Advice needed

Mike is updating his "dreamsheet" and I like to think that someone will actually look at that when they decide where they will send us next (maybe?). So, if anyone has any info- good/bad about these bases, their surrounding areas or if you have suggestions for better ones- let me know! We probably won't be moving for a few more years (like 3 or 4? I don't really know)

Wright-Pat OH (I believe this is in the SW corner... Mike has family in the OH/PA area)

Scott IL (St.Louis)

Tinker OK (OKC)

McGuire NJ

Andrews MD

McConnell (this is 5 min from my parents house!)

Lackland TX (San Antonio)

Hanscom MA (near Boston)

Faith Update

In the past 2 weeks Faith has sat up on her own, said mama, got up on all 4s, said dada (and baba), crawled, had her first tooth come through, and she will be 6 months on the 14th. It's been quite an exciting time! She is so sweet... I love her so so so much! The teething hasn't really affected her, sometimes (like once or twice a night, or not at all) she cries in her sleep, but if we pick her up she stops, and for a while she wouldn't nurse unless I was laying down or she was in the sling. She also doesn't like to eat very much anymore which makes me sad. Well... she does most of her eating in her sleep at night. Her enjoyment currently comes from: electrical cords (mainly the powercord for this computer), remotes, feet/shoes, ice cubes, turning on the ps3, water bottles, scratching and pinching us. We haven't given her any solids yet. I think we'll start with mashed avocado sometime...soon?

And here is a video for proof (the "ball" and "I fell down" is just coincidental babbling my baby is a genius).

Shoes

Don't you hate it when you find really cute, cheap shoes... but they are a 1/2 size too small, but you buy them anyway and hope your feet will magically fit into them after you leave the store or that they will stretch out eventually.

On the right, we have a brown maryjane... $4 at payless. I wore them for 10 min on Sunday before we left for church and got a blister... 10 MINUTES! Not too bad, since I only wasted $4.

And, on the left, we have a brown Coach sneaker... $80, originally $120 (this was in my frivolous spending days, ha!). I think I have worn these once and I've had them for 3 years.

These are my only brown shoes people!

The sneakers didn't feel too bad when I put them on for this picture, surprisingly! Maybe they knew I was thinking of donating them to goodwill for some lucky, lucky person with size 5.5 feet.
