Pre-Deployment Activities: Sea World

Ok, so Ry didn't want to go to Sea World for the shows, but the aquariums to check out all the cool fish. We went on a Thursday in the middle of the week. I don't think we planned on it being a holiday here (Cesar Chavez Day) and kids were out of school. We went anyway and had a blast. The shows were amazing and I can't wait to go back when the Lovelands come out!!

Moving to a new city!

The Navy is full of adventures for our family. We recently relocated to the West Coast and sunny San Diego! We love our house now, and so does Kodah. He's a fan of the backyard though ;-) Here are some pictures of what the place looks like!

BBC Week 2

Week 2 Prompt: In the book Theo talks about how he's scared to have kids and doesn't ever want to have any. Do you feel his feeling are valid?

As always, what are your feelings about the book this week?

I think his feelings are valid. I sometimes feel that people are worried about their family history when it comes to having kids. I am not sure if he is really justified with this disease(not reading enough research), but I know that parents can be carriers for other syndromes, and issues that could bring concerns in having children.

I have an idea where the book is going and it is great so far... In fact as soon as I am done writing this I am going back to reading my next 100 pgs.

Side note: talked to my dad and he said that my sister did end up going quiet at a point in her childhood after she babbled a great deal. He also said that he was not a fan of the pediatrician that she had so they switched before having me. Also he said if it's shots that did this to her, then he wished for a shot to bring her back to "normal." There are lots of times I just wish she would "wake up." My dad works so hard to help her and I just want him to not have to worry about her anymore... Ok enough rambling :-)
