Just some pics I took of The kids on my side of the Family

 I took over 600 pictures and of course edited. These are just a few..

Summer in Mississippi

The kids and I went back home for the first time since Summer of 2009.  We had soo much fun visiting with Family and friends.  It was hot but I am here to tell you Mississippi-ans that the heat is nothing like Okinawa!  It was actually a nice brake for us!  Hot but ok!  Anyway, we got to visit with Lindsay, Tyler and Amy.  First we went to The Jim Hensen Museum in Leland.  All these years it was our first! 


Paige and I had not seen each other in about 9 years!!



Finally learned how to ride it!

First time at Jim Hensen Museum

 





She ate markers!



The move from Japan to Cali...

It sure has been a long time since I have blogged.  Moving from Japan was all but fun!  Our first flight was not that bad only 2 hours, however Madalyn would not stop acting up.  I also felt a huge headache coming on, so when we arrived in mainland I went for some meds but my husband took that small bag out of the carry on and put it with our checked luggage.  SOOOO, I was without meds for 2 days.  The looooong flight from Mainland Japan to LAX was miserable.  I was sick with a migraine and was running back and forth to the restroom.  I am sure people thought I was air sick.  haha!  I had to wait until we went through customs before I could get to my meds.  Madalyn was pretty good on that flight though most of the time she was asleep in Douglas' arms!  I was so happy to have all the flying behind us.  Our next step was to spend a few weeks with The Morales side of the family and of course house hunt.  NOT FUN!!!!!!!
