The McKinney Family

Jeff will leave for training with the Army on the 25th of February. I have mixed feelings about him re-entering the service full time. I am looking forward to him working full time and keeping busy, for his own peace of mind. I will certainly be glad to be able to watch what I want if I have time to watch TV...but, "dang it" we will miss him! It has taken a year but, he is a pretty good house keeper (he does not clean all the time, but is very good at influencing the kids to keep things tidy). I will also miss being able to go for a walk or ride in the car with him at our leisure. We sure have had to adjust financially this past year but we have grown together so much that those blessings outweigh being poor. We have enjoyed playing board games and cards with the family, having long discussions about life and everyones biggest concerns (from Aydan-worries about what to take for sharing to Bryce- wondering what elective classes to take in High School next year)! I will have to get back on a strict schedule in terms of getting everyone to their scheduled events and also make sure that we have a bathroom schedule again (if not, Bryce will bathe 4 times a day and the boys won't bathe at all)! What happened to the days when I could throw them all into the tub at the same time??? I will cease rambling and post more in the future.
