A family of pirates!

This year we are going to be pirates! Arrrrgh! I love getting to dress up with the girls! It is so much fun! As you can see We have Captain Charle, First Mate Rachel and their deckhand Mommy! There will be more pictures to come after we go trick or treating! We are so excited!! I have to say I think I have two of the prettiest pirates in the world!

Captain Charle

First Mate Rachel

Just an update

We are getting out of the navy and so our life is going to be changing drastically in the next few months with more to come I'm sure. Biggest change is we are getting ready to move back to Anacortes and I will be getting a job :)

Rachel is doing great in school and loves her teacher. She is making a lot of new friends and was able to keep a few from the last few years as well! She is learning to read some basic words and is able to write a lot more. I am very proud of her and have no doubt that by the end of the year she will be reading books all by herself! She is not to happy about moving away from her friends and going from 2 to 3 days a week school to 5 days but she will deal with it. She is happy that she is going to be near her cousins though!

Charle is learning at home and so far knows the letters A and B by sight :) which I am very proud of! She is turning 3 at the end of the month :( time really flies. We tried to get her into the developmental preschool but they say she is to advanced for it! Which is great news of course but at the same time I think preschool would have really helped her a lot. When we move I'm going to look into the local preschools and see what I can do. I will be working for the first time in her life and that is going to take a bit of a toll on her I'm sure but being non military we are going to need 2 incomes. She is ALMOST potty trained...she was fully when we were visiting Granny and Grandpa but when we came home things changed. She is doing better I just have to remind her A LOT.
