So I have failed miserably at updating this blog. Things have really picked up here in VA and we have become really busy. Here is a little of what has been going on...
Dan went to the field for a week about two weeks ago. They will go to the field about 4 more times before the end of TBS. During their time in the field the 2nd Lt all take turns executing an attack order they wrote. Dan was first up out of all the 2nd Lt and he did great. His scores came back stating he was above average and executed well. It was a big ego booster for him. It is coming down to the time for to choose his MOS (Military Operational Specialty) or in civilian terms, job. The order changes everyday, but here was the top five as of last I knew: Ground Intelligence, Infantry, Tracks, Tanks, Combat Engineers. Each different possibility could take us to a number of places at the end of TBS. It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds.
I have joined two different Bible studies, one through Women of the Chapel (a base organization) and one through the church we have been attending. Jackson loves spending time with the other kids while I am in class. But along with other kids comes other germs. We have both been fighting off a little cold the past week.
Other than the cold Jackson is growing like a weed. It is fun to watch him learn new things every day. His favorite word is "Yah". In fact, he says it so much the girls in childcare thought he should be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle for Halloween. Here are a few pictures I took this morning. He still isn't crawling, however he can get himself where he wants to go by rolling and doing a modified Marine crawl. No teeth yet either.
We have a new addition to our extended family. My cousin Ted and his wife Lara had a little girl on Saturday. Her name is Ellery Trellis Moore. She weighed 8 lbs 9 oz! She has experienced some seizure activity and has been transferred to another hospital in Chicago. After an MRI they discovered she has a small brain bleed. It is unknown at this time what permanent affects this will have on her. Please pray for her! Lara is still at the hospital where she delivered and has been unable to see Ellery in two days. My heart hurts with them as I remember what it is like to have a little one in the NICU.
I know this probably doesn't go into as much depth as you would like about our life here. I am rededicating myself to updating this more often.
