Long time...No blog....ONE YEAR LATER!!

SO! Been awhile, huh? Sorry to anyone out there who actually follows our blog. With the craziness of life, it's sort of taken a backseat over the past months...well more like Year!Gosh, last time we updated this thing Kyndal was 6 months ol
d. She's now almost TWO!! Hard to believe. She's a walking, talking bundle of joy...and attitude! : ) She's definitely little miss personality to say the least. Here is a picture taken of her 4th of July weekend just for starters.
It would be impossible to fill in all the details since the last time we posted on here, so we'll just start from scratch. Or at least the "adventures" of 2011 so far.
The beginning of the year wasn't very eventful, not that I can
remember at least. We moved in to a new house in March due to renovations being don
e to the buildings we were living beside of.
We love the new house that we're in now. The day before we moved is when the big earthquake and tsunami hit mainland Japan but we were very blessed not to have any sort of danger our way. We know everyone was concerned for us during that time and appreciate the thoughts and prayers.
Spring was pretty uneventful, just hanging out around Japan. This picture was taken at American Village here. Despite the name, it's really not that "American".
Easter was fun as Kyndal participated in her first Easter egg hunt. She only got
a couple of eggs though. Too many kids, and not enough eggs. It was sometime in April we found out that Ken would be going to school in Georgia again for 2 weeks so a last minute decision resulted in a trip back to the states for us all. We all got to spend Mother's Day weekend together while Ken was in Tennessee then he left the next weekend to head back to Japan. Kyndal and I stayed for a few more weeks and came back beginning of June. A canceled flight in Washington, night in a hotel and a 17 hour flight with a toddler, alone wasn't exactly a cup of tea but we made it home safely and enjoyed our visit to the states.
Which pretty much brings us to now. Summer is going pretty good so far, even though it's HOT!! Kyndal doesn't mind though, she could spend all day splashing and playing in the water.
Other than that, not much else has been going on with us. Ken got promoted to Staff Sergeant this week so we're happy about that. But we will TRY to keep this thing better updated for anyone who might still stumble upon it from time to time. Hopefully Kyndal won't be turning four the next time we type a blog. : )
