Well, I have just a little catching up to do. Chuck (Poppy) came to visit us 14-17 April for Marc's change of command (15 April) and we had a GREAT weekend. On Friday we all went to Marc's change of command. He is now the commanding officer of Alpha Battery, 1st Battalion, 11th Marines. On Saturday, we went to the beach (second week in a row for us!) and it was absolutely gorgeous. Poppy helped Alex build a giant sand castle with a moat. We stayed 3 hours and got lots of sun and fun.
Mr. Funny
That's Marc and me (not models), not watching Alex.
I showed Alex how to sink his feet in the mud..he thought that was neat-o.
Playing in the mud
Splish splashing around
he got his nerve up and wanted to wade out deeper with us...he love it!
Alex and I took Rummy for jog a few weeks ago and he tripped running uphill. After lots of tears and me carrying him halfway home (whew!) we cleaned it up and got a band aid. All he could talk about was "all the blood" which was very minimal, ha ha! I told him, "Wow, that's a big boo boo." He said, "Yeah, that is not cool." and he held his shorts up the whole way back to keep them clean (yikes that is so me).
shrek bandaid...and a red popsicle topped it off, all is now well.
starting the castle...
WOW! nobody's getting in with buzz lightyear and a shark guarding the castle...
just lounging...this was towards the end of the 3 hours so he was getting tired
After Marc's change of command...
alex was enthralled with the guns and trucks
we are so proud of daddy!
here, Marc is taking the Battery guide-on from the other Capt, signaling him taking command of the Marines/Battery
Marc then gives the guide-on to the 1stSgt, who reposts it
now Marcs stands on the right, in command of the formation...
Swimming lessons are paying off!
