Who and Why

We're mostly just doing this for ourselves to be able to look back on and out of town family to wants the 411, but anyone is welcome to tag along. I have a few friends who have created a blog for out of town family to read and having a little blog envy has encouraged me to start this one back up. It was used previously as Mark's deployment blog which we have had fun looking back at, but since a few things have happened since then we have much more to talk about. 

Mark got back from his deployment June of 2010, got all settled into our cozy little house and got to know Trooper, our chocolate lab for a while. We're clearly people persons (I can't say people, people, right?) so decided to expand the Pound clan and what was once two Pounds, is now three. Gavin Elliot joined us on Oct 1st, 2011. It was the best decision we've ever made. He's amazing. It's taken Trooper a while to warm up to him and now he can at least tolerate Gavin, which is a plus. He keeps us on our toes and teaches us something new everyday. There have been minimal frustrating days and mostly good days (i'm not just saying that, he's been a great baby- we're doomed come baby #2).

Bye bye feet!
