Well, can we just say that things here are beginning to melt, lol. It's been 115 the last few days, and it's just so dang HOT that no one wants to step outside. Including me, unless it's to go to the lake of course =). Mason and Maddie have only till the 16th of August, to enjoy this heatwave, then it's time for school to begin here in Lawton. We finally got the kids registered the other day, and we were thrilled to just get it over and done with, it being one more thing to check off. Madison is excited to begin her 4th grade, and thanks to having a friend already, she is looking forward to it more then Mason. Unfortunately, with their being NO boys near us, he isn't having fun this summer. I feel terribly sad for him, because I know what it's like moving around and trying to make new friends all the time. It's NOT easy by any means. He is missing his friends in Korea too. I wanted him to try the Youth center here, to make some friends, but what fun is it, walking into a place, not knowing anyone, and being like, "can i be your friend?" It stinks. So, I am praying that he will love his new school, Central Middle school, and while he's riding the bus from home, meet some awesome kids for him to become friends with and hang out. Then his lil world would be better at the moment. Until then, he's been keeping occupied with his game, and playing outback with Maddie and her friend on the trampoline. (with the water spraying on them in this heat) =(
We also added to our family!! We welcomed Jaxon (JAX) Deuces Hockenberry, a Great Dane puppy. Ever since 2009, I have been in contact with this breeder from Texas, and well, I originally tried to get a puppy from her in 2010, but she wouldn't ship them that far, which who could blame her right?? So, before leaving Korea, her Dane was having a litter and I got first pick since I have been waiting so long. And here he is... our lil Jax! I will say however, that I did NOT miss this puppy stage, as it is JUST like having a newborn all over again. Ugh, can we say NO sleep and lots of chasing around? Ha, but it will be all worth it in several months, maybe even a year...
Other then that, there isn't a whole lot new. We will be having a yard sale Saturday, to get rid of all our unnecessary stuff that we had stored in Washington, that we realize we don't need. Wish us luck, hoping to make the big bucks, lol. Love to all~
