Spring is definitely here in Camarillo, although as I write this it is currently quite foggy! But inevitably the fog will lift and it will be sunny again this afternoon. I just wanted to share some pictures with everyone as I keep getting requests for house and belly shots :) Sorry there aren't too many belly shots, but rest assured, it it HUGE.
Just to update you all with what has been going on since we moved in, here is a quick run-down. Marin and I moved in while Tom was still in Fort Worth, TX finishing up his training. He got home on April 2nd, just in time for Easter. He was here for a good 3 weeks and then decided he had had enough and decided to go on a 38 day detachment. Just kidding - his options were to go now or in September and we decided that it would be better to go now so that he can be here for the first few months with the little man on the way. He left on Saturday and will be in Italy until mid May and then will go to Japan from there and be there until June 1st. So far he reports that the flying, although very slow,long and exhausting, is pretty fun and he's already seen some amazing places! Hopefully he will have a chance to post some updates from overseas.
In the meantime, Marin and I are holding down the fort here. Marin is doing really well at her new pre-school. She is also taking ballet and swim lessons and loving every minute of both. She is hilarious in the water! I can't believe how comfortable she is -- doing flips underwater and falling in intentionally from the side pretending like she's falling onto a bed with a ton of soft pillows. She loves to sing and play "school".
We LOVE our new church, Padre Serra. It is relatively new and is definitely one of the prettiest "new" style churches I have ever been in. The music is amazing and everybody is SOOOO nice. We've found the same to be true out in the community at large here as well. We are really loving Camarillo and are hoping we can stay here for awhile. There is a squadron right next to Tom's new squadron at Pt Mugu that has a couple of S-3s (the plane Tom flew in the fleet) attached to it. Every time I see one of them I want to cry! I love that airplane. Tom is trying to figure out a way to get to fly that funny looking plane again after his time in the C-130 is up. We'll see what happens!! Hope everyone is doing well. Enjoy the pics! FYI - if you click on the "view larger images" link, it'll take you to shutterfly where I have put descriptions of the pics --- some of them require some explaining (ie - Tom's hideous mustache!)
