First day of school!

So the kids are off to they're first day of school today! I am very excited about that as you can imagine. Samantha is in pre-k this year and feels like such a big kid going to big kid school. We went to the school yesterday for orientation, and got to meet the kids teachers and see where they're classrooms are. Both teachers seem very nice and I look forward to a good school year. Andi is in her last year of jr. high, then it is off to high school. It is so crazy, she was just in diapers and now she is a couple years from driving! How fast the time goes! John is doing well at work, he will be going to the E5 board in the next couple of months, so he will finally have the NCO position that he deserves. There are several schools that he is trying to get into for training. We will find out if he gets them in the next month or so. All of the soldiers are back from they're block leave, so now the training begins for the next deployment, even tho it is over a year away. It has been very hot here lately, lots of humidity, so we stay inside a lot. We got a badmitten set, so we go out to the backyard in the evenings to play that. Erik is getting better at it, and Andi is a natural. John and I play for 30-40 minutes each evening to get some "cardio" LOL. I will post some new pics soon.
