up with the Regans

It seems we're overflowing with pictures or funny Hayden stories these days, so what better way to share than win a blog!  We'll try to update as often as possible and include pictures, podcasts, whatever!  Any suggestions, just let us know in the "Comments" section!  

Talk to you all soon!
