I just want to share a little bit about what is going on here. We madly preparing to move to England! Many people ask, "Doesn't the Air Force Move you?"

Well that's all I can think of right now. This doesn't include all Blake's personal out processing stuff. If we weren't moving to another country I think I would have opted to do it ourselves:) It will be nice to be done with it all. The kids are being troopers while mom and dad are so busy. They are so good at taking care of eachother. Remi fixed lunch for them today and they went outside and had a picnic on our picnic blanket under umbrellas. It was so cute.

This morning Remi said something so cute. She was telling me how one of her friends held a spider. She said,"Mom, my friend held a spider in her hand. It was a scary spider, it wasn't even a daddy long leg, OR a mommy long leg." I guess not there are mommy long legs!
