Back to Basics...and Updates

Well, here I am back with my original blog. The other site, although very neat, proved to be too much of a hassle to deal with. It will not hold very many photos (a travesty to a photographer!!) and is just to complicated to quickly use for updates. Soooo, here we are again. :-)

Well, lots has happened since my last blog, so here we go with a quick run down. Jonathan went to Basic Training, graduated, and is in Tech School at Keesler awaiting his first assignment when his training is over. He is doing well, and we miss him terribly!! Alyssa will be turning 15 this week, and is very excited about that! LOL She is having a sleepover birthday party will all of her close girlfriends, and I have no doubt they will be up all night long being silly and having fun. All the kids have started school- Alyssa in high school (which she LOVES, and is very popular), Ryan in 4th grade with-PRAISE GOD- a wonderful male teacher this year, Kaylee in 1st grade with a sweet teacher that she loves and loves her (Kaylee has also lost both front teeth, which you can see in the pic), and little man...well, he is enjoying having Mommy back all to himself during the day. He has gotten in 4 molars in addition to his other 8 teeth, and has become very profficient in using the word "No." But he is so loving and sweet, and completely spoiled and attached to Mommy and Daddy...so much so that we are dealing with major separation anxiety when either of us leaves.

Paul and I are great. Paul is busy working, and has been in a big leadership position at work, while although great for his career, bad for time off! :) We are looking forward to our trip up to Garmisch with our church conference in October. I have been busy with, you guessed it...school, and I have also begun teaching ballet, tap, and jazz on base a couple days a week. I love it and Kaylee is in two of my classes and is loving that. My photography is still going good as well.

Well thats it for now. Here are a couple pictures, and I will write again soon.

Love you all,

Brittany

So proud of our boy!!

Last night was special...Jonathan graduated from high school. I had tears in my eyes watching him walk across that stage. I was remembering when he was little and all he cared about was riding his scooter all over creation and Tyndall AFB. :) I can't believe he is 18 and all done with high school!!! He looked so handsome, and we are so proud of him. He is now preparing to head off to join the Air Force just like his daddy in the next couple of months, and we are so proud of him for that as well. Not only is he our sweet and caring boy, but also will now be one of the many brave young men defending the freedom of our nation. Please keep him in your prayers as He goes that God will continue to wrap him in His wings after he has left our nest. I am so blessed to call him my son.

I am attaching a few pics from last night. Look at Jonathan in his cap and gown, and standing with his proud papa!!
