NCO of the Quarter!

Hank was awarded by the Naval Academy Alumni Association as NCO (non-commissioned officer) of the Quarter here at DLI. He didn't even know that he had been nominated for it. He got to stand up in front of the thousands of other soldiers and be recognized for "exceeding the standards of excellence" by the Colonel. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be there because someone forgot to tell him that he was getting an award and his wife might like to attend. Lame. I'm pretty proud of him though, it's a very prestigious award.

Congrats Hank! You're just all sorts of famous. (ref. to library ads) Must be something in the Cali air or something.
Danica-you're so adorable. It was my goal when I was pregnant to be cute and you have def. done that!

I am finally blogging about our big trip to Hawaii last month. It was our 3rd anniversary and our dear friends, the Barnums, said we could come visit them anytime we wanted....so we did! Here are a lot of pictures, in no particular order: On the actual day of our anniversary, April 19th, Hank and I left the baby with a sitter and hit the town by ourselves. Since I wasn't a fan of the whole snorkling thing, we took a submarine ride to get a good view of the sea life. Yes, that is a real sea turtle in the real ocean, 100 ft underwater. I snapped this picture out my window. The view of Waikiki from our sub before we went under. The flag at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. It has been raised to half mast everyday since the memorial was erected. Hank helping raise the flag first thing in the morning. "Give me gum gum, dumb dumb." Us and the Barnums at the Temple.

So Sleepy . . .

So, we may be terrible parents, but we thought this was so funny. Jessica wouldn't take an afternoon nap today and by dinnertime she was exhausted. She was so tired that she couldn't even chew her food. The best part was that Hank could not stop laughing at her and it was keeping her awake. This video was much longer, but I cut it down...because watching a baby fall asleep may not be as interesting to you as it was to us.
