Things are still going smoothly. We have loads of fun with Violet. I stay busy, but I am doing things slower these days as pregnancy discomforts have started increasing with my blatant waist expansion. Daniel is so helpful and Violet is easy to please with reading time and a few hundred of her favorite books. :)
Graduation is next week. We are hosting a little get-together this weekend to celebrate. What an amazing 2 years these have been! God has blessed us richly with this family time and Daniel in his studies.
Tomorrow I will attend an awards ceremony where my husband will be recognized not once but twice for his exemplary work here at NPS. I am quite proud of him. Now as things are winding down with his last class tomorrow the reality of our move is becoming more evident. The Marine Corps will take us to new places and the time here will be a sweet memory. We are attempting to savor it as much as we can.
Family time is approaching. Daniel's parents arrive next week for a brief but sweet visit and then we head to Tahoe to spend a week with my side of the family. We are very excited to see everyone. What a great time of year to come together when the weather is cooling and there are such worthy things to celebrate like Daniel's graduation.
We got Violet's birthday gift a little early because it was a sweet deal and a little too big to hide from her for a long time. It is getting a lot of play time.
She is learning to wash her hands thoroughly, put her "eks" (eggs) in the fridge and put her dishes away at night. We are slowly adding to the play food and accessories. For now she is learning to pretend and it is so much fun to watch.
Will try to post more soon about the family visits.
Much Love!

We move after baby is born...no specific date as of yet. We just know it will be November sometime.
Still working through some favorite names.
We are so proud of Daniel! woohoo!
Thanks for the update. It's fodder until we get to see you all in one-and-a-half weeks. XXOO
I can't believe how grown up Violet looks! Yay for Daniel!! Hoping these last few weeks in Monterey are fun ones for you all. Enjoy your time with family. We'll have to try and get together at some point when you're back on the East coast.
We are proud of Daniel, also. Maryn, you are such a blessing to him by making the home a comfort haven for study, rest and love. So, congratulations to you, too. You should be getting an award along with him. Violet looks so happy with her new kitchen to pretend with. Look forward to our visit and Daniel's graduation. God has been good in blessing you all while in Monterey. What a great answer to our prayers.
Good to hear how all are doing. Your precious little girl is a doll!
Thanks for updating us! Congrats to Daniel for a job well done, can't wait for y'all to get back to the east coast!
My goodness, that little girl has sprouted up! Love all the pictures and recaps Maryn. By the way a huge congrats to your husband! Those Marines are awesome!!
Love Violet's blue dress. I can't wait to see her.
