We are the Stuarts (formerly of Imperial) now residing in Okinawa, Japan.

This blog started from a desire to bridge the miles as we were preparing to leave the USA for 3+ years. It has turned into much more. It's part travel diary, part personal reflection, part "sociology of military life" and part mommy-blog. We hope you read something here that is interesting to you (or at least not a total waste of your time).

Court of Honor 2010


Last night we had our first Court of Honor since we've been on Okinawa...


As I sat in the back, I couldn't help but admire my awesome boys...
(while someone else admired their nails)



This was Jake's first Court of Honor, so this was the first time all 3 of them were sitting with their troop together.



Troy (as Sr. Patrol Leader) presented the merit badges the boys had earned at camp.



Way to go, boys!



Jake earned his Tenderfoot (and is now only lacking the campouts for Second Class and First Class...so he'll get both of those in no time, too). Each rank is accompanied by a Mom Pin...



And (of course) the coveted kiss!



Patrick earned his "On My Honor" award. It's the LDS religious award which youth can earn through Boy Scouting (each faith group which is affiliates with BSA has their own). It's kind of a big deal.



Here's the whole lot of 'em. Aren't they a good looking group?



This is Jake's 11 yr. old Scout leader, Bro. Petrini. He rocks!



Oh, how I love these Stuart men!



Even if they can be total goofballs.



And here is our most current family photo. Enjoy!
