Way to long







I have finally gotten back on my blog after much frustration and irration and no time to continue. But with that said, We have moved to Ft. Leavenworth, KS for 10 months and are planning to return to El Paso. We find that information out next Tuesday.






Since we have been here the kids have learned to ride bikes, have neighbors right next door and learned what we mean when we say things like that came from the 70's. Our house we are living in is about 50 years old and has been updated a little here and there. We went from an 1800 square foot home to a 1200 square foot home. You don't realize how much of a difference that is until you had 1800 square feet of living space and go to smaller. We have learned to love it and conserve space as much as we can.






Anyway, the kids like to be able to walk out the door and find someone to play with. The don't care for the bitter cold. El Paso didn't get this cold ever or very often. But it is about a 20 degree difference. They enjoy school and have liked not being the only blondies in the whole school.






I am the cubscout leader and that has been an interesting calling. I have learned a lot about the energy of five 8-9 year olds in a room without supervision. That has been quite the challenge. Dave is in school here and it is ok. He was told he was to have some free time to spend with family but we are still waiting for it. He has learned a lot and is ready to move on. He teaches the 14-15 year olds Sunday school class and has really enjoyed it.






Not much else really going on with us. I think that covers the update. I will post some pictures from our trip to Idaho and here in Kansas. I didn't realize that trick or treat in a neighborhood could yield so much candy. I think I threw out 90 % two weeks after we got it.






I will blog somemore.

Thanks Cami. It just seems to take so long to get things down anymore. Especially when you have to drive one of your kids to school 20 minutes one way and then you come home to get as much done as you can before you have to pick him up.
