We are finally in our new home!

Whew!  It's been awhile since I was on here promising myself that I would blog more!  It has been a whirlwind couple of months.  We moved out of our home in Newport, Rhode Island in January and moved into a vacation rental on the island for a month.  Talk about crazy!  We've been really unschooling this year, but we've been doing LOTS of life learning, family building and field trips(such as the Pequot Museum in Connecticut and a trip to Boston.  We then drove down to my in-laws in VA.  We visited Mt. Vernon, the home of George and Martha Washington, while we were there.  We then drove on to Lexington, KY for a night and then stayed with dear friends and had a short reunion with old army friends in Illinois near Scott Air Force Base.  It was fun to see our kids reconnect after not seeing each other for 5 years!  Then it was on to Kansas and then the long, boring drive from there to Colorado Springs.  We are now in our new home!  Yeah!  We feel so blessed to be assigned to this beautiful community.  I'm sure the next 2 years will fly!  I can't believe that I get to wake up every morning to look at Pike's Peak.  God is awesome!
