Another Change

So, if you are keeping up with us you know our assignment has changed three times so far.  Well, here's another one.  We are now going to D.C.  This one has been approved and we should get our RFO(next step towards getting actual orders) this coming week.  We are thinking this one will stick because they are running out of options.  After four changes now we are hoping to be done.  We will still be moving this summer in late June or early July.  Keeping our fingers crossed.

Moving Again

To let everyone know, our orders to Germany were cancelled.   It then looked like we were going to Tampa, but that didn't work out either.  So, this week we are going to Scott AFB outside of St. Louis.  We are super disappointed, but keep telling ourselves it will be better for Lexi in the long run.  There seem to be good schools in the area so Addison should get a good start in kindergarten.  This still isn't 100% either, so we'll see if me blogging about it jinxes it and we get another assignment!

Cupcake recipe

Ok, I'll try posting the link for those great cupcakes.  Hope it works.  http://realmomkitchen.com/6745/pink-lemonade-cupcakes/

Valentine's Day

The girls had their parties yesterday, so we did Valentine's kinda a day early.  They got all dressed up for school.  We had simple homemade valentines for each girls' class.  I forgot to take pictures though so you all will just have to trust how wonderful and crafty I was.  Even Daddy helped out.  The day was a great success.

And then Addison had snack bucket today.  So of course I sent these amazing pink lemonade cupcakes with heart candies on them.  Her teacher really appreciates me and the amount of sugar I can fit into one "snack." LOL!  I will say these things tasted wonderful though.  If you follow me on Pinterest I pinned the recipe on there.  I don't know how to add links here so sorry.  My girls are pretty darn cute if I say so myself!  (Although not very cooperative when taking pictures.)

Never as it seems...

The Army has it's own unique way of messing with people.  We are on the receiving end of this once again.  My husband got his assignment for post school.  Moving this summer to Heidelberg, Germany!  He is excited for the job and I was excited for the opportunity for my family.  We've never done an overseas tour, so this would be a completely new experience.  Of course, we find out my husband will only be in that job for about 8 months and then the post is closing.  So where does that leave us?  Of course there is no plan so there are no answers to give.  Could we move to another NATO command in Europe?  Or would they really move us all the way back to the states after less than a year?  No answers, only more questions.

All of this I could live with, except for the fact that my oldest starts kindergarten next year.  She had a hard time when we moved this past summer.  We'll have been here a year when we move to Germany.  She'll start kindergarten and have to move again for 1st grade.  I know they say kids are resilient, but my heart breaks for her.  I was hoping we would have 3 stable years for her.  I know some of y'all are thinking, but you just spent 4 years at Fort Campbell.  However, my husband deployed twice and she had a baby sister born.  Life was hard there for us.  I hope through all this we can keep it positive and fun and I can find a way to help my girls adjust successfully.



P.S.  To my mom, as I blog to keep everyone updated on us, please resist the urge to correct my grammar.  We all know I'm not a great writer.  Thank you!
