Summer time for miltary families brings many changes. For some it is saying goodbye to friends and for others it is facing the challenge of another move and all the details that come with that. This seems to be a big moving summer. We will say goodbye to many friends and soon ourselves be the ones packing again.
Moving from state to state is so easy now after living overseas. Trying to make local planscfrom the other side of the world is always fun. Thankfully our God always provides and works out the details.
We are also entering a season of iuncredible heat and that brings its own challenges. Mosquitos from the jungle that eat you up. Cicadas that sing a glrious song and humidity that can moisten the dryest of skin:)
We face many challenges this summer as we prepare to move. Our dog is 15 1/2 years old and each day is a blessing to have her. Will she live 5 1/2 more months? Will she be able to fly back 1/2 way around the world? These are all things we think of and talk about and have to trust and wait. All in God's timing.
Samantha and I are preparing for a missions trip to the Philippines. We will visit Gentle Hands orphanage for 8 days. I know God will use this time to grow us, stretch us and mold us.
We also plan to hike Mt. Fuji in Late July. This is a family goal with the older kiddos. Excited for all these adventures and looking forward to what they bring.
Birthday wishes to our 2 May kiddos - and praying for many more blessed years with them...
RV LIFE.........Living...Loving...Laughing...

Last Time around..
We are beginning what should be our last "long separation". Jason will be heading out this weekend for three months. We are geared up and ready to take these 3 months head on. We are grateful for the past year God has given us.
We faced 2 major deployments last year. The first one had Jason heading out to Iraq in May 2010 for a year long deployment- by GOD's hand these orders were cancelled and we faced the year with confidence that God's protection was over us. Fall came and so did more orders another year long deployment , this time to the Philippine's. Again, the Lord was with us. These orders were also cancelled just weeks out. We again give all glory and praise to God. We fall before the one true living God and continue to daily pray for His protection and provision. This 3 month "deployment" has been a blessing and a covering of sorts. This has kept Jason from a 3rd tasking that was to come with the New Year. We now wait as Jason prepares to leave and His retirement paperwork slowly makes its way through the proper channels. We will seek the Lord and His will for our family and wait to see what He has for us.
Our desire is to serve the Lord in whatever capacity He has for us. We wait and pray for direction and open doors. It will be another adventure in the coming months to see where we will end up and what we will be doing. Thank you God for keeping our family together!!!!

Cleaning House
It is time to dust out this site. I started a few weeks back and tonight I am attempting to clean and update a bit more. Life has been very busy and to be honest I fogot about my blog for awhile. I appreciate the opportunity to share and write but I do not often have the time to keep up with my extra hobbies.
Life in Okinawa is never dull and life with our 5 blessings is never dull. We are still homeschooling and loving every minute of it. The kids have all reached new stages and that is what keeps us going. They like to change as soon as you get a routine. I guess that is what happens when you feed and water them. Their spiritual growth seems to match their physical growth. We are so grateful for the opportunity to train them at home and watch CHrist take hold of their young, bold hearts!!
Praise God for his blessings. I am sure the coming months will bring adventure- as they always do....

12 September 2009
It has been a long few months and a very sick pregnancy!! Our family has adapted and we are seeeing a light at the end of the tunnel. We have endured many days of sickness and medical trips that ended in good news. We rejoice that our son is healthy and growing well. I have had more ultrasounds than anyone could imagine. But we know God has a plan for this boy and we can't wait to meet him.
I now know why Sarah laughed when God said she would concieve a son. The older we get it definately gets harder. With God's help we have continued homeschooling and activities. He has given me enough strength and endurance just when I need it. I have finally stopped getting sick, I now just deal with normal pregnancy stuff. Thank you God!!!
We have started our school year and it is really going well. Samantha has taken on the 5th grade with no hesitation. She is a blesing in school and in our home. She is growing into a wonderful young woman of God. She is an excellent cook, a wonderful big sister and she loves the Lord very much. God has shaped her heart into something wonderful.
Taylor is still our sweet snuggler. She has begun the 3rd grade and has matured so much this year. I can see her growing spiritually each day. She is taking on more responsiblity and is a willing helper in our home. I praise God for her. She endures with her allergies and we thank God for her.
Katie girl, she is doing small bits of school. She has learned to write her name and does it proudly and many times over!! Her permanship is actually quite amazing for her age. She is enjoying learning her letters and being a kid!! She loves her baby brother (who is about her size) and is definatley Mommas girl!! Katie is quite silly, very independent and has a vocabulary that amazes us. She is silent to those she does not know. But if she allows you in, wow what a treat!!
Bub aka Zachary, the other day at our homeschool co-op, Bub went up and turned off a video and all the little kids yelled BUB!!! I just laughed, I am not sure how many people know his name is Zach... He is a baby in a boys body. He is now almost 16 mts. weighs close to 30lbs and eats like a 10 year old. The best part of Bub is his smile. He can make you laugh even when you shouldn't be laughing... That is the hardest part. He loves to be loved and hugged. He is super friendly and waves to everyone, even if their not looking. He loves to run, play and climb. But as I am learning , this climbing thing seems to be common in boys. When I ask him where our baby is, he lifts the edge of my shirt and sticks his finger in my belly button. I think that is the sign he is going to be a great big brother!!
Ahhhh, Jason.... Work is good, he is not deployed and we are thankful. We watch husbands come and go over here and we praise God for keeping our family together. He has been faithful in getting our family to enjoy Okinawa- snorkeling, surfing and sailing. He is actually out with the girls rite now, sailing up at Orawon(?). His job is good and allows great family time. He is still enjoying the surf here and waiting on his new surf board....
Well, off to make the most of our quiet home. Baby counter.....99 days and counting.....

Japanese Tea Ceremony
In no particular order- The girls Japanese Teacher Naomi was kind enough to invite everyone to attend her daughters Tea Ceremony from her school. This was a great opportunity. Usually the kids would not be able to attend a real Tea Ceremony (to young) so when she opened this up we jumped at the chance. We went through 3 stages. The first and last were in open rooms and we were served ion our seats. The second ceremony was in atraditional room. Kneeling for that long is an art in itself. The Americans were all aching when it was time to get up!! The Tea was nothing like I have ever tasted before. The kids could barely get it down it was very earthy and strong like penzoil. I was ok until the 4th cup! That kind of put me over the endge. Little headache , lite headed, no joke it's that strong. ANyways we had a blast. Oh Yah, Katie was a hit in her kimono, all the japanese girls would giggle went she walked by!
