Wow! It's amazing how fast time flies! I never realized how busy three little girls could keep one person! I haven't wrote since Natalie was born really! And there has been so much change since then...I'll give a brief description (hopefully) and try to catch you up! My goal so to get this going again even though not to many seem to read..it works out as a good outlet for me none the less! I think everyone needs that at some point!

Summer 2010 came to a close and things finally fell into a nice routine. Of course it got all messed up slightly when the school year started, but it didn't take to much work to get into the swing of things! Natalie's first year of life left her home and Hannah home with Mommy! Kayhlynn completed her first grade year with what seemed like ease! She really does love school (this might change as the years get harder!)...but she really applies herself and gives it her all! She does such a fantastic job....we are very proud of her! During her first grade year came some BIG changes to our life in Japan. We experienced our first Natural Disaster (for someone never being in one it was kinda scary). March 11, 2011 Japan's Honshu Island (the main island) was hit with a 9.0 earthquake which brought behind it a 30 foot high Tsunami (a really huge wave)!! The earthquake knocked the electricity out....everything was electric...we spent the weekend like this! We finally got restored power and Internet (word got out to our families well before this that we were a okay) and discovered that the whole Eastern coast was devastated beyond words. It was like being hit with a tidal wave of dispare finding this out! All we could do was sit and watch and look. My heart broke...I knew then what we had just experienced....were continuing to experience was going to be with us forever. It was changing our lives in a massive way! We evacuated Japan about a week later. We stayed with in Ohio for about three months. In this time The base got its bearings back....all the extra personnel were flew back home (wherever that was), and life resumed as normal...well as normal as it was going to be then. Kayhlynn finished her first grade year at an Elmentary School named Midvale Elementary School. She hated every minute of it. They ere far ahead of where she was in Japan so she played catch up. We were dealing with some PTSD (undiagnosed) and some unsettling emotions of having to live so far away from Daddy and it wasn't the Navy's doing!! Lol....we worked through it all, survived and flew back to our home in Japan. Life resumed like we never left. Minus the few who tried to make us feel like we didn't belong anymore because we left and came back! But we managed to keep out friends, our faith, and our bearings! We enjoyed our last year there!
     That following summer we still experienced many after shock quakes (on top of the hundreds and hundreds we felt before we left), but we went out and explored a lot! We enjoyed as much and as often as we could! The beginning of the school quickly came to the front. We readied for it! Two out of three girls were going to school this year! How exciting! Hannah started kindergarten and Kayhlynn went into second! It was nice...the doors they went into were really close together! We fell back into a nice routine. I started watching what we were eating and going to the gym. I lost 30 pounds. Natalie learned to walk while we were Ohio so she of course was into everything!  Trying to climb the stairs and just give me a heart attack! Hannah struggled through Kindergarten! But we stayed involved and pushed as hard as we could for the school to help her. What seemed like no avail. They did nothing...I really believe they failed her! No matter how hard we worked the teacher worked against during the school day. It was a bad situation! We dealt as best as we could. Kayhlynn had another great year. She had some areas she struggled in, but fixed with extra help in those and got them where they needed to be! She learned she had a live for science and social studies! Natalie hit many mile stones...talking, running, walking, no more bottles!! She loves her stroller rides every morning and every afternoon! She looked forward to them! We walked every where! But as this school year started coming to a close....daddy was busy trying to figure out where the Navy was going to move us next! We tried very hard to stay in Japan...no luck...Italy....on luck....every where but where we ended up! He got orders cut for Sugar Grove, West Virginia! That meant our house, our cat, and us had to gear up for a really big move! We started making sure everything was in place!
    February 2012 we held a joint birthday party for Kayhlynn and Hannah so all their gifts could get packed in our pack out! They had a fantastic time partying with their friends! The movers came and packed out our whole house in ONE day! We were left with nothing! It was the moment when everything became real! The girls were still going to school and Natalie got just a little bit mor clingy because she didn't understand what was going on! The following day another moving crowd came and packed up our unaccompanied baggage (express shipment). Then the reality of our short amount of time became apparent!  I had to leave my life in Japan and rebuild a life in the states. I had to leave my home...my kids had to leave their home...it has been
