Ben started the new year off with a trip to Hawaii, training in Illinois, and is back on the road. Rhone has been
keeping busy with swimming lessons, playing in a tiny skiff of snow, and
other random activities. We spent about 10 min in the freezing cold
for my friend to snap a few 3 year old pictures of Rhone. We lost his
lightening mcqueen car in the process. Ben was a good sport and put on
his wader, but we didn't quite manage to rescue the car. We've also
started getting ready for little tater baby. One friend gave me a
whole bunch of hand me downs, so I've been sorting through them and another friend helped me make a baby quilt. We put
together her dresser and painted the crib. Rhone loves helping anytime
there are tools involved. Just before Thanksgiving we got new carpet
installed and new furniture from Lovesac. I spent today cleaning up the
house so we could take pictures to post it for sale, so I thought I'd
include one with the carpet and couch. The couch is completely modular
and can be arranged tons of different ways. Speaking of moving, Ben has
a tentative new assignment to Beale Air Force Base in Northern
California. We were pretty surprised, but now that we aren't so
shocked, we are getting excited about getting back to the West and
hopefully Ben will like flying a new plane.
