M.I.A.

...which stands for Missing In Action,
and it is so true.
So, we have moved here to the Gila Valley with my grandma for the summer, then we were going to move to Pinetop when school started and we would lived there for the rest of our lives (at least that was the plan...)and then we decided we would stay and buy her home, that was already up for sale. Well, that was our second plan, and it was good for about 2 weeks. Then my grandma changed her mind and decided she was going to go on a mission and that is when plan #3 started...we could rent it from her for 2 years, and then upon her return, we could negotiate terms then and buy the home from her then. But, then she decided she didn't want to go on a mission, so now we are onto plan #4, which is, we are just living with her until one of us decides what we are going to do. Great plan huh!! But in the mean time, the girls have started school as Thatcher Eagles and are loving it. Saydee has her cousin in school with her, and Kyla is so happy because she has gained a new friend who moved here at the same time she did. Dave and I both volunteer in our girls classrooms. I teach Art for both girls, and Dave teaches P.E. for both girls. It actually works out really great. I am also the new classroom mom in one of the rooms.
As for life outside of school, Dave is working his XPose LLC. company, which is a Search Engine Optimization company that also does Web Master Services, and I am expecting Baby #4, and we are all really excited for a new baby. Of course, I am completely terrified, because we had the one miscarriage 4 years ago, and then the still born 1.5 years ago. So I really work on staying hopeful and positive, but I am scared to death that the Dr. is going to tell me the heart has stopped beating and we will have another unborn baby. Terrible thought I know, but I am being honest here...the thought does go through my brain often. I am 15 weeks now and get to see the Dr. for the first time next week. We are due on Leap Year(Feb. 29th) of 2012, but I was really hoping for a March baby, so if everything works out, we will deliver a little late! (I know, it sounds crazy because everyone else wants to go early)
My sister is also pregnant and is 18 weeks pregnant and after having 4 girls, she too is hoping for a healthy baby, but a boy would be great.
Anyways, this post is really just a quick recap of life right now, and in the next week or so, I will do a few more posts of specific events that have been happening with our little family! Hope this finds you all and well!
