Great News - Jake's Home

Hey Everyone,

I'm sorry I haven't posted for a while. Jake is home for good now. We've really enjoyed the 10 days he had off. We've had many lazy afternoons in the backyard hammocks watching the kids play. It's been nice to just enjoy being a family in our new home.

On Monday Jake will start in-processing here at Ft. Bragg. That means back to work, and back to a normal routine. James loves being in pre-school and wants to go every day which also keeps our routine regular. However; it won't stay that way for long as we are going on a family vacation to Utah.

We'll be there for 19 days visiting family and attending Jake's 10 year high school reunion. Boy does time fly fast. I look back over the past few years, and realize how much has truly changed, but also how much I feel the same as I did graduating high school. Well, maybe not as insecure and innocient.

Anyway, I'm just happy Jake is with us permanently again.

Have a Great Day,
Elizabeth

Just an Update

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to post a general update. Jake is home for the long weekend, and we love having him here. His unit is on National Homeland Security alert (the 1st unit on the list is at the Washington wild fires). Until the unit goes off alert they can't proceed with the move, which means we're left waiting to find out when Jake will be home here for good.

Otherwise we are doing well. The kids have the usuall fall colds, but they're not slowing us down much. I've been busy with back to school shopping for James. Also, Evey has grown out of most of her clothes so I've been shopping for her too. Poor Mikey rarely gets anything new because he has so many hand me downs from James. I got him some new jammies just so he wouldn't feel left out.

James enjoyed his first day of preschool, however; we've decided to switch him to a school closer to the house that better meets our needs. He'll have his first day with "Kids Under Construction" on Wednesday. Anyway, all is well and we feel very blessed.
