Here they are! Echo-181! My pride & joy is in there somewhere. He could be the very first guy in line, I couldn't tell, they all look alike! LOL

We haven't received any letters yet but the first blog was posted. Thank you to the TraCen for this great way to be able to follow our kids. We know they don't have the time to write so it's nice to get this little glimpse into their world.

Cape May is cold & covered with snow but here in Texas it is almost balmy with upper 70's during the day. I'm pretty sure the recruits would love a 70 degree day at this point.

More to come, I'm sure!

Colin is at Cape May right now training to become a Coastie. I am so proud of him. I didn't think it would be so hard to let him go... but watching him get one that bus was a tough moment. He hasn't called or written yet but I'm sure he will when he is able.

Scott & I have realized our house is quite large now that it is just the 2 of us. But we love our house and the extra space is really nice. We still have the traveling zoo to share all the space with. Frankie & Fletcher are getting bigger. Gus was misrepresented to us as a dog, he is a pony. At 8 months old he is already just shy of 80lbs and all muscle at that. Luckily as big as he is, he is a lab... all brawn, no brains and tons of love!

Well I need to go out and take some more pictures around Texas. I'll post them as I take them.
