Northwest, Easter, and In-Betweens.

We have had a very busy month! First I went to Portland and Tacoma to spend a few days with family! I spent a week total in the northwest and got a good dose of rain, great seafood, and best of all, family time! The week after I got back to Little Rock, Mike had to take off for his first TDY (temporary duty) to Savannah, GA. He did a lot of night flying and even got to watch people jump out of the back of the plane! He had fun, but I'm glad he was only gone for a few days! 

While Mike was gone I started training courses with the Red Cross. I have already taken 4 classes and have one to go before I'm fully trained in disaster relief! I currently know how to start, run, close, and fully manage a shelter, as well as how to do damage assessment after a disaster. My last class is for the ERV (emergency response vehicle) in which I will have to learn how to drive the ambulance like vehicles (yikes!) and serve food out of them for what we call Mass Care. I will also be writing an account of the Red Cross in AR as the "local historian." Don't laugh, it's just a title. Basically I will interview people and go through pictures and basic info on when, where, and how the RC started in Arkansas. 

There are quite a few pictures. Enjoy the especially adorable ones of Jack and Olivia!

Beautiful!

This is one of my favorites!

Olivia was getting Jack, with and assist from Mommy.

Gorgeous wedding/anniversary present from Erika.
Yes she made both pillows and the quilt!

She didn't know what to do with it.

These are all our Easter decorations.

Notice the egg hanging from the ceiling fan.
I'm so mean, I was cracking up the whole time!

Another white egg above the curtains!

We have a cute pup!
