School is back in session

Hi all,

I'm healthy again and the kids won't let me slack on school anymore. In the past 2 days they've managed to catch up on almost a weeks worth of work. I rewarded them with a new book. They responded with "Cool a new book! Thanks mom" They ran off to read it right away.

Here's a pic of them enjoying their reward.

Our trip to Virginia to look for a new rental house was a success!

Hi All,

We had an excellent trip to Virginia. The trip up was nice, the kids were wonderful in the car. It took us about 1hr to find a house. We had a list of about 15 of them to look at and the first one we looked at was a hit. It was in the right spot, a great neighborhood, had a perfect layout and just the right amount of space. It's in Chesapeake VA which means the drive to Norfolk for Matt won't be nearly as bad as it was the last time we lived in VA. The people that are renting it to us are also in the Navy and were happy a Navy family was interested. They even left behind a Rainbow playset for the kids to enjoy. .
