Moving again....

So life is never dull in our family. I learned a few weeks ago we have to move again!
We moved just a year ago to this house because the owners of the previous house had to sell it fast, yet more victims of our economy I guess.
Ryan was training for the upcomin deployment. So I had to locate and pack and move my family . I got lucky and found another house in our neighborhood.
We were promised to be able to stay here for at least 3 years. But the homeowner I guess changed her mind. Te realty company could not tell me why but I have to move again!
Ryan is not going to be home until right at Christmas so we get to do this alone again.
We think we have a house, again praise God in our neighborhood again, just two doors down. Our sweet neighbor who is a widow got us in it. She is a very sweet lady.
So I have been packing as much as I can not to mention the baby has been sick with bronchiolitis for two weeks now and has required the use of a nebulizer at times but that is another blog entry itself....

Kuwait/Iraq 2010

Today I got a big package from Ryan. He had to send home most of his "personal" items because they are going to move into tents and can not have "personal items" and anything they send to the big storage unit will be next spring before he gets it.
Anyway one of the things he sent back was the camera I sent back with him in July after he came home for R&R. THere were some photos it and the camera is broken. He told me it broke on one of his "missions" I was disapointed because I really wanted him to photograph more over there. Oh well...so here are some of the photos that were on the camera:

I am pretty sure this is one of the vehicles he use to drive....now he drives a Cayman which he said weighs over 38,000 pounds!

 


ON missions they sleep in tents like these, and they are having problems with BEDBUGS yuck!

Creativity of a four year old

Felicity made this animal playground the other day out front by our walkway. I must say she is very creative.

I am so thankful I homeschool....

Busy September

Well as can been seen I have not posted in over a month...My apologizies. The past month has been very busy. Why? Because we have FOUR celebrations.
Sept 8, is our wedding Anniversary. We were married 20 years this year....however for the first time ever my husband and I were not together....why one word DEPLOYMENT! enough said...
Then Sept 8 was Dehvin's 17th birthday, Sept 29 was was Ansely's 14 birthday and finally Ethan was 8 on October 2...Do you see the trend?
