Still Moving

This has been a very long week. I have been moving for a week now. I thought it would be a great idea to move "a little at a time" but man is it a drawn out process. I am finally down to the last 2 rooms. Not much left to do, but I am so ready to be done.

The new house is great. Felt like home from day one. There are items everywhere, but I know it will get put away and things hung up eventually. I have connected more items this week than I ever have before. Washer, Dryer, Fridge water line, computer.....Michael always takes care of these things. I will post pictures when it is coming together.

Marcus has opening day for baseball today. There is a carnival, lunch and then a game. There has actually already been one game and the team looks great. As soon as Michael is back, he will take over the head coaching position.

Speaking of Michael, he is due into Corpus this coming Tuesday the 31st at 1:00. I have been so busy that I haven't had time to really let it sink in that is finally coming home after 8 months. Madilyn tells me everyday how excited she is for her Daddy to come home. I am curious to see how she is going to act with him once he does get here. The others are excited as well, just a little more low key about their emotions.

Well the cup of coffee is gone, so that is my sign that I am to log off and keep on unpacking. Until next time.....

Keeping in Touch

From much inspiration from my good friend Cyndy, I am starting this blog. It will be a great way for our extended family to keep up with what is going on in our world and to document our lives. My intention is to update it once a week or so, but no promises.

Right now all the kids are asleep and I am up early and not having very much sleep. There is just a lot going on in our world right now. I have homecoming signs to make, the house to pack, the new backyard to prepare to lay sod and the usual....laundry, making meals, cleaning etc.....so instead of doing all that, I do this. Oh well....

Michael will be arriving in San Diego this Friday. I wish we could be out there to meet him, but it is just not feasible. Anyway, he will be pretty tired and he has lots of golf to play for the short time he will be there. I mailed his clubs to him yesterday. After serving in Iraq for 7 months, it was the least I could do. Now, I just hope they arrive safely.

The kids are on Spring Break this week and are very helpful. Mykayla helped me and a friend paint Mackenzie and Madilyn's room at the new house. They now have a very pink and purple room. But that is what they wanted, so of course it happened. Marcus is busy with play practice. He is involved with the One Act Play at his middle school. He is in fact the lead male role. At the end of the month, they will compete against other middle schools. They won first place last year. He enjoys it so much and quite frankly very good. Mackenzie is going with the flow and Madilyn, well, she is just into everything.

We are anticipating Michael's return to Corpus in about 13 days. I get very teary eyed when I think about it. Kind of overwhelming. I know the transition will be smooth but I am so looking forward to his company. We will take lots of pictures and update this blog with them so we can share.

Well I should get busy. I hope you enjoy this as much as I hope I enjoy keeping it updated. Until next time.
