Kansas,Here We Are!!

The McKinney's have a new address! Yes, it is true we reside in Kansas now....a lucky stroke of fate has brought us together as a family (if only for a few months). Jeff will not deploy until Fall of 2010, so the boys and I were able to join Jeff at Fort Riley on Labor Day weekend. We are fortunate enough to be able to live in military housing here on the army base. The boys are enrolled in school; Wyatt at Fort Riley Middle School and Blayne and Aydan at Custer Hill Elementary (yes, the school was named after General Custer himself )! Kindergarten is all day here so I have been trying to unpack our household goods during the time school is in session. Jeff is pretty busy, as his Brigade is preparing to deploy....but the time we are able to spend with him is wonderful and irreplaceable. Bryce did stay in Cedar City with my folks and we miss her desperately, but understand the need she has to fulfill commitments she has there as she is now in high school. I do not know what we would do without such wonderful family and friends at home. Saydi the dog is with us and is now settling in here as well. If any one is passing through or would like to come and visit, please know that you are always welcome and we would love you to stay with us...we will show you around the area. I will write more about our escapades very soon. I also hope to find our camera so I can post photos as well!
