Getting Settled

Now that we finally made it to Ft. Lewis, the task of settling into our new home is upon us. Francois has all kinds of Army things to do - getting checked in and assigned gear, a unit, getting to know where he's supposed to be and when... it is a lot of stuff. And then there is us. We need a home, a kitchen full of good food (as opposed to most of what we have had on the road), and some room to play. But while all that was happening, we managed to catch glimpses of the girls enjoying themselves and everyone relaxing together as a family. Proving that, as long as you are with family, you are home.

Wearing the Texas cowgirl outfits - to show everybody where we're from! =)

Oh my little princess! She is just such a character. She is always entertaining herself - and sometimes we are lucky enough to get to listen in.

Well, this picture is pretty much for Papa - as the girls refer to the American flag as Papa's flag. =) It is declared such as we pass schools, libraries, and the like. I keep trying to explain the flag belongs to all of us, but I am pretty sure Anais would prefer to call it Papa's flag anyways.

I could not help putting these in. This was the first time Giselle used a straw - and boy was she excited - and satisfied (from the looks of it)!

I also felt compelled to put in a picture of Mt. Rainier. This was probably the best view we had of it for weeks due to the clouds and rain - so we were thrilled to be able to actually see it!
