A long-awaited update

WHEW! May sure flew by quickly! On the 4th we sent Kyle off to SERE school. While he was gone Elizabeth and I went to Kansas to visit family AND introduce her to David! We had a great time and were incredibly grateful to be able to spend time out in Kansas with the gang. It was also a good way to make the time pass a little quicker! :)

For those of you that don't know, SERE is Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape. It is a really tough school, and we are very proud of Kyle for finishing! It might be hard on the family being alone and having no communication whatsoever with their soldier, but that doesn't compare in the least bit to what these guys (and ladies!) go through. Some of the stories might make my skin crawl, but I am thankful Kyle had this training. It could save his life someday.

With the end of SERE, we fully expected to know what our next duty station would be. Well, you know how the Army is... hurry up and wait! :) Now we should know by the end of this week. With graduation just 3 weeks away, we are really cutting it close for planning. If we get Germany, we assume Kyle might have to go ahead of us. If we get stateside, we should be able to plan in time. Keep us in your prayers as we wait, wait, wait, and then have to scramble to get everything accomplished quickly.

Elizabeth is still growing quickly. We had to upgrade her to a convertible car seat this week. She will use this one for quite awhile. It even turns into a booster seat when she is 4. She loves to clap now.

Well, I need to go as she needs some attention. I will try to add pictures later.
