Wow.
Almost a full year this time with no blog post. Does anyone still check this blog? I thought it had been a few months or so, but last March! I say this all the time, but this year I will be better. You'll find out why soon.
First I've selected a few bests of 2010 pictures:
That pretty much sums it up. I'm not going to dwell on it - out with the old, in with the new kind of thing.
We didn't end up going to Ft. Bragg, instead we are at Ft. Lewis, Washington. Our orders were changed a few weeks before the move which created a lot of havoc, but we made it.
The big news for this year... Denver is deploying to Afghanistan for 12 months. We're not sure when yet; it will be either April, May, or June. But we know for sure it's happening. We have about a million things to take care of between now and then and no time to do it. So, I'm procrastinating by blogging, hehehehehehehe.
Remember last July when I blogged like 3 times? It's because Denver was gone, and when he's gone I have a lot of free time, which is why I think I will be a better blogger this year. I would rather he were just here taking up all my time, but at least we have modern technology. I'm happy I don't have to send him a telegram to communicate. Or go 6 months with no communication. He will (hopefully) have internet access so we should be able to keep in touch pretty well. I honestly miss the bootcamp days a little bit - the days of handwritten letters. Those were fun.
So it looks like the kids and I are headed back to home-sweet-home-Boise-Idaho. I'm happy we'll be close to family, and beyond grateful to get out of the constant rain and lack of sunlight. I understand why the vampires all hang out in this state, there really is no sun.
Libby is in pre-kindergarten and starts real-kindergarten this next fall. We are trying to get her into an arts magnet school. It focuses on drama, music, and art, while still covering the basic math and science concepts. I think this is right up her ally, because she is just slightly dramatic and likes art a tiny little bit.
Mikaela has fully incorporated the terrible-two temperament. She can be the cutest little girl in the world, very loving, sweet, and cuddly, and two seconds later the demons come out and we are throwing holy water on the child. Is it possible for two-year-olds to be bi-polar? Just asking.
And last but not least, we added #3 to our family on November 24, making us a party of five. It also ended our all-girl running streak, that's right, Denver got his son. Jefferson Dante Lee is now two months old and trying to catch up with his sisters, he's already at 14 pounds. He looks just like his Daddy, but he is a momma's boy. And I love my little man.
That's all for this Lee family for now.
