Here We Go Again...Or There We Went

It's that time of year again...back to school.  I still can't believe all four kids are in school now.   And to make things even more exciting, we are moving.  We got an assignment to Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. Yep, back to Texas!  Unfortunately, our departure date landed just a couple weeks after the start of school. We decided to let the kids start school anyway, though. So here's the first day pictures:

We left Turkey early on the morning of September 17th and arrived in San Antonio on the 19th.  It was crazy, and we had to have a mini birthday celebration enroute, but we made it.  After hanging out for a week in a one-bedroom TLF room, we decided to enroll the kids in the school on base.  They needed to get back into the swing of things and Ben and I needed to do some house-hunting since they didn't have anything for us on base.  We thought that it would take a while to find a house.
As it turns out, we found a house very quickly and the sellers were willing to let us move in right away. So...the kids went to school on base for exactly ONE WEEK!  Even more crazy...in the matter of one month they were enrolled in three different schools.  It was rough, but they seem to be all settled now. The elementary school in our neighborhood is great. Lizzy's school is big, but she seems to be doing really well.

Things are finally starting to settle down.  We are closing on the house tomorrow. Yay!!!  Now if our stuff would just hurry up and get here!  Air mattresses and camp chairs get old after a few weeks.
