Losing Ava and Ethan?

The Fall leaves are so beautiful here! It's so nice to be surrounded by so much color; what a contrast to Turkey's landscape. The kids love running through the leaves at the park.

At the Park

TRYING NOT TO LOSE OUR MINDS!

After living out of suitcases for a record 38 days and still going: we keep hoping Ethan and Ava will sleep better in their shared king size bed (which they think is a trampoline), praying William isn't getting used to sleeping in mommy and daddy's room, and dreaming that the park is right next to the German house we're staying in.

The trouble with having a 3 year old, a 2 year old, and a 7 month old is you wear out very easily! Add a move to Germany and mono, and I'm not sure there's a word to describe my exhaustion! Most of the time going to the park helps get all their energy out. The other trouble is Ethan and Ava enjoy the swings so much, Jason and I are the ones left exhausted and ready for a nap. We can't wait until we move to our house! It will be so nice to have our own beds, all the kids toys, and everyone will have their own room. Our move in date has been pushed back to November 4th.

DON'T LOSE YOUR MILK!

William loves to gently swing. I guess Jason was caught up in our conversation that he forgot which of his three children he was pushing at the time. William got a little momentum, a big smile, and we thought he was going to lose his milk! I wish I would've caught it on video, you'll have to settle for this shot of William swinging at a more reasonable speed.

FINALLY

FINALLY, the blogging begins! After much going on in our lives, things have slowed down enough for me to keep up with this, hopefully.
