"Company Picnic"

The surgery division on the 81st Medical Group had a company picnic at the Marina Park on base.  We took the girls and fun was had by all. Enjoy the photos!

Fun with new friends...

Since being stationed at Keesler, we have been blessed to have met the Gifford family. Tom is Peter's partner at work, Stephanie is a stay-at-home mom, this is their first Air Force assignment, they are also Catholic and they have kids that are the same age as ours! So, needless to say we have instant friends and we are so thankful for them. It has made our transition to a new life so much easier.

Here are some photos of a very very short beach trip with the Gifford family (a huge storm blew in after about 5 mins. on the beach). Enjoy!

LMDC with the Morrisons...

While the Morrison Family was visiting from Texas over Labor Day weekend, we went to The Lynn Meadows Discovery Center. We discovered this wonderful children's museum while we were in Biloxi house hunting. It is such a fun place to take the kids and it allows them to use their imaginations. Here are some photos of our trip with the Morrisons. Enjoy!

Birthdays with new friends and old...

Wow! I have a daughter who is four and a daughter who is two! Where oh, where does the time go?

This fall we decided to let the girls share a birthday party because we knew that we would be new to the area and because of that we would be keeping it small. Thankfully, we have made some wonderful new friends in Biloxi that were able to come and had some "old" friends drive all the way from TX to make the girls party lots of fun.


At Ava's request, we had a "kitty" themed party. Luckily, Mia was on board with the idea. So, it was a purrr~fect party for all! Here are some photos from the party. Hope that you guys enjoy them!
