We have been really, really, really busy for the last several weeks. All of the girls had end of the year performances and class parties. We had 30 cadets over for dinner, I held a garage sale, and Jimmy had multiple events for Graduation week at the Academy (the Ring Dance, the Commissioning ceremony, Graduation,and Jimmy's Change of Command Ceremony). On Saturday, we attended two weddings at the chapel on base. Yesterday was our last event - Emmalena's Continuation Program. It is hard to believe she will start junior high next year! Next week Ali turns four, and we move in 19 days (YIKES!) Whew! I don't know how much I will be posting as I prepare for the move, though I will get some pictures of Ali's party up. Here are some pictures of the last few weeks to hold you until then.

Isabella's class had a beach party and one of the activities was painting with a frozen, dead fish. Gross, but the kids loved it!
Cadets
Cadets' shoes and jackets - that was only half. The rest were on the other side of the door.

Commissioning Night

Jimmy's AMT's had a flag flown for me over the cadet area and it was presented to me at the Commissioning ceremony. I was completely surprised and very touched. I was also a nervous wreck because they presented it to me in front of 300 people!

The Happy Graduate!
Poor little Ali has been a trooper through all of this, but Tuesday she was tired out. We had to go to the moving office on base (TMO for you military folks) and then run errands. By the time we left Costco, she just passed out, straw still in her mouth. Now that's tired!

The girls are adorable and Jimmy is handsome as ever... but OH, you look GORGEOUS! I love your hair and dress for the dance!
See, it;s true... the harder you work, the cuter you look! Ha!!!
Okay, not sure why it published it twice... Blogger kept telling me I had "conflicting edits"... Sorry!
AWESOME pictures!!! YAY! Big CONGRATS to "The Graduate"...so proud of Emmalena and her straight A's/Presidential Award!! And, to "The Thespian, Isabella, LOOOVVVEE it!! So cute. Love the idea of painting a dead fish ... a little odd/different, but neat! And, to Little Miss 4 Year Old ... adorable as ever. You guys look great ... Congrats on moving on to bigger and better things in San Diego ... Oh, and that's very cool the cadets gave you the flag flown over the Academy ... a very touching gift. The crap we put up as military spouses doesn't go unnoticed. :)
Love the pics. Don't you just love (not) the busyness. But what fun. And Isabella as Nemo - how appropriate. And Emmalena - growing up so beautiful! And Ali, as cute as ever. Love you guys.
