Dan and I attended the Marine Corps Ball. Matt's preschool teacher watched the kids for us! She is awesome. Dan left for a detachment to Hill AFB in Salt Lake. He did his last flight in the Harrier (for now, we hope). Grammy and Grampa came to visit us in Yuma. We stayed busy with puzzles, birthday shopping and celebrating. Grampa camped in the backyard with the boys. They loved it. Abbie, Clair, and Grampa all celebrated birthdays. Dan arrived home from his det just in time to wish them all a Happy Birthday! My friend, Leslie, from high school and her family came over from San Diego. The kids had a great time playing. Amelia Grace and Allison are such sweet girls. Ben and Matt finish up with their school in AZ. It is hard to say goodbye to our good friends. Ben wasn't so sure about starting at a new school. The movers pack up our house. It was a long couple days. The truck was delayed a day. We had a nice day in the middle to hang out with our boxes. That left Friday morning for checking out, cleaning, and loading our cars. We left after Ben's Thanksgiving celebration at school. We drove to GA for real Thanksgiving. It was a long drive as expected. The kids were great. We stopped for some gocarting one night. We ate lunch with Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Dean along the way. Wish we could have stayed to visit longer. We spent a couple days in Covington. We ate a yummy Thanksgiving dinner. Dan and I left the kids to go house hunting in Pensacola. It was pretty weird to do something without a kid along. I can barely get a bathroom break somedays. Our wonderful realtor, Kathy, showed us tons of houses on the first day. None of them had everything we were looking for. We found a house on the second day thankfully. The owner had just listed it! Lucky him!
A few pictures...

Lucie sat in Ben's seat for a while. Ben rode with Dan for a bit.
On the road again... They were awesome travelers. That was a long drive with two drivers, two cars, two dogs, two boys, and two one year olds!
