Let the fun Begin

We have the news about when Gregg will be leaving for basic training, November 18. It all feels a little more real now that we know when he's leaving. Currently we are working as a family to get all of the big projects done (like finishing the fence around the house) before Gregg takes off. MaKayla and Brenix have no idea, of course, about whats going to happen, but Gregg and I are currently working on things for the kids so it won't be that big of a shock when he's gone. I think Gregg feels pretty silly reading story's and talking to a video camera, but we're hoping he's discomfort now will prevent tears from MaKayla later.

MaKayla Started school two weeks ago and should not be any happier. Her teacher says that Mak is following school rules really well, is playing well with the other kids, and is doing most of the work that is put before her. A great improvement from last year. MaKayla is always more happy when she is in school, and is always more than happy to show off her drawings and paintings to anyone who comes to see us.

Brenix has now past off all of his goals in physical theripy. A year ago all the doctors were scared that he would never be able to crawl let alone walk. And now Brenix is running circles around MaKayla. If nothing else, Brenix is sure proof in this world and miricals still happen.

Life is good!

It's official, we are now blogging and trying to keep everyone posted on what's happening with us. And rest assured that since I (Kayla) am doing it, there will be tons of mistakes, misspellings, and generally crewed up info on here. So just chalk it up to part of the experience.

Gregg (my husband) and i have 2 kids. Alma MaKayla (age3) and Brenix Carson (18 months). They are amazing kids that generally give me a run for my money. MaKayla is and extreme extrovert that is curious about everything. She will start pre-school next Monday and can hardly wait. Brenix had a hard start in life, but he isn't letting that slow him down. He mastered the art of walking about 2 weeks ago, and is making up lost time for getting into things he knows he shouldn't. Together they are a handful, but we love them all the more for it.

Gregg has enlisted in the Air National Guard, and will be leaving us soon for Basic Training and Tec School. I know what your thinking "ARE YOU NUTS!". No we aren't. Gregg has been struggling to find a decent paying job that will support our family for the past year and a half, and nothing has come up. I am proud of him for doing the Air Guard, it shows that he will do what ever it takes to take care of us, and i couldn't be more grateful. So anyway, Gregg is training hard, and is enjoying life a lot more now that he has a plan for himself.

As for me, I'm a stay at home mom that dabbles in music once and a while when people need me in different groups. Life is good in Twin Falls, even better now that winters coming. I'll keeping trying to post stuff here, hope I'm better at this then email.
