Moving

It has finally hit me that we are moving....I mean really moving. We are selling items that won't make the trip and are getting the house ready for the packers. We have decided to sell the yard toys and pick new ones up in the states. This is when it hit me we are moving and all the memories we have made here have been filling my mind. Meghan was 4 when we arrived in the UK and Jenna was 3. We weren't even thinking about having any more babies when we moved here......we are leaving the UK with a 7, 6 and 6 month old. Meghan has been to three schools, starting with the Busy Bees preschool, moving up to reception at Beck Row primary and then moving up/on to Lakenheath Elementary school on the base. Jenna started at Busy Bees and spent the first two years of school there and then she moved up to Lakenheath Elementary school this year. Both big girls have learned how to swim. Jenna has learned how to swing and ride a two wheel bike.
We have seen so many cool castles and places since living over here. We spent our first summer without Rob since he was deployed. The big girls and I took a military hop to the states that summer and were able to see my family and enjoy some warm weather. We were not able to travel to see Rob's family, but we were thankful that the military offers free travel to and from the states.
Rob and I decided to pick some countries we wanted to see and we have been able to travel to all of them. We would have enjoyed some more traveling but we have been pleased with where we have gone and what we have seen. We have been able to travel to Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Belgium, Germany, (drove through France) and have been all over England.
We decided to have another baby and welcomed Sarah into the family December 23, 2009 and are so blessed to have three healthy happy girls. My pregnancy and having a new baby has slowed us down a little, but we all are having a blast with a baby in the house again.
Every move we make is starting a new chapter in our lives and I have to say this was an awesome chapter.
We have thousands of pictures and memories that will last a lifetime!
