We dressed David up as a puppy on halloween and at least for that day, Billy got his wish...a puppy of his own. We didn't go trick-or-treating since he's still too young to understand that part, but instead went to a barbecue at one of Billy's fellow marines's house. There, David became the greatest drummer in the world, no lessons! They had the game, Rock Band, set up and he got mad at me if I tried to help him out with the drumming. I guess he's starting to show his independent streak...sigh.
In other news, we decided to have Billy reenlist. There are numerous reasons why we made this decision and who knows if it's the right choice, but many signs pointed toward that decision. It's scary and hard for me to think that he'll be deployed again, but I'm sure we'll be able to get through it. It's just another 8 years, right?
