What next?

Discussion, prayer, and much thought have brought Rob and I to the decision of staying in the Army. He recently resigned and we will be staying at Fort Riley. For our family in Oregon and Washington this is sad news, but for our adopted family and friends in Kansas this is exciting news. I am at peace with the decision that has been made. On August 31 the kids and I will start the trip back to Kansas. This will be an adventure in itself. HAHAHA!!! LOL!!! Hopefully we can make it a fast trip. Until then we are staying with some friends. We have 4 kids and 2 adults in a 2 bedroom house. Lots of fun. We spend a lot of time sitting back and laughing at all the chaos. Well for now that is all I know. Please keep us in your prayers. God Bless everyone.

What's been happening

Well obviously it has been a while since I have posted on the blog. No worries I did not fall off of the face of the earth. I have been keeping myself crazy busy so that I don't have time to dwell on how much longer until Rob will be home. The Lil Buckaroos and I have been spending lots of time with one of my friends. We have been going to the park, to the swimming pool, and wherever else the moving vehicle takes us. Most of the time we randomly decide to go do something, but that is half the fun. The joys of running your own life, you can do random things. We have also been to a family reunion, which of course was lots of fun. Despite all this craziness I am beyond ready to have Rob back home.

Look how tall Duke is getting

The goal was for Duke to climb through the tunnel, it didn't work

My mom has turned me into a fashion violation (LOL)

Duke has so much fun ripping up paper, cardboard, and anything he is not supposed to

WHO ME
Yummy this dirt taste good

Lesson learned in life, don't rub your eyes when there are rocks and dirt in your hands

Kasiddee is sleeping, but her face says otherwise
Aaron eating as usual, his appetite easily meets his dad's

The Hula Hoop star

I don't think they have marshmallow guns in the Army
Before we wish you all farewell for now we must tell a little more. Duke is continuing to make tremendous progress. He is not talking, but is vocalizing in different ways and discovering the many different sounds that he can make. Kasiddee started walking on Thursday, July 19, 2007. HURRAY!!!! She is saying a few words and is never quiet unless she is sleeping. Aaron got to spend 2 weeks with us. It was a lot of fun to see him and spend time with him. He had a lot of fun playing with his brother and sister as well as playing in the dirt. As for me, the Cowgirl, I am surviving with my lifeline as chocolate and pop or frozen coffee drinks. No worries there is some healthy food in my diet. God Bless.
