On Lackland AFB, there is an awesome park right next to the church, so Sunday morning, before church, we decided to have some fun. Jr.’s first time on the swing, slide, and driving (in the little wooden car they had in the infant playground). He really enjoyed it. Mom even went climbing through the slides and tunnels! Finally, when we went into church, we realized it was the Southern Baptist service, and being that we are Lutheran/Catholic, it made for an interesting, yet fun time of worshipping the Lord.
On Monday, Labor Day, we decided it would be fun to take a trip to Corpus Christi. Road trip!! We had a great time on the way down. We spent the four hours (2 hours each way) talking and jamming out to some awesome tunes; Queen, Led Zeppelin, and Journey, just to name a few! This was little man’s first time swimming in the ocean. Mommy and Daddy were so concerned with the baby, making sure he was lathered with SPF50/covered/comfortable/safe and having fun, guess what we forgot? I’m sure you guessed it! Sunscreen! AH!! So, three bottles of aloe later, Mommy still has the funniest tan lines and Daddy’s shoulders are purple. We had such a great time though, it was worth it!
Today, Mike graduated from “Integrated Command and Control Defense Course.”Received a diploma and everything! He even received the honorary “Airmando” patch, which is apparently what Security Forces Officers were supposed to be called back in the day! Haha! We have had such a great time together in San Antonio, it’s sad to see it end. God works in great ways though. This training was able to break up the year away from the family a little bit more. Mike will leave for Korea Thursday and Heather and MJ are going back to Colorado. Mike will come home in December for his mid tour. Counting the days. 90 to go!!
