In an effort to try to keep everyone updated, we're going to try this blogging thing again...thanks Susan, being able to see precious pictures of Tessa has spurred me to get back into action.

A quick update, Gray is getting ready to start kindergarten in the fall, and I'm a little freaked out about it! I can't believe my baby is already 5!!! Gary has PCS orders to North Carolina, and our original decision was to wait until next summer for Grayson and I to follow him - there was an impending deployment. After a recent family tragedy, Gary and I decided that we didn't want to be separated any longer than absolutely necessary, so I'm looking for a job in NC. Even more recently, we've decided to go ahead and get onto the housing list - there's a little bit of a wait - and when we get a house, Grayson and I will go, job or no job. We have to put our family first.

Other than that, things are a bit hectic between school, work and preparing for Aunt Boo's wedding in August, so I'll do my very best to update this thing at least once a week...I'm just not sure our lives are that exciting!

I hope you all enjoy keeping up, and please, please, please keep in touch!

Love,

Mandy, Gary and Grayson
