2 weeks and days to go!

Well, I sat down on the floor to upload some new pics and...now camera wire...huh? GuessI let them pack that!!! ARGH!
But on a bright note, we are packed out. I am sitting on the floor and there are only 2 weeks and days left here in Japan...
Cameron has started laughing and smiling. his first giggle was for Collin! Collin was thrilled!
Cam is now fatter and taller and full of bright eyed stares!
Collin is handling the empty house well. Carrie is trying desperately to organize a going away party for herself. And Kyle has burst into random tears 2 times in 2 days.

Kevin and I decided this move is going to be really hard on Ky. He doesnt remember living in the states. He was not yet 4 when we got here, so it is all he knows. Carrie is older, remembers more. Collin is too young to care yet...and Cam is happy as long as there is breast milk! :)

SO this move will be hard for Ky and we need to acknowledge it on some level for him...

WE are soooooo ready to get on that plane!
Cannot wait to see a Walmart, Target or real grocery store!

The packing begins!

Our first day of packing is done...and now we are preping for the weekend by picking the few select items that live here for the rest of the time ( about 2-3 weeks)...

Took a good idea from my dear friend Becky, and we are taking a wagon to the thrift store for dishes and toys to use. It is easier than borrowing from the base. It is just down the road and no need for a car. Also, we can take it all back any time of the day and put it back into the donations box! :)

Thanks Becky!

I am trecking along with 4 kids in tow. Glad I figured out the babywearing thing with the other 3, or I would never have a moment. Cam is always in a carrier and snuggled up on me. It frees me to take care of a high demand 2 1/2 yo, a 6 yo that thinks he is a skateboard star and a pre-teen 10 yo girl (hormonal???)!!! Wow...who would have ever thought I would be soooo crazy as to have 4 kids...peopel keep asking if we are done..cannot answer that just yet though...

We are house hunting on-line and narrowing down the search. We found a cute 4 bedroom and 3 bath and then realized it would never be big enough without a basement or finished room over garage (FROG)...so we had to laugh at the idea that a 2 story 4 bed room house was too smalllll!!!!! LOL

Here are a few pics of my beautiful babies with the now GONE Cherry Blossoms.....

Cam is 6 weeks old!!!
