Welcome to Fall.

So I had the grandest of plans to write on this blog at least once a week, but as you can see that has soooo not happened. This week brought Fall and some cooler weather. Summer was hot hot hot. Being outdoors was difficult but we tried to play at the park each morning before it got tooo hot. We made some great friends and had a lot of fun. The kids went back to school Aug 31st. They were all really excited to get back to school and meet their new teachers and catch up with their friends. James started in the 5th Grade which is the first year of Middle school. He moves classrooms for each subject and has a hoomroom teacher whom James thinks is great. He is doing well and is on track to make the honor roll again. Nathan is a whirlwind of energy. We are in the process of moving his class at school to the teacher that James had last year that way we will already know the teacher and how she works and she already knows us and how we work. Matthew is in a multi-age class which means he is in a class with 2nd and 3rd graders. He is such a pleasant child. He is always happy and never complains. He recently had is tonsils and adenoids taken out. The recovery took almost 2 weeks and I had to take him to the ER several times because he looked so bad. He was treated for dehydration but I was told it was all completely normal. I was stunned to hear that. It didn't seem normal to me. Abigail is a "princess". Well at least she thinks so. She is such a smart girl but lacks the confidence to put it into practice. She expects her brothers to do everything for her hence the "princess" complex she has.
I am in the process of trying to find emplyment but it's a long process. A lot of wait and see. I am also attending college to obtain my associate degree in Finance. Justin is doing great and actually got to spend summer here. We didn't do anything but it was just nice to have some time together as a family. He will leave again in February for a school that lasts 4 months but thats a while away so we should get a chunk of time together before he leaves.
So thats all I have to update right now but I will try and post more frequently.
Much Love to All.

Longest week ever, at least this week anyway.

OK. So it's been a while since I blogged. I told everyone this was a work in progress. This has possibly been the longest week of my life. I had to buy my boys new Bunk beds cause the old ones broke. This led to a complete re-arrangement of all kids rooms. For a week now I have had bedroom furniture in every room of my house except the bedrooms that they were supposed to be in. And I still never got those bunk beds built. Then there was the day that brought the rain. Oh and it rained. It was only one or two drops and we were going to wait it out, but I guess mother nature had other plans. The wind made the rain blow side ways, down ways, upways and i'm sure backwards. It was funny yet... nope just funny. I wish I had pictures. There was me Sarah and 11 kids soaking wet running accross base to get out of the rain. And thankyou Sarah for having clothes to fit all the kids so we could change. My kids are driving me crazy.It's like they know i'm at the end of a very short rope and they edges are beginning to fray. But Justin comes home tomorrow and there is still furniture everywhere but oh well. Lifes not perfect, and me and my house certainly are not either.

Introduction

So I finally relented and set up a blog. I'm not much of a writer but I'll give it a shot. My main goal with this page is to keep you up to date since we are so far from home. We are currently stationed in Naples Italy, on a three year assignment. We have been here for just over a year. So far it's been fun. We have gotten to do some of the touristy things, but with Justin gone a lot it hard to do stuff with the 4 Kids by myself. I'll try and write at least once a week and periodically add pictures so you can see just how much the kids are growing and changing. See you soon.
