So I realize it's been a LONG time since we last posted, but we've had just a few changes. In no particular order we: shipped our kids to TN for a month, moved 3000+ miles, saw lots of good friends/family along the way, packed & unpacked our entire house, bought an RV, started a new job in the Pentagon, and a few other things. It has been a whirlwind of a couple of months, and we're finally settled in Alexandria, VA...very close to Mt Vernon. We're renting a house here in a very friendly neighborhood, and we're just 2 miles from the Mt Vernon bike trail that snakes along the Potomac River all the way into Wash DC! Bill has already ridden his bicycle to work and is running a lot (maybe in prep for another marathon?). Shannon is getting the house organized and has enrolled Maddie in swim lessons and preschool. The kids have adjusted and play so well together every day. The house is much larger than any other we've lived in before....translation: come visit!
The new Maples rig! Fun times ahead!
Heading home to TN! Thanks to both sets of gparents for sharing the load!
Bill's last flight @ China Lake. Preparing to get soaked!
Thought this was a pretty cool sign, esp considering it's in Las Vegas.
Did not expect a snowstorm as we passed through CO in late May! Not fun.
We drove through the same storm that leveled Joplin, MO. Not fun either!
Enjoying the botanical gardens in Huntsville w/the Hulls!
The kids enjoyed it too.
Nothing like popsicles on a warm summer day.
