I guess it is time for a Major update huh??? Goodness I have missed Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Valentines Day; and I am in major jeopardy of missing Easter as well.... I am so sorry everyone. Since Eric has gotten back my life has hit overdrive. Trying to keep up with schooling, field trips, Girl Scouts, Irish Dance , Football (fall) and now Baseball as well as AWANAs and puppy training things been a challenge to say the least. The kids are doing great. Growing like weeds and trying to break mom and dads clothing fund. Hannah and Leisha have come a long way in Irish Dancing. They are hoping to place out of a couple of dances in their next competition in May. If they can get that done, then I think their teacher will move them up to the intermediates. Although this is a major goal for the girls, I don't think they understand that their feet could very well fall off. Abbi is still searching for her "something" to do. She just hasn't found what makes her happy yet. Noah is having fun with his sports. He tried football for the first time last fall and he wasn't impressed. They only have flag football for his age level so I think that takes some of the fun out of the game. He is now playing baseball and is enjoying it much more. Noelle is just a princess and still loves to just cuddle with you if you let her. EJ is waiting impatiently to get to DO something. EJ and Noelle were taking swim lessons up until about three weeks ago when our beloved instructor got very sick. Noelle is pretty good although she gets cold very quickly... imagine that... EJ sinks like a rock while moving his arms. It is kinda funny to watch. Lilly is just busy. She loves to swim and does VERY well. She has no fear and spends more time under the water then anything else. She also loves Irish dancing and will probably be in the beginner class before the year is out.

Well since I am so far behind in updating.... I will try and add at least one or two new blogs a day..... then I will be caught up right??
We added our newest Newfie, Typhoon and the kids are in total love with him. He is so different than Tsunami, while 'Swami is loud and wild, 'Phoons is laid back and quiet. He is going to be much bigger than 'Swami so it is probaby a good thing he is a quiet gentle giant.

Mine Tour
For those of you who don't know a friend of mine and myself somehow got nominated to set up field trips for our humble homeschool group here in Germany. During the summer we had set up things for me and others with deployed spouses the stay busy and it really just ended up carrying over. So far we have had only minor glitches... all and all not to bad..
On this day we went to a mine close to us in Idar Oberstien. This area is known world wide for their gem cutting...

naturally are growing the cave...very cool

Daddy is Home
I wish I could post a picture of when daddy finally got home but by the time he actually got off the plane we didn't have the camera ready. He was late and then we got soaked with rain as we waited for him... Bless his heart he got frozen pizza for his coming home dinner.... We were supposed to have Chili's but of course it was packed and I didn't have a back up plan ready... OH WELL at least he got home and was fed right??!!
Tsunami
Back Again.....
Well everyone... life seemed to just take off and hasn't slowed down much. Since Tsunami has gotten here we have had a very full schedule and that was even before Eric got back.

Well all....Tsunami has landed. The kids and I picked up the new puppy July 11 and we are having a ball. Tsunami is such a good puppy as of right now I should say. I think he is still trying figure everything all out. The housebreaking is going much better then I thought it was going to be. He isn't eating as much as I thought he would be I am VERY sure we will get there very quickly. He is living up to his heritage and LOVES water. If there is water he will find it. He drinks with at least one paw in the dish or he will do what I call a drive by dunking. He will walk over and put both feet in the dish, take a quick sip of water and walk off.... with a nice trail of water behind. Makes a much better puddle to lay in if you do this several times LOL.
He is already in puppy training and we are working on all the basics a little everyday. It will be so much fun to watch him grow...
