OUR FEET!!!
So we have big feet it runs in the family.

There isn't really much new happening here to report on. We have been doing the same things really. We did get to go to the pool for a while yesterday. The kids love to go when we can. Sarah is getting anxious for school to start soon. She is getting tired of playing with her brother. She is yearning for kids her own age to play with. I do feel bad for her. I know neither one of the kids have other kids to play with really. There is not many kids around and what kids there are don't come outside to play often and if they do they stay in the back yards. So there isn't much chance to meet them really. That is the one bad thing about living off base. There is a definite lack of neighbor hood bonding (not sure what else to call it). When we were on base everyone went outside and stood around and chatted and whatever. Here you don't see people much. You catch a glimpse of them running in hurry from house to car or car to house. No one stops to say hello. You might get a wave but all in all people seem to be in a hurry. I guess with not having job for quite some time now I have lost that in hurry to get going. I don't miss working expect for the meeting new people part. Albert and I have talked many many times about me getting a job. In the end we decided it best that I stay home for now even though we are having a bit of trouble financially. Well I guess not trouble are getting along ok we just don't have what we use to is all. There is a big difference between living on base and being a home owner. Anyway we are enjoying Louisiana on the whole. It is definitely much warmer here than anyplace we have lived before. We unfortunately don't even get cold enough weather for snow. But after having many many monthes each year in Alaska we are enjoying the heat for the most part. We have learned to do things outside either very early or very late in the day. When we do go out we usually don't stay out for long periods at a time no more than an hour because we get to hot. Little Albert especially he gets so hot and heated up so fast. I have to make sure he gets plenty of water because he doesn't know he needs to drink extra. All in all we like it here. The kids miss family but that's what happens when you are in the military I supose. Some we will live closer home until then we have this wonderful blog page. WE SEND OUR LOVE TO ALL OF YOU!!
