Quantico Sentinel, Vol. 1, Issue 3
I have been pretty remiss in updating the site regularly. There's no real excuse, other than living in a new country keeps you pretty busy.
Capt Mike and I have been having plenty of mini-adventures. We've explored Fredericksburg, Old Town Alexandria, and D.C.; we saw Canada's Premier rock band, The Tragically Hip, perform at a D.C. club with a max capacity of 1100 people; we attended the Marine Corps Birthday Ball (they sure do know how to throw a party); and, of course, we've been kept pretty busy with keeping Dexter and Zeppelin busy.
Today marked the first day we woke up to frost on the ground. That's right, November 7th, 2007. I can still get away with walking around outside without a jacket, but I have had to trade in my flip flops for socks and shoes. Hating to wear socks, I am glad I managed to go this long without them. I am sure I'll be able to nix them sometime in early April, too.
To occupy my time while Capt Mike's is monopolized by schoolwork, I've bought myself a guitar. My first lesson is tomorrow afternoon. So far, I can play three chords very slowly; sadly, they aren't chords that appear together in any songs I've ever heard.

Too funny. I hate wearing socks too! And so does mom. And so does Bobbin. :-)
Cool on the guitar!

What lovely babies. The boys are looking so healthy. Dexter still doesn't look too sure about his new brother.
I don't know what I'll do when we get back to the land of frost and snow either. I haven't even got socks here. I'll have to buy a pair of nylons to wear home on the plane at Christmas.
When are we going to see you two?
