Margaret finally said a word we recognize - I think. She seems to be saying "block," though often-times it comes out as "glock" or "duck." Who knows. I'm sure she'll be tickled when her parents finally catch a clue.

We found a vehicle! We're buying a 1992 Mazda MVP. It's in great shape for its age and has been well-maintained. Originally, the owner wanted to keep it for a week or two but after he saw we had 2 small children, he insisted we take it ASAP. We'll have the keys either tomorrow or Tuesday. Now we have to get a move on and get our official USFK driver's license! It's a huge relief to have wheels, getting groceries and other errands done on post have been downright painful.

Sean & Mary headed back to the post to go swimming. Margaret is down for a late afternoon nap, so I'm enjoying a quiet apartment. A rare moment, indeed!

Almost forgot, I finally uploaded photos I took during our visit stateside. You can view the ofoto album here.
