I don't want to hear about it. I know its been a long time!

A really long time!!! I refuse to try and play catch up. Too much time has passed and I wouldnt even know where to start. We are all here, all growing, all learning, and all still loving each other!!! YEAH!

I have set a goal to try to update weekly with new pics of the kiddos and what we have been up to. If you know me well, you know that I am not much of a goal keeper, but I am praying this one will be the one that changes my whole world!! Who knows, maybe next Ill aspire to run a 10 miler. Oh wait, that too was a forgotten goal! Oh well... Here goes nothing!!

We are still here in Korea. We are loving the country and enjoying all of the adventures, but are looking forward to our return to America in April. We just recently found out our next assignment will be Dallas, Texas and I am beyond excited because 3 of my favorite things are there; In N Out Burger, Ikea, and Beth Moore! :) Also, we are trying our hand at homeschooling this year and that has been a huge adjustment and blessing all at once. Kayden has been such a joy to have around and it has been so awesome to be there when the light bulb goes off and things make sense. He is so smart. He gets the brains from his daddy. Little Michael is also homeschooling and is really our class clown. He works so diligently and then quietly ( VERY LOUDLY ) sits still ( CRACKS JOKES ) as he waits for the rest of the crew to be finished!! He is a bundle of energy and can make me laugh AT LEAST 100 times a day! He also gets this from his daddy!!! Lily has been a great sport about this new schedule and really enjoys having her brothers around. When her big brothers are around she is constantly protected from all evil and injustice in the world. EXCEPT of course for the torture that they endure on her. She is spoiled and I think she knows it!! :) Here are some pictures from this week thus far... And folks, its only Tuesday! So far, my goal is being met. Yeah me!
