busy week!

last week/weekend we celebrated pat's 10 year USAFA class reunion. we had a house full of guests and loved every minute of it. on wednesday, laurel and i went up to base to watch daddy play tennis with nolan cooper. then we got to go out to eat with a big group of friends.

he's still got it! check out the photo on the right. laurel loves coop!

no pictures from thursday. pat played golf, laurel and i went to music class and caught up with our colorado friends. friday was a big day for everybody --

laurel's first day at "school" (mothers' morning out.) she was so excited, and when i dropped her off she was the only kid NOT crying. good girl!

i didn't really know what to do with myself. so i went up to base to watch pat teach. he was a little surprised. what a good teacher! and look how handsome!!

my first time to see noon meal formation at the academy. pretty impressive...

then it was time to pick up little bit.

i wish i had captured the earful i got on the way to the car. she LOVED it!!!!

can you tell?

we met up with a ton of pat's friends that afternoon.

here are a few -- coop (with baby elle), sheets, brooke, t stilly, steve cruz

that night we had a date for the class of 2000 dinner/social. jess and evan jones and their two kids, iris and rhett, were staying with us. they brought along evan's mom, kathy - an awesome babysitter. we were so appreciative!!

our table at the dinner. so much fun -- the joneses, the otts, the walengas, and the mcniff :)
