"Airman Natie"

Not a single post in February...that's just wrong. :)

The first weekend in February we went down to San Antonio for Nate's graduation from Air Force Basic Military Training. He made honors graduate, which we are all proud of.

When we were on the way down there, we stopped at Target and got her a "big girl" seat. She's been much happier in a booster seat, and being in the car with her isn't nearly as much of a headache.

 

 Kadence was thrilled to see her "Airman Natie"...but not so thrilled that he didn't have any hair.

 They were being serious...or rather, trying to. :)

Goofing off and eating Thin Mints.

Kadence: Why did you shave your hair?

Nate: I didn't. Someone else did.

Kadence: But why?

Nate: Because they said I couldn't have hair.

Kadence: I have hair!

We had a good weekend with the family...with the exception of my severe germophobia kicking in whenever we were at the hotel. Every time Kadence touched something, it bothered me more than I can say...I really could have used some Xanax...haha. Big surprise, once we got home, I washed EVERYTHING we had taken with us, including dolls, and stuffed animals. lol

We were a little concerned that Kadence wouldn't sleep in the hotel with us in the same room. It was a little rough the first night, but she settled down fairly quickly the next night and it wasn't too much of a problem. Once we were on our way home, she kept asking if we could go back to our room, or back to the hotel. When I told her we were going home, she told me she didn't want to go home, she wanted to go to another hotel.

Nate is at Tech School in Balitmore now, and hopefully we'll get to spend more time with him after he graduates Tech School before he gets sent to his first assignment.
