So here we are, back in Corpus Christi. My son is taking his FIRST morning nap since being in our apartment!!! Bonus!!! So here I am blogging instead of unpacking any of the remaining boxes or going through the numerous things that need to be sorted, figured out and dealt with!
We left California on the 28th of July. We stopped and hung out for a little while at my Aunt's house and hung out with my cousins. One who was in charge of keeping the dogs from eating Jr, the other was wrapped up in his video game. (he did get Chris to play with him for a bit) Then we were off for dinner with our friends Julie, Cooper and Julie's mom, Janet. (Thanks agian Janet for dinner!!!) (pics to follow in a photoblog) Then we stopped by my Papa's house on our way out of California. Junior showed off his ability to walk and get into EVERYTHING! He also let Papa Chas know when something was out of place from our previous visit (Papa tried to put his excersize ball in the bedroom - Jr did NOT agree, he felt that it should stay in the living room for Jr to run it into everyone!) Jr got a bath one more time in Papa Chas' kitchen sink and ready for bed before we continued on to San Diego for the night - so as to avoid the traffic in the morning.
On the 29th we stopped at Ft. Huachaca or as I like to call it (because I can hardly spell it let alone SAY it) Ft. Wannahawkaloogey. (Hmm too many viewings of Finding Nemo maybe???) :) No offense is intended towards the Army there either ;). Stopping there allowed Jr and I to meet face to face for the first time (and Chris for the first time ever) with Diana and Elijah. Diana is among a group of my friends who where were all pregnant at the same time and due to deliver our little guys about the same time. (Diana is also friends with Julie, and is the Chief cook and bottle washer over at iCare !) Pictures will follow in a photo blog later on ;).
On the 30th we made it to Sonora, Tx. We stopped earlier in the day, in hopes that by getting Jr (and us) to bed at a more reasonable hour it might help get all of us adjusted to the time zone change a little easier once we arrived here. (So far Chris and I seem adjusted...Jr is a little slower to catch up). We took Jr in the pool in effort to expend some energy. We where unsure how this would go over since he HATES cold water. Thanks to the Texas heat - the pool was refreshing but not really cold. He had a blast splashing and "pushing" Dad around the pool.
We arrived in Corpus Christi on the 31st and began the process of moving into our apartment. Jr seems to be adjusting just fine. I think when he eats is when he misses the dogs the most (they are still in California with my mother in law) because they aren't there to "feed". We have made a trip to Cole park which Jr seemed to enjoy but there where too many kids to really enjoy the park :-/ so I think I'll be exploring other options for him. We have also been to the pool here at the complex, and agian he seemed to have fun - he was attempting to push off of me towards his dad... so I think swimming lessons are in his future!!! (yay a fish!! - just like his Momma AND his Daddy!)
Other then that, Chris is back to work. No word on when we are headed to FL yet. Hopefully we will hear something soon. It is very odd to live in an apartment and know that it is temporary and not make the attempts that one normally would to make it "home" - you know like hanging pictures etc. (heck half our house is still in the storage unit!) - One exciting development. Our dryer went out last night. We have had our set for 11years and have tossed the idea around of replacing them for a while... last night it came to fruition. :(. There are pictures of Jr "helping" Dad diagnosis the problem with the dryer and "helping" to install the new appliances ;).
Off to download pictures so that I can post them... you all deserve something to feast your eyes on other then this book I've just updated!)
