October

October has been a busy month for us so far. Matt was busy with a big project at work and then had an exercise to be a part of so he has been very busy. Ryan has tons of friends around the neighborhood that he is constantly playing outside with. Colin keeps himself busy with toys and the trampoline. I am going to sing in the church Christmas show with a choir and so I have that and volunteering at the hospital. It feels really nice to be busy though. I thought I would stick a couple of pictures up that we took recently since I haven't been too great about putting up pictures. Other than that there is nothing much to report. I hope everyone is doing well over your way and I hope to hear from you soon.

We Wish We Were Home

I am seriously lacking pictures! I guess that I haven't been taking too many because this one of Colin and one that Ryan took of us are the only ones I can really find. I will really have to do better.

It is October now and so begins one of my favorite times of the year. As I told Matt, these are the three months of the year that I count as one. It always seems to me that these last three months just fly by, so I am now considering it one month. This is good news to us, because we are really starting to feel the itch to leave here and get back to our "normal" lives.

Matt has been very busy working on a project that has to get done, so he has been working a lot of extra hours. He is finishing up this semester of school and then is looking forward to taking a couple of terms off. He also should recieve his Associates some time this month. We are still waiting to find out if he has to go anywhere this next year or not. We are keeping our fingers crossed, or at least I am.

Ryan is still doing tennis lessons and he is signed up for flag football, which doesn't start until next month, or should I say later "this" month! He is doing well at school and really likes his teacher and classmates. He spends his days running around outside which is a plus for me, but very hard for Colin because he wants to go too.

Colin has had quite a temper lately and is still stubborn about using the potty and other "big boy" things. I think I need to just commit myself to the potty training so that we can really get it done with. We have the trampoline set up now and Colin loves to jump on it. I have to stand right beside it though because we don't have the net yet.

I have recoved from my surgery after the miscaraige and I am starting to look for another job. I really want to get out of the house. I am starting piano lessons as a birthday present and I am looking forward to being able to teach Ryan some stuff as well. I haven't been to the hospital in about a month, but when Matt gets done with his project I will be heading back.

Anyway, as the title of this says, we are ready to go HOME! We miss the states, matt misses football, I miss school, and of course we miss all of our family. Only a little more than a year and we will be out of here! Pretty soon the countdown will begin and we can say "this is our last (fill in the month) here"  Choices.....here we come!
