YUM

We made these delicious wonders the other night.  Secret sauce= broccoli slaw with a generous amount of lime juice and chopped cliantro added to it.  Then add shredded chicken, green pepper, tomatoes, black beans, avacado, salsa, and cheese.  DELISH

Warning:  The broccoli slaw mix is HORRENDOUS by itself.  But you can use ALOT of it on these tacos and it is the icing on a very yummy cake.  :) 

April Craziness!

April is done already!?  It went so quickly!  We have been very busy.  Good friends of ours had their first baby on tax day, Noah had minor surgery that went very well, and of course there is never a dull day for Josh being Aide de Camp.  A couple weekends ago he got the chance to tour a nuclear submarine!  We helped a friend move, have done some significant yard work to our own house and another, and lots of trips to the potty with our newly diaper free boy--JACK!!!!  Josh works at least 14 hours a day and usually has events a few nights/weekends a month, so the kids and I are grateful for being keeping busy.  It's been a hard month, too.  We are looking ahead to the summer and trying to figure out what we're going to do with ourselves when all scheduled programming ceases.  Days can get very long with no plans.  And the kids will do well in the house for two days in a row, but at the end we are all on each others nerves.  Ha!  So we will be looking forward to the Savannah Children's Museum, the soft play areas at the mall, reading time at the library, hopefully a summer Bible study, time at the park, our new water table toy and outdoor toys. 

We also have a lot to look forward to in May!  The pool opens May 1st, Josh's Mom is coming to visit over Mother's Day weekend, our 7 year anniversary is the 13th!!!, our friend Amber is getting married the next weekend in Nebraska (Josh, Noah, and I are going to make the quick trip!), then we have some Atlanta friends coming to visit for Memorial Day, round that up with the beginning so summer birthday fest....Grandpa Schweitz on the 28th then Jack turns 2 (!!) June 2nd!

This picture is my attempt to keep the kids occupied while I sorted out small and winter clothes to put back into boxes. 

Hope you are excited for May Day- and we are sending warm weather prayers to those of you who have yet to see spring really arrive!

6 Months old!

Can you even believe it?!

Stats:  17 lb 11 oz and 27 inches long.  :)  He's on the tall side 76th percentile and a little under normal (45th) for weight.  Smiley, happy, and wonderful!

Little Noah, we love you so much and can't believe how fast time is flying by! 

He Is RISEN!

I've been listening to some great Easter songs and though I would compile them for all of you. I know some of the versions aren't the greatest, but the fact that these songs are available on YouTube is pretty awesome! :) HE IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED!!!!!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

In case you didn't know, St. Patrick's Day is a big deal in Savannah. :)  So we celebrated as well by all wearing a little green to church! :)
 

 

Pretty cute! :)

An Update!

So I know it seems weird to say that the sunny south has the blahs of winter, but it does! Even the breezy 60s, and sporadic barren trees leave one wishing for spring. :) However, we are now wishing for summer since the pine pollen (pretty sure this was where don't eat yellow snow came from) has been in full effect for a few weeks now.

Nothing too exciting has been going on, just going thru life. So I thought I would share what a typical week looks like for us. Sunday morning we go to our awesome church that we LOVE, Savannah Christian Church and during the first service Josh serves as a small group leader in the Trikes (3-yr-olds), and I help at the kids welcome desk since we have a fairly large kids program. Then we go to 2nd service and head home for relaxing (and laundry hahaha).
Monday and Tuesday are usually running errands and hanging around the house.
Wednesday morning the kids and I go to Bible Study Fellowship. It is amazing, and a national organization! See if there's one near you, it's pretty fabulous! The kids LOVE their classes they go to there also. They always ask me if it's Wednesday yet. :)
Thursday morning the kids and I go to PWOC which is (Protestant Women of the Chapel) a women's Bible study on base. It is all morning and super fun. Usually we end up eating lunch with some other moms and kids.
Friday...home usually recovering from two days in a row out and busy.
And Saturday..the kids' 2nd favorite day because Daddy's home :) And we do lots of laundry. Haha.

Pretty low key. Just busy enough! Josh of course works all week, and his days are long and never the same. Always good for a couple stories at the end of the day. And if you had clearance, I could share them with you. Hahaha. Just kidding. But, as the Army says, OPSEC is every one's responsibility. (Operational Security). But he does like his job.

Also, here's a current snapshot of what the kids are up to now:
