I was so happy to attend my 3rd grader's Christmas Party Winter Celebration today. He has a fun class, a great teacher, and we really like the school. They each had a 'secret Santa' to purchase a book for then wrote clues about who they were on the gift. His recipient guessed who he was, but only after a few tries. He ended up getting a book from one of his best buddies, but still had a hard time guessing. It was fun to watch them. They also ate a well-rounded meal of pizza, chips, candy, and soda and enjoyed a cute craft, too. Love these kids!
Last Friday, my Family and I participated in the 2nd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division change of command on Fort Hood, Texas. Hubby became the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment and joined a wonderful group of "Red Dragon" Soldiers and Families. It's a dream come true for us ... one of those things you hope in the back of your mind you'll get to do one day, but know realistically that the chances are slim you'll get to do it. When I first saw his name on 'the list' that the Army publishes, I was elated for him. No one knows more than I do his passion for the Army and for the Soldiers in it. He is a wonderful leader and cares so much. We both knew that this would be the adventure of a lifetime. We explained this new job to our two boys (ages ten and six) as best we could and they kept saying, "We'll have 500 new friends on Friday!" as their summary of the discussion. =) The ceremony was amazing, a st
very cute~~~
