Colorado

Well, December 10th we made the long flight back to the USA! We flew into Colorado Springs and stayed the night with Jason's sister. My parents met us there and the next day we drove to Arizona for our 30 days of leave! We spent 2 weeks in Arizona with family and celebrated Christmas. On Christmas day we drove to Nebraska to celebrate Christmas with my family! We spend 2 weeks there then make the final trek to Colorado Springs...our new home! We are going to be moving into a new home on base the beginning of February, but for now we are staying with Jason's sister. We are getting settled into the town and loving it so far.
We have already started some site seeing. Last weekend (on my 31st birthday) we visited Focus on the Family. It was a great time for the kids as well as the adults. We enjoyed lunch and, of course, the bookstore! We have our "bucket list" of things we want to do and see in the next 2 years we are here.
We are so thankful to be back in the states and closer to family! Now, we begin real life again and getting back into daily life. We are starting the process of getting referrals for Tucker to get in to see specialists. I will keep everyone posted on what happens. :)

JaNuArY

Well, it's 2009! Where has the time gone? We are looking forward to a great year!
Paige, 17 months now, is the joy of our lives! She is so much fun and everyday makes us smile and laugh. She is growing up so much and talking more and more! It's getting colder now, so we have to play inside alot. Her sandbox sits empty for the winter. Soon enough, it will be spring and we will be out and about! We are planning on planting a garden - she will love being in the dirt. It will be a great outdoor activity!
Jason is still traveling back and forth to Phoenix, which is a long drive for him, but he and I are so thankful that he has a good job! He is currently involved in our church's Men's Fraternity and is the director of our AWANA's TREK (junior high) group (as am I). We are also involved in a young families group as well.
I am still staying at home and enjoying the precious time I have with Paige. I also babysit my friend's little boy as well. They are great friends already! :)
We are planning for more children, and are sure it will happen in God's time! We are so thankful for all of His provisions in our lives! HAPPY 2009!
