Finally, A Blog!!

So, for a long time I have wanted to start blogging to help people keep up with life, and it wasn't until just this week I was convicted about how horribly I do long distance on keeping people updated about life! On that note, here we go!!
So, here are the main events from the last year in a nutshell:

May 08: Move to Germany
June 08:Move into a house, Find out we're expecting!!
July 08: Major Car Accident, Kayla can't walk
August 08: Kayla still can't walk
September 08: Find out some major medical things, prepare to send Kayla and Jacob to US for 6 months to get medical care and have new baby
October 08: Find out baby #2 is a boy! Kayla and Jacob head to the states
November 08: Find out Kayla's breathing problems are related to a hole in her heart, Kayla and Cubby head to Texas for Thanksgiving to see old friends, Aaron goes to friends for Thanksgiving in Germany (what, we have friends?!)
December 08: Jacob has birthday party! He's three now!
January 09: Pregnancy starting to make Kayla very sick, anticipation grows to have Joshua come and Aaron in the states for a bit
February 09: Aaron comes to states and Joshua arrives! Cubby is very happy to be a big brother! Sadly, this is also the month Aaron goes back to Germany!
March 09: Kayla gets heart procedure and finds a second hole in her heart, Kayla has major foot surgery to correct complications from car accident injuries. Kayla, the boys and Aaron start preparing for family returning to Germany!


And that brings us to this month! I'm getting my heart fixed on Friday the 10th, Joshua is growing like a weed, laughing and smiling and starting to be aware of toys, and Jacob can't stop talking about our return to Germany! Aaron has been cleaning the house like a mad man and on April 21st we'll be leaving the states to continue our adventure overseas!! Hopefully I'll be disciplined and keep this updated and post a lot of pictures! I'll add a few from the last few months

My boys!
