I am SO excited... We will be leaving Ft. Gordon this friday... We will be in Newnan from the 28th through around the 21st of September.
Chris has to work with his recruiter from the 29th through the 11th, but after that we will be on leave... It is a long drive to Ft. Huachuca and we are hoping to be heading that way around the 21st unless our housing becomes ready before then...which we have been told it won't be.
We have reservations all made and have temporary housing waiting on us when we get there.
We are excited...sorta irritated that we have a month of lay over between Augusta and Arizona but we will gladly take the time to visit with family and friends...

The school year has begun!
Well, yesterday was the kids first day of school for the 2009-2010 school year. AND the girls FIRST day of school period.... I really thought I was going to be emotional when I dropped them off in their classroom, but there was so much paperwork that I had to do (they were added to the class last minute) that I was rushed off to the other side of the school to finish their registration. Then by the time I returned, I was informed that Celsie had just gotten over being upset, so I had to quickly turn my back to the class so she wouldn't see me.... So once again, I rushed out...
The boys were excited to start school. When we got there, Jacob was a little reserved and standoffish (he is my shy child and usually clings in unfamiliar territory) but he dusted his emotions off and got out of the van. I am glad to see that he is learning that its ok to be nervous, to take a breath and then step forward. I have really worked a lot with Jacob and coming out of his shell, so I was SO thankful when he handled his emotions himself!!!
They all four had a blast and look forward to going monday. As for me, I didn't know what to do with myself, I felt like I needed to reintroduce myself to Chris. I have always had a child attached to my hip or in a room near by needing my attention for 7 years now. So it was definitely weird for me, but Chris got the day free with me, we enjoyed lounging pool side child free and going to lunch... I even cleaned the apartment in an hour! We went window shopping and still had time to spare before picking the kiddos up from school.
I am looking forward to this new stage with the kids. I know the stress of four kids with homework is in my near future, but for the time being I will enjoy the extra freedoms to find myself, enroll in college hopefully in the near future, and actually do my housework without it being destroyed as soon as I complete a task. We have spoke many times of how this day would seem and how happy I would be. Its here today and its bittersweet. Sweet to know that I made it! I survived toddlerhood of four kids. Bitter to know that my toddler years are finished.
