Early March

Good evening to all. I wanted to give updates and say hi. No, I still don't have pictures up, I am a little slow at that. Sorry.

First off, the kids are well. We are interviewing Nanny's for a few of them due to letting go our old one which is a long and complicated story that I choose not to go into. But believe me in this, it is for the best. We have one more interview tomorrow and then we will decide who we hire. Phil has been on leave to interview them.
My transfer orders came in and I will be departing a bit sooner than planned. I will be departing in July for a year, but the place is not as bad as we were afraid of. Though it would not be the best thing to tell you on a blog where I am going, but if you are dying to know, you can call us.
But, the job is a good one and it can help me make E7 if I do it right. And, it put same home before Phil has to go to sea duty which was my number one concern really for the kids sake.

I did not get SOY but that is okay, I was still nominated, so that is a good thing. We should have results soon however on if either of us made board for E7. Rumor has it, they will be released on the 10th, we shall see.

Phil, he is doing well for a man who has learned he will be Mr. Mom for a year. But, he is tougher than he thinks. I did it for a year and gave birth, naturally as I remind him, (lol), than he can do it. He is still in college against what he would prefer, still procrastinating it to no means, but he is hanging in there.
Alyssa is doing well in school, her report card was great. I have been volunteering at her school every Tuesday for the past few weeks, she loves that. Only a few more weeks left of that though.
Timmy is in full swing with his pre-school and he really likes it.
Becca is doing good as well, we are working on potty training and she is on a waiting list for pre-school, probably get in around June.
Boyd is doing well and eating a lot. On cereal, fruits, and veggies, as well as juice with his formula. Loving life, has a great and loud personality and talks constantly. But he loves his naps, takes long ones.

We have a few new additions to the family. We decided it was time to get another dog and ended up with two. I got a basset hound and we got the kids a lab/St Bernard mix. They are moving along slowly with the training but moving still. They do adore each other though which is good.
We also inherited a cat unexpectedly, but she is a good girl.


Other than that, I stay busy with the kids, school, work, and getting various letters ready for my officers package so it is ready before I deploy. I registered for the Graduate Record Exam which I have to take for this package. I also bought a book to study for it because it appears to be rather hard. That is in the beginning of April, if that goes as I hope, than the rest of my package will be easy compared to it.


Take care and stay safe to all, will update when new things happen.
