A long year ahead...
Sadly, it's that time again: saying goodbye to daddy for a year. I'm a little nervous about what the year has in store for us, but am confident in the Lord's grace and mercy. The separation will be harder on the girls than any of us and it's my intention to help them to understand how important daddy's job is. I'm going to "try" to put some stories/comments/photos on our blog a little more often; especially since I've been so bad about it recently!

Wow, it's been a while!
Gosh I'm getting lazy! I last posted at Christmas! The Ramos family is doing great and we're still lovin' our "new" house! We've added our last addition to the family recently, our Dachshund/Beagle mix, Patch. He's the perfect companion for Molly because he gets her off her butt and makes her play! He's wonderful with the kids and I think that's one of his greatest attributes (besides being a super cutie!)

Merry Christmas!
Seasons greetings everyone! Just like last year, we're attempting to save some paper (and some time) by eliminating Christmas cards and simply sending our well-wishes through cyberspace instead!
What are we up to? Well, this summer we moved from Fort Leavenworth, KS to Walkersville, MD and purchased our first home! We have settled in nicely and have finally finished with all of the painting and decorating. We love our new neighborhood and have made some really great friends.
Grace is in Kindergarten this year and she absolutely loves it. She is doing really well with reading and writing; we're very proud of her. Grace's favorite thing to do when she's home is play "teacher"...and what a bossy teacher she is!
Evie just turned 3 years old last month and boy is she a thinker! It's so amusing to hear the things that come out of her mouth! Recently she has decided she would rather wear diapers than use the potty, which has been very discouraging, but we're hoping she'll change her mind soon and become "a big girl".
Genna is now 15 months old and is walking and climbing all over the house. She has amazing little conversations of gibberish with herself and her sisters. She is doing really well with communicating by using signs, gestures and words.
Peter just got back from a 10 day trip to Korea and is still a little foggy from jet lag. He has been working at Fort Detrick with the 6th MLMC as the SPO S3 (lots of gibberish I know, but that's the Army for ya!) Over the next few months he'll be participating in training exercises in Korea and here in Maryland.
I have been working hard at making this house a home while caring for the girls and daddy too! If time allows I'd like to be a volunteer at our local animal shelter. I plan on making some doggie beds to donate and would like to be part of the foster program as well. I have also been working with local charities to support families in need this holiday season.
Well, that's it from us....here's hoping that this note finds everyone in good health and good spirits! We pray that you will all have a blessed holiday and very happy new year.

Trimming the tree
Genna really enjoyed eating the ornaments!
The tube that the ornaments came in proved to be more fun than the tree!
Finally got Evie interested in helping
Grace looking super cute!

The MAN room!!
I actually painted and arranged the man room while Peter was away and surprised him when he got back. Of course there had to be a place for his Army guys to fight their battles!
Here is my sunny sewing room. We added an area where the kids can play or draw and the room with the white wall is another part of the basement that we set up as a play area. You would think with so much for them to do we'd have lots of time to hobby down there, but that's not the case....it's always "I want to go upstairs mom"!
