Tiny Update ;)

Well, things are going well over here. The first actual day here, I lost my ID. Oops! I felt awful when I realized the next day that it was gone. I looked EVERYWHERE. I'm pretty sure it fell out of my pocket :(  Boy did I feel bad when I had to tell Greg. I don't want to make him look bad! So Monday morning I will go to the office and get a new one. I need it by Monday because our car is getting here that day!! Ahh can't wait to get our car back!! I can't wait to explore the town!
Greg's schedule has been pretty weird. Friday he worked 8am-3pm, had today (Saturday) off but has to go back tomorrow for a possible 24 hour shift. Apparently he has to do that every 3 days, we will know more about that tomorrow I hope!

Yesterday I spent a lot of the morning looking for my ID (fail). Noah and I then took a long walk around the base where we found another park by the baseball fields. I can't say it enough, being on base is awesome. Noah can run around anywhere he wants and I don't really have to stop him. There are 2 parks on base, at least 3 parks just outside the gates around on-base housing, and open fields galore!

 Park #2 :)
We checked out the Daycare Center yesterday just to see how it all works. Right now they are pretty full and only allowing full time kids (5 days a week). Prices depend on your rank/pay; we would likely be the cheapest because Greg is a seaman (meaning low on the totum pole) and I am not working. Drop ins are $4.00 an hour or $30 per day but you have to call in the morning to see if their are any openings. I am considering putting Noah into daycare maybe once a week. That way I can get a few things done (and a little break), and he can be around more kids. I always worry he hasn't been around other kids enough. He doesn't do too well being away from "mom" (unless he is with family or close friends) so I kind of want him to get use to it before he goes to preschool! Although it pretty much is a preschool.
Last night we were told that Fridays are "Family Night" at the Harbor View. Turned out that Thursday night had more kids than Friday but we had a good time. Our fam and Greg's buddy he graduated with went to the Harbor View for dinner. Since it's on base, the food is SUPER cheap. Sandwiches are like $3.50! Noah loves it there, too! There is a game room so he just runs all over the place. It's pretty exhausting running after him but he likes it and is able to play with other kids.  (Sorry, no photos)

Today was a rainy day in Cape May! This morning, it was barely drizzling so we decided to go for a walk. By the time we were about 2 blocks outside the gates, it started pouring. We turned around and ran home. We were DRENCHED by the time we got home. Noah's stroller had a puddle in the front of it!! It was a good laugh :) Later in the day we were able to make up for it. We went for a long long walk! There are some pretty amazing homes here! When we got back, Noah was able to play in the "backyard" for a bit. About 5 minutes after we came in, it started to pour again, at least we had SOME good timing! ;)

Alright onto the PHOTOS!
"Backyard Park" :)
 Beautiful Sunset
 The bigger boat is the "Dependable", which is what Greg is working on until the Vigorous gets back
 Why play in the park when I have this cool hole to play in?? With rocks!!!!
 Below our T.V. is this empty shelf; Noah loves to crawl inside and attempt to get out :)

 A Bed and Breakfast we walked by today, one of many!
 Park #3 we found. Noah loved bouncing on this thing..
Jumping in puddles! (well, stomping)

Until next time, cheers! :)

  1. The B&B you pictured is "Angel of the Sea", where we stayed pre-graduation. Very nice, and owned by a Coast Guard family! The white one behind it is the Peter Shields Inn; reportedly the most haunted place in Cape May.
