Completely Random

Since I have been so slack with the blog, I feel that I have so many pictures to post from over the last few months. I am going to try to narrow it down to just a few to get caught back up. There is no particular order to the pictures. These are from our last days in Italy, Dad's new house, Christmas with both our families and then some other random ones. Enjoy!




This is a picture of Josh with Emily and then one of all of our close friends from Italy.


RT receiving his "going away" award.




His "gift" from the younger guys in his squad. Payback for all the times he yelled at them. They were giving him a pretty good beating. Pretty amusing to watch actually.... he held his own considering there were 4 or 5 of them!




Our last dinner out in Vicenza. This is RT with his two best friends from Italy, Josh and Torrez.


Emily and her cousin Briane playing in all the leaves at Dad's new house.


Waiting to see Santa


Emily and PawPaw opening a gift; Me and Brittany






These are all from Christmas morning. Emily got so many things from Santa including a big rocking horse, a new red wagon and a doll house. Not to mention numerous other toys. It was so much fun to watch her enjoy everything since RT was not able to be with us last year. We were so thankful he was home this year!


Opening a gift with Aunt Rana




Lucas; Austin; several of the kids opening gifts at Aunt Ruby's house.

At the park on Christmas day.

At Monkey Joe's this past weekend. She loved this place!

I think that brings us up to date. I will be much better about blogging now that we are in one place and are starting to get settled in.

Update

Hey everyone. I am sorry that I have been terrible about updating the blog lately. I wanted to do a quick little update and let you know what is going on with us now. We have been very busy lately. We left Italy five days after Thanksgiving and have been on the go ever since. That is why I have not been able to really sit down and write. The plane ride was ridiculously long and exhausting. We had a layover in New York where we ran into all kinds of road bumps and missed the flight to Atlanta. We had 9 pieces of luggage, Emily, the stroller (which Delta broke into two pieces), the car seat and our 65 pound dog in his large cage! It was chaos to say the least. However, we caught a flight that evening and finally made it home. It took all of us about a week to really get adjusted to the time change. We hit all our favorite food places that we had missed so much while in Europe. We had to try to get things together for Christmas as quickly as possible because we had not been able to buy any gifts prior to coming home. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at my Dad's new house and we really enjoyed being home with the family this year. We finally found a house to rent a few miles from the back gate of Fort Benning. The military delivered all of our household goods in three shipments this past week. We have spent quite some time unpacking and trying to organize. I think we are getting there. RT signed in and started his in-processing this past week. He seems to be really happy with the unit that he has been assigned to and we are very thankful for that. Emily is doing really well and is so happy that she has her own room again. She is growing so fast and is so smart that it is scary! I am still looking for a job and keeping hope that something comes along soon. So, that is the Harris Family in a nutshell for the last few months. I will post some recent pictures from Christmas soon so everyone can see how big Emily is getting. We hope everyone is doing well. We are certainly happy to be home in the states again!
