Apple Pickin'

OK, Brian has schooled me on this blog thing now so I can post to it as well. Yesterday we went to Princeton NJ to pick apples at a farm and orchard. It was a gorgeous day and we were happy to have the opportunity to spend some time together. We have waaaay more apples than our little family needs but it was a ton of fun picking them. Afterward we went to downtown area of Princeton (the Aggieville of the Ivy League) and had some lunch. We all felt a little smarter afterward:-)

We are moving into our new house on October 10th. I'm so excited to get our own things back! The trailers are perfect for a temporary situation but I am glad that we will not be living in it until next summer.

Drew loves Kindergarten! He's in the afternoon class which takes some getting used to. It's hard for him to wake up, get dressed and then wait another 3 hours before the bus comes. He's also doing a weekly story time group at the library and soccer as well.

We found a great church! It's a bit of a drive but it felt like a perfect fit from the first day. Drew and I go to a community bible study on Wednesday mornings at a different church that is a bit closer. The format and size of this group is very much like the PWOC group I went to at Fort Riley. There are several other Pickatinny ladies there and one other person from our church that I know.

I will be busy with getting the house set up but I also plan on being involved with the school PTA and with the wives groups on post. This year I'll be taking a break from holding any major positions though. It's been 4 years in a row on one or more big volunteer positions. Maybe next year when Drew is in school all day.

Now that I know how to do this blog thing, you can expect more recent posts from the Spurlock Crew. Enjoy! Kristin

Drew had his first day of Kindergarten a couple weeks ago at Dennis B. O'Brien Elementary in Rockaway, NJ. All of the kids from Picatinny (like 4 in all) go to this school and he has already made friends in his class that live on post. Below are a few pics of his first day waiting for the bus...

I need to get Kristin up to speed on how to post to this website cause I can't keep up...Greg...or whoever"my peeps" are??

Sorry it has been so long since we last posted...I have been in Huntsville, AL for a school I have to attend and Kristin and Drew have been getting settled-in to the trailer I spoke of in my last post.

We were finally offered housing at Picatinny (pictures below) and will be moving-in in a week or so. Kristin and Drew will be moving-in by themselves without me but with the help of relatives and friends it should go fine. Overall it's an old house, but has lots of character and room for us.

I'm still in Huntsville.....Still.Going.To.School:( It feels like I have been in school for an eternity with grad school and all. Oh well, only 4 weeks left.

After we get moved, emails with phone and address will follow. Hope everyone is having a good fall and getting ramped-up for Halloween...boo
