This is what happens when you mix a Little Guy

and a tall, no whip Mocha.  Thankfully, I drank most of it before putting down (and, yes, forgetting about it), but the LG noticed right away.  As soon as I was safely ensconced in the shower, he went to town.  Oh, yes, he does love a good mocha.  And, really, how could anyone be annoyed with that proud little guy?  Not to mention, nary a drop on the carpet.

In other news, we are almost exactly half-way through Pete's training class.  I know, I know, what's the big deal, it's only five weeks!  Not sure, except to say that I think we are pre-stressing the summer departure, if that makes any sense at all.  Instead of viewing it as a TDY*, we have jumped forward into PCS land.  Obviously not, he will be home soon, and has not gone anywhere more exotic than West Virginia (or so he says…).  However, the notion that he will leave soon, for 'good' (well, three-plus solid months at a time), is there and taunts us daily.

It could also be the thought of house-hunting and getting settled prior to his departure.  Not that I don't find joy in spending hours upon hours looking at Realtor.com and various Realtors' websites, but , well, I don't really anymore.  It's one thing when it is pure fantasy…"Ooh, a unique fixer-upper in Vienna for ONLY $500K!", but when reality strikes, it's a different story.  We aren't sure where exactly to go, nor what we should pick.  Rent or buy?  Townhouse or SFH?  Decisions, decisions.  On that note, I am just going to do one quick search…but first, how about one more cute pic (see below)?

Last, but not least, sorry about the quality of the photos.  You can only do so much about slow to warm up lights when you are in a hurry to snap that photo with the iPhone.  In case it is hard to see in the first photo, Nicholas has a nice set of mocha-colored stripes down the front of his shirt, and a mustache and beard to match.  I don't think the second picture needs any explanation…
