And it starts...

Our realtor came over tonight. Papers are signed, pictures are taken, a sign is up in the front yard. It's official, we're putting the house on the market.

We've learned a great deal during this experience. Enough to know we're not up for it again any time soon.

But for now, I wonder how long I'll be able to maintain keeping EVERYTHING as clean as possible. Justin is on board for helping out, but Kaden just knows how to make a mess. *laugh*

Best case scenario - the first people to walk in the door love it, offer full price, and don't want to close for another two or three months. Here's hopin'...

In other news...

Justin's latest big news: he lost his first tooth! And he's also grown about an inch and a half since November. I'm hoping we're done with cooler weather, as his pants are getting mighty short.

Kaden's latest big news: he loves green beans! *laugh* He's really improving his table food skills. And he's cruisinig the furniture like a pro. Still not at the point where he can let go yet, but I'm totally okay with that!

In typical army fashion...

The army took longer than we thought to decide where we're going next. Turns out that Darrell was on assignment to two priority missions at the same time and a general somewhere had to choose which one took precedence over the other. Crazy.

In the end, we're headed back where we just came from, Fort Riley. There are the normal pros and cons of any assignment, but we'll try to focus on the pros as usual.

So now we try to sell the house. We're meeting with the realtor on Thursday to take pictures and get it listed. Here's hoping it sells quickly, but not TOO quickly. While we're not sure when we'll be moving, we DO know it won't be until late summer.

I stand corrected...

Kaden is now working on tooth #8. And having four move in at the same time must be working a number on his system. He's vomited twice today. Otherwise, he seems just fine, and I'm feeding him the same stuff he always eats. Hopefully his belly settles down tomorrow. I'm totally out of sick and regular leave.

Well, I wish that was truly the case. I'm not just OUT of sick leave, I'm still over 150 hours in the hole. I took advance sick leave as my maternity leave. I should get done earning it back sometime next summer. Yikes.

Ah, the little one calls. Must be off...

Major news to come in a week or so

We may have some final news on Darrell's next assignment by next Friday. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions so far. And if it ends up like it appears, there's a bit of good along with the not-so-good. *sigh*

In other news...

Kaden is working on tooth #6. He's also learned how to pull up on anything and everything; he's able to cruise a step or two, so walking won't be too far away.

I start my 'new' job on 2 April. It's not a promotion, but at least it's something new.

What else...

My best friend had her baby on the 20th! Twelve hours later, her husband's flight landed at Kansas City. Bummer. All the way from Iraq and just missed it. The boys and I are leaving in two weeks to visit. I'm excited!!

Kaden!

Kaden plays with the toy bar from his bouncy chair. ETA: Ok, Google's schmancy video insert deal isn't working (as usual). Here's the link.

I like this one.

New job. Same pay.

One of my co-workers got a promotion. I asked the boss if I could move to her position. It's a lateral move, but will give me more experience.

Plus, I'm NEEDING a change. I've been here for a year (almost) and doing the same thing every day gets very tedious. I'm looking forward to a different kind of tedious, at least until I manage to get MYSELF a promotion...

Happy Pi Day.

I love this picture. Isn't he cute?? :)

Notice his new TEETH?!?! The top two are just barely sticking out. Just enough to bite me on the arm. Lovely.
