Right now she's happy 'cause she doesn't realize what is going to happen.

Waiting to be called back.

What a cutie!

things to do

there are tons of things to do here in san antonio. one thing we do a lot is go to seaworld. kristin loves to go see the "big fish."
this is a shot of jonathan in his cool, new glasses (thanks, noel!). ch. blancaflor passed them on to him when jonathan had prk surgery on his eyes.
kristin also loves to see the clydesdale horses at seaworld!

change of plans

we changed our minds on which house to buy! i'm sure that isn't a shocker to most people who know us well! the old house is a 2700 sq ft. plan, which is beautiful and extremely nice. however, we just didn't have peace about it. this plan is much smaller - 1584 sq ft. jonathan liked it the first time he saw it, but i was the one who was caught up in the bigger house. this smaller house is just much more practical and it is a better size for our small family of 3. plus, we were not looking forward to huge utility bills, maintenance, mtg payments, etc. so now we have a real peace about this smaller house. we can't wait to move in! it should be ready around the end of august. we will still have plenty of room for guests!
unfinished kitchen. if you go under the arch that you see to the left of the screen and then go right, that is where the master bed and bath are.
the kitchen looks out into the living room. the hall to the right is where the front door is, and you can barely see the archway on the right side there. that is where 2 of the bedrooms are.

ice cream and princesses

kristin is starting to enjoy the Disney Princesses. her favorite right now is ariel - the little mermaid.


she also loves ice cream!

lots of swimming

our new home is just as hot as our old one. so when we are not indoors in the a/c, we are at the pool! kristin loves to swim, and we are having fun with her.

new house

we are buying a house! i have to admit that there is some anxiety mixed in with our excitement! our house is being built in a nice neighborhood near the base. right now, jonathan's commute is about 33 miles one way, and with the price of gas these days.... moving closer to base was a no-brainer! it should be finished around mid-august. once it's done, we will have lots of room so if you are planning a trip to san antonio, please plan to visit us!

fun pics

kristin loves to wear daddy's hat!
she also loves her princess shoes and minnie mouse ears!

a pretty day in san antonio.
