We are here!!! FINALLY!!!
First off, I have to say that my boys are truly amazing! We had 2 1/2 hr flight to Minneapolis and then a 9 hr flight to Honolulu. They were great. Parker got a little restless once, but he didn't even cry. He just got a little fussy. Blake and Hunter were fabulous. They watched movies and played games the whole flight.
We arrived a little after 5pm Saturday. Day light was very short. We went to eat dinner with friends of Ben. Very sweet family...I think we will be getting along very well :)
Unfortunately today it rained ALL day!!! Flash flood warnings even!!! We still managed to get out and drive around some neighborhood though. We were able to cross out and circle a few. :) I was really hoping to get into military housing. We even (thought we) put our name on the list back in August. BUT...it didn't do CRAP! So the waiting list is 6-12 months!!! Not sure we can manage a 1 bedroom hotel room for that long. It is really nice but only has a mini fridge and a 2 burner stove top. Did I mention that I LOVE to cook?!?!? I can't even make Parker's baby food :( So I think we are going to find a temporary home.
Our biggest concern is Blake. He has had to move schools too much in such a short time already. We really don't want to make him change more than he has to. I am really considering home schooling him until fall. It would keep him from having to change 2 more times! I would LOVE some input on this!!!
I HAVE to find a Christmas tree and figure out how to make a Christmas dinner without an oven!!! I'll let you know how all of that goes.
As far as Hawaii goes...it really is beautiful! Some parts are better than others. I will post pictures as soon as the rain stops and I can take some!!
I do think that you should home school him for the remainder of this year which will allow time to adjust and to find a home. I am so glad you are all together as a family again and cannot wait to see pictures! We love you all so much!
