I have seen a really good idea going on with some of the blogs I read and I think I'm going to snag the idea!! Once a week, my day will be Friday, I will post 5 things that have been happening with us during the week. Just an update so you all know what's going on in our daily lives!
I'll start with Caitlyn...she is being a typical 4 year old, just a little more emotional than most, lol!! For a while we had been having attitude issues with her and we have been working really hard with her to express each emotion properly. She's been doing pretty well with that. She still has a few moments where she gets into trouble but for the most part she is really trying to express herself in the right way. She is no longer in basketball. Jay and I felt she just wasn't quite ready for it yet. She didn't really pay much attention and the way they were doing it here, the time span for them was just too long. She lost focus after about 20 minutes when they had an entire hour to focus. Too long for that age!! She is getting big into sitting down and looking at books. She has such an imagination. She makes up the story as she goes, it's really cute to hear what she comes up with. Just as when she plays with her barbies or her Polly Pocket dolls. I remember being the same way when I was little. Sitting there for hours with a huge imagination making them all talk to eachother.
Cory, our little man....he is growing up way too fast right before our eyes! He is doing absolutely great! I have been having some meetings with his teacher and principal because I've been concerned about an area in school where I feel Cory is struggling. We made some changes for him and since then Cory has been doing great. He's not perfect in the area but has made a huge improvement. He's a lot more eager to learn now, not all the time but more than usual. He is doing awesome in basketball!! Had another game last night, which was probably one of the most intense 8/9 year old game I have ever seen!!! Cory made about 3 amazing shots and his last one had people in the stands up on their feet!! He was loving it!! He is also very into girls right now.....oh boy! He talks about taking his girlfriends on dates and such. I can't believe we are already at that point with him. He's no longer afraid to admit when he likes a girl! A little scary I must say!
Jason has been on leave now for almost 3 weeks. He is going back next week but only to complete his check out from 2/7 and a few days later he'll be back on leave again! He is very ready to start the check out process so he can begin looking forward to his new job. He's been staying very busy going to the gym trying to stay in shape so he looks good when he arrives in Virginia. Always wants to look his best when going somewhere new. He's also been such a big help with Cory in the mornings. Getting him off to school and making their own routine. I sure am going to miss him for the week he's not here in the mornings, haha!!
And as for Mommy....I have been very busy this past week just trying to get things in the house done and ready for our big moving sale! It's been nice to be able to finally put things aside and know we will have less to move with. I am getting started back on my workout routine today. It has been very cold here in the mornings so I have not been on any walks in quite a long time and I feel it!! Since it's been warming up Jenny and I will be starting our walks again!! I have also been getting my relationship with God back where it needs to be. I've fallen short with that and have come to realize that in my life God needs to be number 1. It feels good knowing that Im making that change. I've always believed in God ever since I was little but I have lost sight of Him a time or two. I've been making changes to where I won't lost sight anymore.
Today, we will be going to give our 30 day notice to move. I can't believe this time has come already. I remember the day Jay told me we had orders to Quantico and how I thought it was so far away in time. But here we are with a month left until we move out of the place we've called home for the last 3 years. We still have a lot to do but are moving along just fine. We've been trying to spend as much time as we can with all of our friends here. Just the other day we let the kids play with the water table which turned into Jay and I having a water fight with all the kids! It was so much fun and it really made us realize how much we are going to miss the ones we have become so close with.
