Family Visit

My family arrived on July 3rd and left on the 7th.  We had a wonderful time showing them all things Fort Sill and Lawton.  Brandon and I cooked a grand 4th of July meal complete with red white and blue cupcakes.  The boys thoroughly enjoyed seeing family and countless hours swimming with Sissy in the pool at Laquinta.  We were sad to see them go,  but know we will be living much closer in a few months.

Carter started swim lessons this week.  He is afraid of most of the tasks his teacher gives him,  but is slowly warming up.  Wesley is full of toddler energy and is starting to show promising signs of potty training readiness.  I have been spending time prepping paperwork and making lists for yet another move.  While exercising, taking the kids to the pool, spraypark and playdates with friends.

   Brandon is getting busy very quickly.  He is the PT leader for his small group and is responsible for leading PT every morning usually around 0500-0600.  The most recent news is he has been tagged to fly out to 29Palms California for 11 days next month.  The unit he is supposedly going to will be training there next month and the Marine Corps would like him to go too.  This trip has caught us all off guard,  but he is excited.  We are still trying to get confirmation about him deploying to Afghanistan in November.  We are hearing so many different things from people here and the Regiment in Lejeune.  At this point I am preparing myself that he will deploy so there will be no surprises.  We secretly hope he will deploy to get it over with right up front.  We shall see!!!!
