Wow! I can't believe it's been almost 6 weeks since my last update. I'll just do a bulleted list and try to be better in the future.

Helen with Diamond Head in BackgroundHelen with Diamond Head in BackgroundWe're finally off the ROK! Yeah!

We are celebrating with a relaxing beach vacation in Like my hat?Like my hat?Hawaii and are really having a great time. Emma especially loves the beach. Jack has learned how to use his snorkel. Robert's working on his tan. And, I'm just happy to be here.

For those of you with no need to know about military life in Korea....we don't get pennies. They don't ship them here. All pennies here are brought in our pockets when we come.

During my 2 years (AND ONE MONTH!) in Korea, I made a point to collect all the pennies I was given. I just counted them: 43! That's it for 2 years (AND ONE MONTH!).

Makes me wonder if I came out ahead or behind.

Moving day has arrived. Right now I'm sitting here with two small children and 6 movers packing everything they see. Some of which is not supposed to be packed, of course. Only a few more days left here. If we can just get through this one, I'll be happy.

More soon!

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine, Christa, (who is a fabulous photographer) took some photos of us at a park in town. She got some really nice ones, especially of the kids. Here are a few.
