We met Sara, Emma, and Adam at the Pentagon for a tour and then went to Georgetown for dinner at the Tombs! We had a great time. Thanks again Sara (and Bob).

Madie had some fun with yogurt this morning for breakfast. First she used the spoon, then she decided it was a little easier just to dig into the cup with her paws.

Some pics from Christmas

A shot of Adam and his surprisingly quiet friend in Georgetown.

A couple of shots of Madie and Ann at La Madeleine.
Having some fun with packing paper.

Madie called Daddy to wish him a happy Thanksgiving. 

Some pics from Blair and Adam's visit for Thanksgiving. 

Some pics of Madie on the mall in Washington and at the Discovery Room in the Natural History Museum. 

I'm headed back to OKC for my radar training on November 15th. I just found out on my first day at the TRACON that a slot at the academy had opened up and since I'm first alphabetically, I was chosen to go. Unfortunately, Madie and Ann won't be able to come. So, we'll be apart for 4 weeks. However, I'll be home a little bit before Christmas and will be able to visit friends and relatives for the Holidays.

Ann is going to try and keep the blog updated while I'm away. See you guys around Xmas!

Some shots of Shenandoah National Park from Dickey Ridge. 

Some shots of us hiking in the Shenandoah National Park. We had a great day this weekend to explore a small portion of the park's 500 miles of trails. 

Madie and daddy in our new kitchen. 

Madie loves the elephant that Uncle Andy and Aunt Karen got for her.
