Pictures off the phone.....

A little behind.....

So it has been a whole year since my last post, can you believe it??? Many of changes of happened my kids have grown by leaps and bounds, as you can tell from the picture below. Greg accepted a job moving overseas, and as I type this our house is currently being packed for storage. After much debate I convinced my husband to rent our house out (hopefully we have good tenant and will not destroy our house) and there a several things I want to do to when we get back so unless she totally trashes it everything should be fine. Hopefully we will get wood tile throughout (haven't convinced the hubs on this, he likes carpet in the living room, me I like easy to clean), paint the kitchen cabinets and put in granite countertops. Maybe if I am really lucky he will let change out the bathroom cabinets as well. But that is all when we return. Right now we are preparing for South Korea again! We had a air shipment of 4x4x5 basically and sea shipment of 1500 pounds. Greg and I were worried we were going to run out of room but truthfully we didn't or at least we don't think we did as they haven't finished packing yet, so fingers crossed. Mackenzie is pumped about going to "big" school, as she will be at the international and I think she is ready for it. She has been at home with me for the past three months and is more then ready to go back. Braxton will be at Rainbow Playschool which is pretty much a mother's day out type of program as it is only from 9-12 but at least it is a daily program, however, he can't start until he turns 2, which means we still have two months of being with me, so we will see how that goes. I am pretty sure after the past three months, being a stay at home mom is not for me, so I will definitely be job searching as soon as I get back! It was fine being at home with both of them but after going back to work and then staying at home again, I have decided I really enjoy working and need it! I loved the people I worked with a Prosperity but would really like to find something that pays a little better and is a little more flexible since Greg will be doing rotation when we get back. That means I have to be able to get off when the kids are sick, have doctor appointments, and to run them to practices and lessons, so we will see!

Right now the kids are going to Aunt Susi's and staying with Aunt La and Uncle Chris. I know they are having a blast and so thankful they are watching them because if they were here they would be into everything and my son would be all over the boxes! Plus I am sure they love being back at school even if it is only for a week! Next week we will be a busy week as well Monday we all have our final shots downtown, the kids have had to get a total 5 each and Greg and I had to receive 4. The bug people are coming to spray and locks are being changed that afternoon, Tuesday the carpets are getting cleaned and Wednesday Maria is coming to do a final total house cleaning! It will be busy before hopefully a nice long relaxing weekend well somewhat relaxing as I think Greg's parents are having a going away dinner for us Saturday and Sunday we have a shower down at the bay, which I am sure my kids are looking forward to as they love the bay and Mary Ann and Terry taking them for rides on the golf cart. I guess they better take as much as they can in as in Korea they won't get it. There is many things they are accustomed too they will not get in Korea and not just food, they won't have the "buses" at the grocery store like they do here, they will not have a "sand box" like they do here nor will have the Barbie jeep and Gator that they ride on a daily basis! They will be in for a rude awaking especially when Mackenzie realizes none of her friends, cousins and grandparents are going to be there. It is only a 16 month assignment so it shouldn't be too bad!

Here are a few pictures from the past year.....Hopefully I will keep up with this a little better starting now so you will know what all we are up too!!
