It's Fall

Here are a few more photos that I liked of the kiddos playing in the leaves in Greece.  Here in Spain we don't have a lot of options to have the kid's play in the leaves.  The price one pays for palm trees!

Eastern Med Cruise

Two weeks ago we left on a dream vacation out of Venice on a eastern med cruise.  We went with another military family stationed in Italy and had the times of our life.  I told Andy that, "I am a cruiser"!  we left out of Venice and traveld to Bari, Italy--Rhodes, Greece--Athens, Greece--Izmir, Turkey--Olympia, Greece, and Debrovink, Croatia.  The cruise was a relaxing 9  days  and three days to explore in Venice!

  I find going on a cruise SO relaxing. You unpack once, have no stress finding a new hotel, where to eat, where to get a drink, what to do at night, and to top if off EVERYONE has a blast!!!  Drew and Claire did beyond awesome and also love the cruise life.  We had an amazing experice and was able to see what I once read about in Jr. High.  We had over 500 photos...so here are a few random!

Venice really is one of the most beautiful cities in the world

Family Photo Shoot!

Last weekend our friend Maureen went with us on a family photo shoot in Puerto Sherry.  Puerto Sherry is our favorite beach spot five minutes from our house.  The kiddos did great and I even had my eyes open for the photos!  I can now order the Christmas cards!

Halloween Baloooooza

This past weekend we celebrated halloween and all it had to offer four times!  The kiddos loved it though, and so did our tummys!

Claire doing her "new" smile with her halloween shirt on before school

And it's costume time!  I wasn't sure if she would wear all of the pieces to the costume, however she LOVED it and now plays dress up in it!

Drew was the big Super Man!

Our base here does a "little tots" trick-or-treat where just the children of the base (vs. all of the spanish children) can go around to a blocked off parking lot and get candy. It's set up really cute with different departments throughtout the base all dress up and music playing.  Drew and Clarie loved it!

Drew did his own super hero hair that night---full of gel :)

So, this is Ava (who is wearing fake hair in this photo) a really cute nice girl.  She asked Drew a few weeks ago if he would be her boy friend!!! Drew said, "sure" not knowing what it was!!  Or maybe by his smile in this photo he does know what that means???

Drew with some more ladies.. our cute neighbor girls!

Man Time

Our swing set is used EVERY DAY!  When Drew has his buds over they stay so busy in it!  My dad sent Drew a few shirts of his from when he was a littl boy adn Drew LOVES wearing them for dress up!
