the latest from the fitzpatricks...

So I slacked a little on the updates for the last six months. We moved to a nice home in WA and got the kids settled in their new school and we are in a pretty good routine now. Jim has been back and forth training here and there. We love the new unit we are assigned to, loving the area we picked to live and things are going well. We had a wonderful summer visiting family, going camping and getting a new puppy this August, a fawn female we named Lizzie. The whole family is wrapped around her little paw! This winter and spring I will be showing her and Gator as often as I can. Gator turned three years old a couple of days ago. James is in the 4th grade now and doing really well. He had an art project selected to be in the Art Festival for the school district this last Saturday. Ryan is in kindergarten and having a great time. He has lots of friends and is really enjoying learning new things every day. I volunteer in James's class on Wednesday afternoons and Ryan's class on Thursday afternoons. Couple that with dog classes on Mondays and Wednesdays and we have a pretty full schedule here in the Fitzpatrick house. I will do my best to keep this more up to date from here on out. Here are a bunch of pictures since we missed so many months and lots of exciting things we want to share.
