I am SO behind!

I know that you are all wondering why in the world we have a blog if I dont keep it updated....
I am so sorry.

We are busy around here. Let me see if I can get you all up to date:
Kain is enjoying school.... 2 girlfriends already Emerson and Katie. Mrs Blair says, "the girls love Kain and Kain loves the girls" Looks like we are going to have our hands full when he is older *sigh* He is learning so much, so fast. He is reading level one books, knows about 50-60 new words and walks around singing the months of the year and days of the week. I think that the most shocking thing thus far was when he was in the playroom and I heard him in there with his flag in his hand, "one nation under God....with liberty and justice for all" WOW!! such a smart boy. We are proud!

Kailyn is doing great!! She is learning so much from Kain. Counting is getting so much easier for her (we are up to about 50 now) She knows about 15 of Kain's sight words and is trying to read books with him. She too knows the pledge (Kain is an awesome little teacher!) She and I really enjoy our time together during the day. Trips to the library, park and did I mention how easy it is to shop with one.... haha!! She just finished up her swim lessons and is asking when she can go again. She is a water baby!! She is such a big girl now. I often find myself looking at her and how much she has changed. She amazes us more and more everyday!!!

Corey is doing good! He is really enjoying the squadron that he is at. The short commute to work is a HuGe plus! There are several guys in the squadron that he knows from the past and it is nice to reconnect with them. He will be leaving on Sept 6 to go out to California to get the helicopters from the squadron that is closing down there. They are expected to be back the first week of Oct. This should be the only trip that they have to take for a few months. The next one is scheduled for Feb. It is so nice to have him home more in the afternoons and no working on weekends since we are no longer in a reserve squadron. Family time here is awesome. We get a lot of it!!!

I am doing well. I am really getting adjusted to the area and I love it. The area where we live is so much like home in GA and then we can drive 25 min. East and be at the beach. It is like the best of both worlds. I am enjoying being home during the day with Kailyn and being able to spend one on one time with her that I have never had the opportunity to do. I am meeting new people through Kain's friends at school and through church.

Our church is AMAZING!! It is so nice having a church family that we know we can call on. We are currently going to the "Newcomers" class to learn more about the church. In the class we have met others that are just moving to the area. Small world- the pastor of our church is best friends with a pastor of a church in Carrollton (my hometown) how cool is that?!?!?! And I know his best friend, when I used to work at Carrollton Eye Clinic, I fit him for glasses!! It truly is a small world!!!!

Well, that is our update.... I hope that everyone is doing well!!!!
All God's Best!
