That's what we've been all about this summer. Trying to figure it all out. New House. New Camp. New Schools. New Babysitters. New Yard. New Playground. New Weather Patterns. New Everything. And most importantly...what brought us all here to all this "new"...Daddy's new job.
Since Taylor hasn't been doing the traditional Army thing since the last time we were stationed here 4 years ago, we've noticed the boys are very confused on what exactly Taylor does all week when they don't see him. He is gone before they get up and back after they're going to bed.
We did get to see Sesame Street Live on post one day, so George has decided that Daddy must "play games with Elmo" at work. Liam has can't figure out why Taylor wears the same thing all the time and still thinks that Taylor is going to school. These boys are confused and we can't have our good little Army boys not knowing what it's all about. So, today we thought we'd give them a clue.
We headed out to see exactly what a Battalion XO does.
Liam asked TONS and TONS of questions...like...do you have highlighters?!
While George decided that he just wanted to stick with Daddy...
Liam was overcome with excitement about all the desks and office supplies
While George was more concerned with taking charge and keeping Liam out
The boys got to eat lunch at the DFAC with Taylor. George managed to bring silence to the room with his commanding voice (probably the quietest it's been ever) and introduced himself to the Brigade Commander by showing him his "milk belly".
Overall, I'm not so much sure that they can now tell you what exactly an XO does, but I know that they LOVED being able to see Daddy in the middle of the day. George, particularly had a tough time letting go as we walked to the car (notice his death grip on Taylor):
He did not want to say goodbye at all, because Daddy makes him feel like this:

Awwww. How did I not know you have a blog? I can't believe Taylor is an XO. Where does the time go?
