Mom just got back from grandmas and said she and Aunt Lana discussed having someone go in and clean their house while they are in St. Louis for Thanksgiving. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to chip in to hire a company for that. Let me know what you think!

Kimbel updates

Jamie and Carrie are home from vacation. They had a great time laying on the beach and swimming. They only had one rainy day. Julia's doc. appt. are this Wed. and fri. They are still not to worried, so I won't worry! Hannah is beginning to talk. She says, "were's Julia?" She can't say Ashley yet.
Ryan and Cheri have signed the papers for a 4 bedroom house on post in the Commance II Village. It will be ready in about a week. They have now moved out of the motel to on post lodging until their house is ready. Much bigger for the 5 of them. The dogs or in a kennel. We are looking forward to go to texas in November for Thanksgiving. They cannot get the boys back into school until they have an"address". Each village has their own schools.

Update on Kimbel's

Ryan and Cheri arrived in Fort Hood, Texas on Thursday, Oct. 2nd. They are staying in a motel. They have put their name on a list for housing, but they are told it will be 3 to 4 months. So they are going to look for an apartment for the mean time. The motel is eating them alive in cost. Ryan has a buddy that arrived a few weeks before them. They have an apartment, and Ryan and Cheri has been able to spend time with them. Plus they have a pool at the complex. They were able to do their laundry there yesterday.
I spoke too Jamie yesterday. They left for Gulf Shore this morning for 5 nights. The girls are on fall break. Julia had a Doctors appt. this week after having a fever for a few day. The pediatrian discover a unusual heart beat. Possibly a mermer. She will see a cardioaligist when they get home from vacation. Also she is only see out of her left eye Her left eye is doing all the work. It's not from poor eyes, they are thinking maybe something with the brain that is causing her vision to be impaired. Then...she failed her hearing test. So after they get back she will be going through a lot of test. Jamie and Carrie are not overly worried. They just need to get things checked out for their piece of mind.
Just keep both of the boys in your prayer.

Disney...again.

So we just found out this week that the girls will be competing in Orlando next July. First of all it's the weekend of the 4th of July, can we say OMG Florida HEAT! Secondly, 4th of July...holiday...CRAZY! Thirdly, we were just there this past May and made a big hoopla because we thought we wouldn't be back for some time...AND if you will remember the best thing for them was the POOL! Needless to say I don't think we will hit Magic Kingdom again...way too expensive for the small amount of fun the girls had.
