Last night we went camping for the first time since having children, just a little trial run up the canyon the next town over from us. We brought everything from our white noise maker to some classic tinfoil dinners to more marshmallows than humans should ever consume in the course of one evening. The boys loved it and both slept like dreams. Mike and I, on the other hand, woke up every few minutes paranoid that the boys would not sleep well or be cold or get eaten by giant ants. That, and we didn't have our humidifier (yes, we are like 100 year-old cranksters). Overall, we consider the experiment a success, although Jude's love of fire only deepened, which could be concerning...

| Jude loves hot chocolate with mini-marshmallows |

| Luckily, Jude comes by the love honestly |

| Jude and Tyler loved playing with the little potato bugs |

In other news, Mike has a job. The Airforce JAG Corps accepted him as a candidate, which means we will be heading to who-knows-where (where there is an airbase) come sometime next winter.

Cute boys! and congrats on the job!
WOW awesome! You are the coolest mom ever. I have been wanting to camp. Then we realized that our family has outgrown our tent... hmm... Where the heck did you put the baby? I'm afraid he'll get sandwiched against the side and die or something...
This is awesome because WE just did this! Funny. You guys are so cute. Also. You'll have to let me know where you land.
Next time bring some Tylenol PM. Works like a charm. We went camping last month and loved it despite the fact that Ewan and I didn't sleep. Congrats to Mike! We are so excited for you guys!

Luckily, mike's brother has a massive tent that we all slept in. And we just stuck Gabe in a sleeping bag opposite Jude and that seemed to work well! I like the Tylenol pm idea. Is that for the kids or you? Just kidding. (no, really)....
LOVE that you went camping with all those babies! LOVE that you got the JAG position! You are starting a great adventure, and the world is your oyster! Enjoy this exciting-and incredibly stressful-time of your lives;o)
LOVE you kids!
