The Driskells: June 2015
http://thedriskells.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2015. After Texas we purposely hit some fun sights on our journey to the west coast. Our first stop was Carlsbad, NM. We went over 700 feet underground and saw some amazing caverns. Our next stop was Albuquerque, NM. We took the sky tram up 7,000 feet into the Sandia Mountains and hiked around. Our biggest stop was the Grand Canyon. We spent two days here hiking all over the rim. Amazing place! Grand is not a big enough word to describe this natural beauty. Tomorrow we fly out to Hawaii!

Wednesday, March 11, 2015. My "babies" are growing up! And while I love that we no longer have to deal with diapers, bottles, and nap time, I find myself looking back at pictures of my sweet little darlins' and missing some of that baby season! Not all, but some! I really do love this job and I love these cuties! R showing off her medal at Math Quest. 2nd place in a tri-county competition! Still sweet and cuddly, but quite a bit bigger!

Saturday, November 29, 2014. It is I 'R', 11 year old reporter! As you know Thanksgiving was yesterday (or was when I wrote this) and I do not like when people put up Christmas decorations before. Thanksgiving. But,. I have no objection to putting them up on. Thanksgiving. So yesterday we put up our Christmas tree up. I love decorating the Christmas tree! This is Mom's Waterford crystal nativity scene. She is very, very. Protective of it and would not let anybody else touch. (And rightly so! Some of the ...

The Driskells: September 2014
http://thedriskells.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 7, 2014. A few random things our kids have said:. During our visit in Texas, our 4 kids were playing with their 3 year old cousin 'M'. They were pretending to be butterflies. They would wrap themselves up in blankets (for their cocoons), break free, and flap around the room as butterflies. At one point cousin 'M' came out of her cocoon and 'B' picked her up to help her fly. 'B' was making cool noises, "Shhhhhhhhhh" like a rocket, while 'M' flapped her wings. How do you argue with that?

The Driskells: February 2015
http://thedriskells.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. During a game of Catch Phrase, my partner, the 6 year old, gave me this clue:. You know . . . . It's . . . . . . vegetables . . . . . in a bag". I guessed everything imaginable related to vegetables (frozen peas, frozen corn, bag salad, steam-able vegetables, etc), with no luck. What was the correct answer? We all laughed so hard over that one. I literally fell on the floor laughing! Wednesday, February 25, 2015. I'm really behind on this post! Better late than never? It wasn...

The Driskells: July 2015
http://thedriskells.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 2, 2015. Beginning of Hawaii life. So we arrived in Hawaii on June 24th, almost a month ago. We were greeted in true Hawaiian style by several Chaplain families with lots of leis! What a sweet surprise and blessing! They took good care of us and got us settled in our temporary lodging with some dinner and food. So thankful for the kind welcome we received. We spent one week in the "Villas" (which is just a nice way of saying old condos) before we were offered a permanent house on base.

Last time to put our feet in the Atlantic Ocean.). This first part of the trip is mostly about seeing family.
