So here is the short version of the story....Brad had some contacts over in Dubai, U.A.E. that had plans of starting work over there. So in January, Brad made the 24 hr trip to Dubai. He was there for 3 or 4 weeks (I can't even remember now how long he was there) and nothing was happening in the work department so he decide to come home. That is really a condensed version of the story.
Now we are back in Missouri where we are around our family and we are so happy about that. So now I'll bring you up to date. Brooklyn is in Kindergarten this year and is doing very well, she turned six back in October. She is in Awanas and Mimes at church. She loves being a big sister and is very helpful. Gabe is in preschool and turned 4 in January. He loves playing ball and all he wants to eat is pizza! Ryder is 7 months and still does not sleep all night long. He is happy all of the time but is scared of loud noises.
This summer I'm going back to school to take some classes and hopefully start nursing school in June 2010. I have already taken the college placement test and did suprisingly well for having graduated college 8 years ago. All I need to take now is Human Anatomy to be accepted into the program. Also this summer I'm going to be helping my dad with his greenhouse and hopefully making some money to pay for college!
So until next time, here are a few of Ryder's 7 month pictures that I took.
