Jarom Walking!

Here is Jarom walking. Yes, Dane is singing and playing the piano in the background! We have been really busy with getting everything ready for Dane leaving in less than a month which brings STRESS!

Jarom

Messy, Messy, Messy

I started feeding Jarom spagetti and he kept taking it out of his month, looking at it and then putting it back in his month and then eat it. It got to be really messy, so I just put the entire jar on his tray. I will not do that again, BIGGER MESS! I have forgotten how babies make such a mess while eating real food!

Dinner

Thursday night we went to Dinner with Dane's new unit (only Officers and above). They have these dinners to welcome new people and say goodbye to the ones leaving that have had leadership. I really liked the view, so we had someone take a picture of us.

As most of you know, Dane is scheduled to deploy very soon. The rumor is mid November now. I think Dane told me the tanks are being shipped off very soon. And Dane's office computer stuff is already packed. We have many meetings to go to about the deployment this month. We bought Dane a laptop computer with a webcam today so we can stay better in touch with each other. I believe a laptop is a good marriage investment!!!!

Dane's new Unit

Starting this past Monday, Dane got new orders for 172 Support Battalion and is in charge of S3. I am not really sure what he will be doing yet myself, but he is really happy! The person over the entire battalion was at the laundry mat and Dane was there (those 45 days gone). Dane did not know who he was at the time and said, "I wish I had a broom to sweep this place up" the guy seemed surprised. Dane said, " it's the boyscout in me. Always leave things better then when you found them." Well, days later Dane got called in and was told he was wanted in the 172 Support Battalion and if he wanted to go. They really appreciate him there and his hard work. What a blessing how things just fall into place. He will be, hopefully, even more safer while deployed now :)

Busy Weekend!

Friday Devin had a field trip (Volksmarch to the Fall Festival). They took pictures of the kids before their field trip wearing there daddy's wear, SO CUTE! Devin said he was much stronger after wearing all the gear, very heavy!




Us walking on our Volksmarch. They put up an Army bridge thing for us the walk under, cool. It was SO SO SO SO COLD. It started to rain, so the fall festival with the jumpy things was not open yet until the rain stopped. So the class went back to school.

After the sun came out, Devin, Jarom and I went back to the Fall Festival and played a little until Dane got off work.

Devin asked the face painter to paint Thomas the Train and she did not know who that was. I said just a blue train. Devin still loves trains!

Saturday, we went to an Army Flea Market and founds lots of good deals like heavy clothes for Jarom and more toys. Then we went to Ufra 2008 for the Germans which was like a Fair. They had a museum with the Tomb of Tutankhamun, Valley of the Kings 1361BC-1352BC. They actually had the mummy of Tutankhamun there and all the findings. The picture above is one you could buy from the gift shop. Of course, they would not let you take pictures in the museum. It was really neat to see all the Egyptian stuff.

PS, Melody, we did watch Conference the best we could being 6 hrs ahead of Florida time!

Fall is HERE!

Well, you can tell fall is here in Germany. The leaves are turning and I love all the colors. Living in Florida I do not see the leaves turn like this. Here is some pictures of our backyard.




Below is Dane in our apple tree. The apples here are finally good to eat. We have so many. We decided to pick apples as a family and take lots to church and give away to the members. Hopefully Devin learned something from that. He stood at the church door giving the bags of apples to the members. They were all gone by the end of church.
