Orion "Aqui" Happy!

Orion is talking more portuguese at home. He says "Aqui" to everything when he talks to us. He was sharing chips and dip with me today and wanted to give me a chip and says..."Aqui" it was cute, I'm finding it so neat to watch him grow and grow comfortable with the language. I asked him also where he put his 4 cars that he took to school all in Portuguese and he understood all that I said! It was neat! He nodes his head or says yes or "si"
We've been busy talking about moving details, there are alot of details that go into moving and this one maybe a little more complicated than last time since we are choosing to move ourselves home, talk of the car? and our belongings and when and where are are going to sell it all etc. It's exciting! It does take of alot of our time though. Kylor is excited to go to Mcdonalds playland when we get to Utah he told me that today he specifically wants to go to the one in Riverdale, UT he remembers going there. (kids have such simple pleasures) I like to keep it that way, if they are happy it will make me happy too!
Audrey took the three boys to the pool yesterday while Steve was at work. Ky and Orion did very good, Quinn slept part of the time in his stoller, The boys had a blast though showing off how they go can underwater with their goggles, "Hey, mommy watch this!" they would say then go underwater..I put Quinn in the shallows and he was wanting to take a dive..He's going to be a water bug too, he loves the bath tube so much!
I'm excited about going to Utah, to be around family for a little while! This up coming year will be hard, but we are looking forward to when it will be over, and we will be together again in Germany. It's gotta be better than those stinky deployments since we can talk more and no 15 min phone call limit (man that is the worst)..I never thought there would come a day when Korea wouldn't sound that bad. 5 yrs ago, I would have freaked out! I guess the military has a way of helping you grow and develop in new ways, and still have a good marriage and family life. It has it's ups and downs, but it also offers great opportunity to make Awesome memories and great friends that will last a life time. We are so greatful we moved to the Azores! It's something that will stay with us forever!
