Update

Quick update. I have no pictures, because we have cameras but no chargers, so our batteries are dead. We are living above Mike's sister's shop.  It is like living in a hotel for a long period of time.  We have gotten use to all going to bed at the same time, and waking up at the same time. Corbin is going to school in Emmett and seems to like it. It is a nice school and I like it a lot more than Florida.   I haven't missed work at all, other than interacting with my coworkers. Mike is getting use to his new job, and sleeping schedule. We spend most of our free time looking for a house to buy. We had found one that was a short-sale that we wanted but it has gone into forclosure. We are looking at other things, while we wait for it to come back on the market. Merek has become very clingy. I'm not sure if he is always like this or if it is because he is a little sick. For Halloween, I was going to have Corbin wear last years costume (I'd bought it big) but it is way to small for him, so his cousin let him borrow a ninja costume. Tyler is a cowboy, and is so cute. Ryaln and merek are both spiders.

Final Move Plans

Many people have asked about the details of our trip.  It is going to be a whirlwind month. Mike's last day at his job in Texas is this Thursday. Then he'll head back to Florida. On the 13th, he is headed to Boise to look for a house for two days. From that point we'll spend our time working, working on the house, and packing. Mike's mom and sister are flying in to help drive. They plan on leaving here on the 30th. My last day of work is October 1st. It will be a bitter sweet day for me. The boys and I are flying out of Florida on the 2nd. From there we don't really have plans yet. Mike has to report to work on the 6th, and he starts on the 11th.

Catch up

Here are some of the pictures that I have been meaning to post, but haven't.

This Summer Corbin had a swim meet. It was a two day event, but we only swam one day. I found it really hard to watch the swim events with the three other boys but we still had a good time.

And Tyler waiting...

Corbin started the 2nd grade on Aug 10. His teacher is Mrs. Johnson, and he loves school. This year has been really nice, and we'll be sad to leave this class.

News

Wow, It seems like there is a lot of new things to report.

First, As many people know, I have been waiting to get laid-off, so that we could join Mike in Texas. Well, I've been notified that I will be laid-off on October 1. I am so greatful. I don't think I could have lasted another month. Being a working, single parent of 4 boys has been a lot of hard work. I now have a greater respect for both my husband and all of the single mothers that I have known. Second, We are expecting our 5th child in March. We are excited to welcome the new member of the family. I always love meeting my children for the first time. Any bets, that I'll break the gender streak? And lastly, and probably the biggest news, Mike has accepted a new job at St. Lukes Hospital in BOISE IDAHO. We are moving back home! His new job is starting Oct. 11, and we should be there sometime in the beginning of October.
