Unplanned break

I have taken a very long and unplanned break from the blogging world on behalf of motherhood.  As you know from one of my posts I had a baby boy in April.  I'll try to give you a brief summery of life since then.  The kiddos and I lived with my parents after the baby came.  My honey lived in Virginia while working in D.C.  In May he decided that he disliked being away from us so much that he quit his job and drove a 26' moving van across country.  We moved out of my parents place into an apartment in Logan.  We spent the summer doing T-ball, swimming lessons, and trying to get funding for Les to go back to school to get his Master's degree.  Emma started Kindergarten in August ( I am so proud of her).  Around that time Les started a job in Orem, UT.  He spent the first 5 weeks training.  He would go down for the week and come home on the weekends.  Then he moved onto a night schedule to see what he would be dealing with when he started his schedule.  Khloe started preschool in September.  Around then Emma and Khloe started soccer with Les as their coach.  Samantha requested that since she doesn't get to be in school that I be her teacher.  She has started to write her letters and to learn their sounds.  She can count to 20 and recognize some of her numbers.  Jacob has reached many milestones.  The most recent is that he is now 6 months old.  He can sit and when he wants to he can roll over.  He much prefers to stand (could be because I do most of the work) and loves to laugh.
Currently, we are looking for a place to live closer to Les' work.  Until then I drive kids to and from school, help with homework, volunteering in the classroom, being mom full time, and so much more.
