Nearly Christmas

By -

Where, oh where, did November go?? It's nearly Christmas and the kids have been a blast! Tyler really understands the magic of Santa and our "Elf on the Shelf" sent to us from the north pole, Elfred. Daddy thought of the cute name.

In the past 3 weeks, I recovered from a bad case of strep throat, Avery had a bad cold and Daddy had his 3rd shoulder surgery. We are all recuperated, except Daddy. He can't lift anything heavier than and apple for 4 weeks. We hope this will be his last surgery, but the doctor thinks he will need a shoulder replacement around age 50....yikes.

We are headed to New York to celebrate the holidays. It will be great to be near family.

My mom.  She raised me to not quit.  She didn't quit on me when times are tough (and boy, they were *tear* toug...

This month of April really kicked off with many trips.  Bob traveled TDY to Greece for a few weeks. Our family really missed having the extra TLC in our home.  Although everything get's accomplished (school & after school adventures), I personally feel like a car chugging on 3 wheels.  It makes it down the road - but we sure miss that 4th wheel. This picture was added to the AFNorth "Month of a Military kid" wall.  I simply love that Cammie wanted to be in the photo too :D  Avery was wearing her pjs - that's just life.  Dad was heading out the door. The kids started swim lessons at the JFC-Brunssum, Netherlands pool.  I'm told the Dutch take kids swim lessons very seriously and even follow a certification program due to all the canals in Holland.  After being on the wait-list for 6 months, I was excited for Tyler and Avery to learn proper strokes.  Tyler already had swim lessons in school but this class actually seems to encourage ...
