We are home and settled in pretty well.  Johnnie has a job as an Assitant Bank Manager.  He has to go away to New Jersey for the month of September.  The civilians have a tendency to underestimate retired military.  It will just take a little time for John to show them that.  The bank has opportunities for advancement and we hope to see that happen. 

 

Ethan is playing football and Morgan is cheerleading.  She was shocked to find out from Daddy that Mommy is an anti-cheerleader.  Guess who is her coach?  ME!  What I won't do for my kids would fit under my fingernail.  We found a homeschool group to join with co-op classes once a week.  We will be starting school in a week or two. 

 

Our house is a work in progress on 4.25 acres backing up to a mountain.  The kids and the dogs love it.  John bought himself a lab for his birthday.  His name is Rufio.  So for everyone who is counting, we have three dogs and a bird, oh, and two ferel cats that live in the carport. 

 

We are slowly fixing the three-bedroom house up.  The garage has a loft and we are fixing that up as a bonus room.  The carport will eventually be enclosed giving us a four car garage.  I don't have after pics yet, but I will post some befores for you to get the idea.
