We have been in the new house for over a month now. After living on air mattresses for a week, unpacking, ordering new furniture, painting, painting and more painting, we are finally settled in our new house.
We had great visits with all of the grandparents too! Bubba and Kiki were here just after the movers arrived with our stuff so they had the pleasure of helping us unpack. Bubba discovered that I (Patrick) had not put the lid to a paint can on securely, which promptly ended up all over him when he tried to take the can off a shelf.
Then we had a visit from Opa on his way to Dallas to start working for the FAA. His trip was followed up by a visit from Oma and Willow on her way to their new house in North Carolina. Hayden did a great job taking care of Willow (unfortunately, my plan to make him walk, feed and pick up Willow's poop backfired and didn't scare him off from wanting a dog).
Katy and Hayden started school at Moore Magnet this week too! Katy is teaching 5th grade Language Arts and Social Studies and Hayden started 1st grade. Brennan is in daycare for the first time in his life and seems to be enjoying it.
Since I am assigned to an airborne unit, I am required to jump once every three months. I haven't done it since I went to Airborne school as an ROTC cadet in 2003! I decided to go big on my first jump in 9 years, so I went on a UH-60 Blackhawk jump. It was a great time and I hope to do it again. Below is a link to a video from youtube of a UH-60 jump from the view of a jumper (he is in the exact seat I was in when I jumped today), but this is not of my actual jump. If you watch the video you can see everything I saw! Enjoy.
Visitors are welcome at anytime!
