Christmas & New Beginnings

Just before Christmas we moved into our new home in San Onofre, Camp Pendleton. What joy to be together again (and have a the move behind us and Christmas and new adventures ahead.) The kids didn't start school until the new year so we tried to spend the time getting unpacked, celebrating the holiday with family, spending a fun day at Sea World, and enjoying the beach.
Whew! Checking & double checking

Entertaining themselves in the midst of chaos!

Thanks to Dad's foresight we even had a tree for Christmas.

The end of a year of change and new beginnings!

Thanksgiving and Last hurrahs!

Thanksgiving meant the end of Lloyd's training and hope for a reunited family. We were able to spend Thanksgiving together at Lloyd's parent's house with his sister & her hubby. Then we parted ways for a few more weeks as we concluded the semester with lots of "last hurrahs" and Lloyd checked in at Camp Pendelton.


Lloyd's parents were in Hawaii but we were able to enjoy the holiday crashing at their pad.


Thankful wife.

Happy Family - together again!

Last hurrah: final Christmas program at AVCRC. Anika  sang some beautiful solos

Last hurrah: Moving out of the wonderful parsonage and true home for 6 years.


Last (and first) hurrah: Anika's Christmas & band concert


Fall 2014: Catching Up

Well, loyal blog watchers, forgive me for my lack of posting! And now I'm going to try a couple of huge catch up posts:-)  I read once that you will never regret blogging, only not doing it. So, I'm going to try and get a couple of months into a couple of posts. Here are a few things we did to keep busy while Lloyd was off at training:

Red Ribbon Week: The kiddos were all decked out in red!

Costumes for Trunk or Treating

FaceTime with Daddy!

Anika cheering at a Knights' Football Game!

Kathryn (somewhere in the back) cheering!

Good-bye party hosted by the Jungs!
