rockport

we've made it down to the beach for the month of july. here's a shot from our back door where oggie spends lots of time fishing!

 

nana's new house

after the 4th, we headed to the beach via crane, tx to drop by nana's new place. og and am enjoyed getting in some great-grandma time.

 
 
 

the 4th

so, we said goodbye to the cousins in connecticut and shot over to fort davis for a laid-back country-style 4th of july. dad was celebrated his independence from shaving!

 
 
 
 

Cousin Camp in Connecticut

Summer is well underway! Oggie is getting invaluable baseball tips from Uncle Nate and cousin Ethan. Amity is full of smiles for everyone. Mom and Dad are holding down the fort with the 5 cousins during the day. We even get a little sleep now and then!

Am's Baptism

Oh, yea, before we headed out of town, we swung by the church on Pentecost and got Am baptized. She sounded pretty authentic at speaking in tongues once she was anointed by the Spirit. Here she is with her new godparents, Sebastian and Virginia.

update

All right. We are a vagabond family now. Jesse and the kids spent 2 weeks in Ft Davis while I packed up our life in Albuquerque, got promoted to Captain, separated from the AF the next day, and then hit the road and moved our household goods to Uncle Dave's garage in Austin. We just spent a couple days on the river in Junction, Texas. We're off to Connecticut tomorrow for the rest of the month, and then on to Rockport for July. I'll keep you updated as I can. For now, here's a pic from our mid-May trip up to Ouray, Colorado. It was so beautiful!

 

the goodbyes begin

We're going to miss Albuquerque. Sidsel and Else dropped by to 'vi ses'. We then headed out to our farewell picnic at Roosevelt park. Jesse whipped up some addicting brisket, and everyone brought great side dishes, to include several cupcakes of which Og and Louis made short work.
