Disclaimer: I haven't figured out how to arrange photos well in Blogspot, so this is a really poorly laid out post. But, you'll get the point of some of our memories in pictures.
First, we had to get the house ready. This involved Painters Without Pay (aka Pam's mom and sister Beth) working hard to rid the place of seriously poor color choices by the previous owners. Then, Pam's grandma made curtains, her grandpa made radiator covers, and, eventually, Pam herself sewed some pretty spectacular roman shades. When Pam's grandpa passed away and she and Greg chose to take his National Geographic collection, book cases were installed to house them.
We got Bagwelle!
We had lots of fun parties - here are just a few!

We had lots of visitors - too many to post photos of - but highlighting those who came from overseas to stay with us

| Greg's colleague from Jordan |
And the last year was dominated by William's arrival. (Beth moved in with us, too, but Wm was just so cute, all the photos are of him!!)

And really, we started to say good bye in 2008, when we found out we were joining the Foreign Service. Wm started the trend, but now we have three FSO Babies, and, well, sadly fitting in Tunlaw would just be a little tight.
