Lovin' Our Little Girl

Georgia is at such a fun age. She is exploring everything and is quite social and interactive. We've both enjoyed getting to play with her and watch her discover things.
Her newest thing is to take out all of the toys one by one from the basket and then go through and chew on all of the parts to the 'Mrs. Potato Head'.

She's enjoying all of the new foods. Here she's just eaten prunes.

She's also discovered her feet and likes to put them in her mouth, especially when I'm changing her diaper.

USAFA here we come!

As many of you know, we began praying this past spring that God would take us to the Air Force Academy (USAFA) for our next assignment. Some of our best friends, Sarah and Brandon Bernardoni and Corban and Katrina Bryant have gotten orders there. We wanted to be able to continue to minister and share life with them. It has also been a desire of Joe's for some time to be able to go back to USAFA to teach.
Teaching at USAFA is considered a special assignment because it is outside of whatever career field one is in. This summer when Joe began the process of applying, he had been told people weren't being released from Intel to go do non-intel assignments and that the chance of him being released to even apply were slim to none. He told his coordinator, 'well, I won't get accepted if I don't apply and I serve a big God.' This summer he found out he was released to apply to USAFA. God 1, AF 0. Then as he applied we found out in January the political science department requested him by name to come and teach. God 2, AF 0. Yesterday we found out Joe has officially been given the assignment to teach! God 3, AF 0. God is good!
We are SO excited for this next adventure!
