Family Update

Well, since the last time I updated the blog, a lot has happened. Kaylin started the 2nd grade and she loves it. She is doing great so far, getting 100's on her reading tests. We are of course very proud. Kaylin has been spending a lot of time with her friend Charisma which is great. We are just a little sad that we are leaving and she has to say goodbye to another friend. Kaylin's birthday is coming up, which she is excited about, but I am a little sad because she will be 7 years old. I remember when I used to rock her to sleep, where does the time go.





I started babysitting a 7 month old. She is so adorable and such a great baby. She only cries when she is hungry or really tired. She is always laughing, smiling, and making funny noises. It is a blast having a baby around and it makes me think, but then I watch three 7 year old girls and change my mind.

We are starting to finalize our moving plans. We actually are moving in only 4 short weeks. So much to do, but I am doing good packing stuff so I don't have to do it the last minute. I think that it is finally hitting me that Pete is going to Alaska and will be deploying shortly after. It is scary and sad that he is going over there. Once we move, I will definitely keep up to date with the blog so Pete can see everything going on with us. Well, that's about it for now. Will post again soon.

Long Summer

Well, it has been a long time since I have made a blog post. Things have been busy, but some of it fun. Kaylin and I went to Charlotte in May for the race with my mom and dad. It was a blast and then Kaylin went home with Me Ma and Pe Pa for a month. She had a really good time there and got a good tan. When she came home we all went to six flags and had so much fun. Pete and I went on all the roller coasters and Kaylin had fun with Me Ma while we did that. It was a perfect day to go, it wasn't busy, wasn't too hot, and no lines for anything. We couldn't believe that there were basically no lines.

This past week, I have been watching a friends daughters. One of the girls was in Kaylin's first grade class, so they got along pretty well. They had their moments, but it was nice for Kaylin to have someone to play with. Starting next week, I will be babysitting a 7 month old and 3 year old. The 3 year old will just be here next week and then after that I will just have the 7 month old. It will be fun to have a baby around again.

Kaylin starts the 2nd grade on Monday and we are both excited. I cannot believe that she is in the 2nd grade already. She is really excited about going to school again and I love that she is so excited. The next 2 months will be busy because I am trying to pack and get things ready for the move. We are moving on September 27th (Kaylin's birthday), so there is so much to do before then. I need to pack very tight, so we don't have to get storage at my mom and dads. I am excited about moving, because we will be able to save money and get bills paid off.

Well, I guess that is enough for now, but I will update more then I have.
