Brad and I adopted him back in November to keep me company while he's away. He's such a little stinker! Brad and I absolutely adore him! He's so much fun to play with and VERY entertaining! He loves to nap in my lap, play with his stuffed mice, and steal all of my hair ties (I can never find any of them as he usually bats them underneath the oven or washing machine). Salem's almost 4 months old.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2268046607998045688-825357313807361014?l=kowaleski.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Erin & Bradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00574283941750248500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268046607998045688.post-53561975588862002792007-11-14T16:37:00.000-06:002007-11-14T17:10:03.951-06:00So, it's been a while...Sorry that it has been so long since I posted; I suppose you can chalk it up to laziness and just generally forgetting to put stuff up! But, since I've got time on my hands, I'll post a bunch of pictures of what Brad and I've been up to the last 6 months! The pictures are from Cochran Family Vacation 2007, Maryland where Brad was at Officer Basic Course at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Aberdeen, MD, our trip to Philadelphia to see Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, and our trip to Washington, D.C!<br /><br />Brad and I just got our new apartment in Colorado Springs, so I'll be posting pictures of our first home soon!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3oUeaHp7tKg/Rzt7C2twYxI/AAAAAAAAAB0/43N2wNOyZtM/s1600-h/arches.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3oUeaHp7tKg/Rzt7C2twYxI/AAAAAAAAAB0/43N2wNOyZtM/s400/arches.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132831489296196370" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">At Arches National Park with my family<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3oUeaHp7tKg/Rzt7Z2twYyI/AAAAAAAAAB8/DRAiW3HhM0M/s1600-h/famdelicatearch.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3oUeaHp7tKg/Rzt7Z2twYyI/AAAAAAAAAB8/DRAiW3HhM0M/s400/famdelicatearch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132831884433187618" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">At Delicate Arch<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3oUeaHp7tKg/Rzt9SmtwYzI/AAAAAAAAACE/5dInw6EHP6c/s1600-h/metetons.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3oUeaHp7tKg/Rzt9SmtwYzI/AAAAAAAAACE/5dInw6EHP6c/s400/metetons.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132833958902391602" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Me at Grand Tetons National Park (it was gorgeous!)<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3oUeaHp7tKg/Rzt9r2twY0I/AAAAAAAAACM/mdC7yVwKcXU/s1600-h/chesapeak.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3oUeaHp7tKg/Rzt9r2twY0I/AAAAAAAAACM/mdC7yVwKcXU/s400/chesapeak.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132834392694088514" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">View of the Chesapeake Bay in Havre de Grace, MD (about 5 miles north of Aberdeen)</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3oUeaHp7tKg/Rzt972twY1I/AAAAAAAAACU/PmlcT2Fhm4c/s1600-h/tree.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3oUeaHp7tKg/Rzt972twY1I/AAAAAAAAACU/PmlcT2Fhm4c/s400/tree.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132834667571995474" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">It was so wonderful being on the East Coast during the fall!
