Visitors of all kinds

Well this past week our family had a few visitors. Two of which were very welcomed and we were happy to have but some that we could have done without! Let me explain...on Thursday the GGs (my grandparents) came all the way from NJ to see us and spend some time in Texas. We had so much fun showing them our favorite spots like the aquarium and museum. We also enjoyed some time at home baking ALOT of cookies! The unwelcomed visitor was some sort of "bug" that caused diarrhea and vomitting for almost everyone in the house! Sorry if that's too much info for some! I am happy to say that we are all on the road to recovery and life is starting to go back to normal especially now that Loganne is sleeping ok again. We are now gearing up for Thanksgiving! Team McKenna will be opening their house up to the wardroom so we are looking forward to a house full of friends!

Random Fun Pictures

This was my first attempt at frying a turkey. I have to say it was the best turkey I've ever had.

Kaleigh riding her Harley with a helmet and Poison bandana like her Daddy.

The local Science and History Museum has some fun exibits.

Then there's Loganne enjoying her favorite new toy. Oddly enough she fights with all she's got when Mommy puts her in there but goes right in and play with Daddy.....

That's it for now. -Team McKenna Team Leader

Finally Back

So we're finally back into the world of the blog. We bought our new camera...just a slight upgrade to the old one we had. We are enjoying Texas. I have no complaints at all. I am really enjoying my job, it's tough but I have a great group of guys working with me. Jen has been really busy, she does an activity with the girls almost every day. We've already been to the museum and the aquarium; plus Kaleigh is in ballet and gymnastics. Overall we're settling in nicely. I told Jen tonight that Texas is on my short list of places that I'd like to settle down when our time in the Navy is up. An the most fun news (in my opinion) Loganns has her first tooth. She is already putting it to use, eating everything we'll let her. Here are some pictures of the girls with our new camera........

Boring Blog

So sorry for the boring blog, lack of updates and especially lack of photos. Currently the McKenna team is looking for a new camera since the current one will not even turn on. As far as new news we are settling into Texas very well and we are really enjoying those that the Lord has put in our lives. We have had a few neighbors over and seeing Kaleigh with friends again is so wonderful! Other then trips to the aquarium, gymnastics and the library the girls and I continue to enjoy staying at home enjoying big rooms and the veiw of the 18th fairway! Hope all is well!

The stars at night are big and bright...

Well the girls and I have arrived in Texas and so far so great! I absolutely love my house, all 2200 sq feet of it! LOL!!! Kaleigh already has made friends next door, down the street and at gymnastics. Thanks to mom coming with us my house was set up and decorated in just 3 days so we were able to start life upon arrival. We have also found a church (I think it will be our church) and it is about 2 minutes from our house and meets in our local movie theater. The girls loved nursery and the preaching was very good. Kaleigh settled right into Texas however Loganne has decided that sleep is not necessary in our new house. Hopefully sleep will come for us all pretty soon. Matthew is loving being back on sea duty and is bringing so much energy and joy into our home even though he is working extremely hard and waking up at 0430. He's the man and has made our Texas move alot of fun! This past weekend we checked out the Texas State Aquarium and loved it so much we became members. Of course our camera would not work so we don't have pics from our first visit but we'll take them next time. The girls and I are enjoying lots of playtime in their nice big rooms and looking forward to hosting lots of playgroups! And let's not forget our visit to Cavender's Boot City! Oh yes guys (or should I say y'all) I have fancy Cowboy boots and I definitely have rocked them as much as I can! That's the update for now! I'll post soon with some new pictures!

Craziness

Sorry for the lack of updates but we are now officially moved out of RI. So the girls and I are chillin' in NY with the families while Matthew attends school in VA. The movers we had were awesome and I'm very excited for the easy unpacking I will have to do in Texas. Not too much else to report. I hope I will be able to figure out a way to download our pictures on my parent's computer soon!

Aunt Katie's Visit

So this past holiday weekend we were once again visited by one of the girls' favorites, Aunt Katie. We were all coming off busy weeks and are headed for even crazier weeks ahead so most of our time together was much needed down time. Did some shopping and some eating out and Katie and I got the chance to take a wonderful sailboat ride on the Narragansett Bay, something I wanted to do before leaving here. The day was perfect for the ride and we learned so much about the area of Newport! All in all a great time had by all. Always great to see Aunt Katie!
