Kinda crazy but it has been 8 weeks since we left our home in Idaho. Not gonna lie, but we are all getting a bit home sick. Missing all our wonderful family and friends. I can't even tell you how wonderful it is to have our daddy back. Courtlynn really struggled when Danny was in training, and finally she is a happy girl. Well for the most part, she really misses her grandma's, grandpa's, aunt's, uncle's, cousins and friends. We try and stay busy and do lot's of fun things. Courtlynn's favorite thing to do is going to the beach. She says it is one big swimming pool. She is always begging to go, so we try and go quite often. Court's new thing is her dance class. She loves to dance!!! It is a mixture of ballet, tap and gymnastics. Her favorite part is the ballet. Right now there is a summer break, so no dance for two months. It is driving Courtlynn crazy, she really wants to go. So we turn up the music @ home, and shake our booty's. Her new thing is coloring pretty pictures on everywhere but paper. LOL, what a funny little girl! I have found it on the walls, in the tub, on her shoes. I have hid anything that you can write, or color with. How can you get mad @ such beautiful pictures. When it is not to hot outside, we go play on the toys and go to the pool. Courtlynn is loving being a big sister. I was worried @ first that Courtlynn and Kaydrie would be to far apart and not get along. But the wonderful thing is that they are the best of buds. They talk, play and giggle with each other. I love it! Kaydrie is getting quite the personality, she is the happiest baby 99% of the time, and then the Settles comes out, Bahahaha. @ first she hated her baths, but now she loves them. For the most part she still only wakes up once in the night to eat, and then goes back to bed. And she loves her naps. Kaydrie always wakes up happy. She is so much fun to play with, she fits right in with all our crazziness. Danny is working very hard, couldn't be more proud of him and all of his accomplishments. He has the 2nd highest grade in his class, always getting 95% to 100% on his tests. Monday though Friday he heads to school @ 4:30am and doesn't get home til 5pm or 6pm. He has some long days, but he still comes home and we have a blast as a family. Our little girls adore him! They love to play with there daddy. We are back to playing hide and seek, and all kinds of fun things. A lot of things have changed for the better. We have a wonderful life, and are oh so happy. You never know when you will lose the ones you love, so always cherish every minute!
