Where did the summer go?

This is probably the longest and hardest summer for us. As we are about to embark on our journey to Germany, between Dan's officer training course to my work, the baby, and the kids we are literally all in three different states. Dan and I made a decision to send the kids home to Chicago for the summer. Aside from our schedules, we know that this summer maybe a while before they'll get to see their extended family. Its been almost 4 weeks since they have been there on their own. I miss them so much and can't wait till they get home soon! Isaac is becoming the big brother and Jed is becoming more talkative and even started talking in 2-3 word sentences. They are having fun with both sides of the family and the best is that they are getting to know their aunts, uncles, and baby Joshua.

Dan is doing officer basic training down in San Antonio. I just visited him with my last weekend of being able to fly. We were able to hang out even went to a water park and relived our good old days. I can't believe that we've been married for 6 years now and I still can't sleep without him. When I got there, I slept over 10 hours the first night, the first since he left.

As for me, I am on my final stretch. I have my c-section in 4 weeks. This baby is a squirmer. I'm at the point where I feel constant pelvic pressure and i know I am showing a lot lower than my other two because I'm not as short of breath as i am with the other two. Work was great, I had a great time working for the military as a contractor. I love my job, but all in all i'm ready for this summer to be over with and my family coming home and finally get our move to Germany going.

If you ever think of us...pray

for safe travel as the kids, Steve, and Dan travels home
safe delivery of baby Gabe
smooth transition of our move to Germany
that our condo can be rented out
God would prepare a fellowship for us there
