A Great Weekend

We were so happy to have Tabetha, Ayla, and Sophie here for a few days even if it meant I had to drive to the airport in Oakland by myself to pick them up! White knuckle driving, Mark calls it, and boy was that accurate on Thursday. We all went to Marks Change of Command Ceremony on Friday morning, enjoyed lunch there and spent time being introduced to people I will never remember their names! Mark finally, once again, has "a home." Saturday morning we went to China Town and had a good time; Tabetha created her Christmas list there too, LOL! We drove along the coast on the way home, longer than we expected, but the beauty made the time worth it. Saturday evening, two of Tabetha's online mom friends came with their children. Meet and greet, laughter and chaos, smiles and sisterhood over a huge pot of spaghetti, salad, freshly baked bread, and dessert! It was so nice to pull out a bowl of freshly picked cherries to snack on as well!


The girls rode together, Mark and Tabetha took turns pushing the stroller up and down the hills.


They had to touch everything, wow, lots to see!


Tabetha doing the modeling thing!


Can't beat this beauty!


Lots of kids!
