Miur Woods and Life Update

Hey everyone!

It has been awhile since I have wrote I am sorry for that. I have been overwhelmed with work and life. I am doing welling training to leave for WOBC in AL still. The baby is going and has started kicking now! We find out the sex of the baby 14FEB07! I know everyone keeps asking so soon we will know. We had another ultrasound and the baby has 10 fingers and 10 toes. Thumb sucker though what a bad habit. :)
It has been raining non stop here in the bay. I am ready for summer! I have been traveling a lot for work but, mostly throughout CA. That is a good thing but, I am still gone days at a time and I really don't care for it. I am only 5 classes from finishing my BS. I hope this will bring a better opportunity to bring me back to MN. I like CA and have gained a lot from it but, I may start looking to come home in the next year if the ARMY continues with its non stop punishment. It has gotten so bad now that I have volunteered to go to Afghanistan and Honduras. We may have a Iraq tour coming up again I missed the last one again. I know you think I am crazy but, I would make more money and have a much easier position. I will keep you posted.

This past weekend Maria and myself had Josh, Mara and Logan Halverson over for a weekend trip to Miur Woods just N. of San Francisco about 12miles. We got to see one of the last Redwood Forests on the coast and man it was great. So clean and refreshing. We have a lot of fun. Mara knew every sign before we got to it. I think they have been a few times. Josh and I just looked like asses most of the time when he wasn't busy changing his kids butt! Man that kid poop a lot!!! We also splurged and ate at IHOP. ;) Nadia couldn't make it but, we got to show her all the pictures. She laughed:)
Marias belly is showing pretty good now.

Marias excellent picture taking. Josh and I were trying to hold the same tree up.

I hope you are all doing well and life is not treating you so bad. I miss ya'll and have included some pics for you.
Take Care;

James
