Random Tidbits from the Week

Paige started this project while Nolan was gone this past week for FEX III...
Our wonderful retired neighbor, Marie, was kind enough to teach Paige one afternoon!




Prayers for Paige's mom and stepdad, Tim... Tim was in a horse riding accident and spent last week in the hospital with a broken pelvis... :-(

Only at a Marine Corps Base elementary school do they take

their grades k - 3 kids on a 1.5 mile "Fall Hike." Good times!

On Friday, the sentry (military police) at the Iowa Jima gate of Quantico took my temporary car registration sticker, saying that I had changed it's expiration to January 07... Riiiiiight, keep telling yourself that buddy...

I was able to get permanent stickers that afternoon, so all is well!

FEX III went well for Nolan and we are looking forward to finding out his MOS!!!

The 231st Marine Corps Ball for TBS is this Saturday, so we will be sure to post pictures...

Happy Birthday USMC! :-)

I'll try to think of more... check back!
