Waiting...

It seems like we have been doing a lot of waiting lately.  I was waiting for Kay to turn 2.5 so she could start school, waiting for Raigan's passport and social securtiy card to come in the mail so we could get the paperwork started to get space-A back to the states in May, waiting for Kay to be day time potty trained...Now we've got all those things! NOW we 're just waiting for nice weather, our trip to the states, and for everyone to get over this horrible cold/flu virus. 
Poor KayLeigh has only been able to go to school 3 times since she started, between Mat working and taking the car, snow days, and now us being sick, she has hardly gone at all! She seemed to enjoy her first day, she didn't cry at all when I dropped her off, and when I picked her up, she just wanted to go play on the playground :) Her teacher "madame Sophie" seems very nice, and speaks enough english so her and I can communicate a bit. It's really odd not having her here when she does go to school, the house is much quieter, haha. 
She is potty trained for the most part when she is home, and we can even go grocery shopping without any accidents (so far)!! She has started to hate diapers, and doesnt even like putting them on for naps, the only setback we've had is this bug we've all got, and I've been furiously disinfecting the house in hopes of stopping it from coming back!! 
Raigan is growing quickly too, she is almost 4 months, and rolled over yesterday! She seemed quite pleased with herself, and happy that she was off her tummy and could look at all her toys again lol. She's been sleeping better during the night, but still sleeps with me. I've decided to not worry about "sleep training" and all that for a while. She's just not ready, and I'm not ready to have the whole house up all night because I'm putting her in her crib for bed. 

I am so looking forward to May!! It cannot come quickly enough! I'm going to be catching a Space-A flight somewhere back to the states, then flying/driving to Colorado :) I'll be there until mid June. so, a long trip. I decided if I"m going to make the trip by myself with Kay and Raigan, it's going to be a long one! Mat doesn't have enough leave to go to colorado and have time to pick up and drop off Breanna for her summer visit, so I"ll be going alone. We're going to meet up in Florida in June for a family vacation with Breanna, on the beach, it should be wonderful!!! 

I'm also excited about summer, because it is our last one in Belgium!! We have no idea where we will end up after this, but we're really hoping for somewhere close to Breanna. And at this point I will be happy as long as we're back in the USA. I like Europe, but I have had enough of Belgium. I'm ready to be closer to family!  We've got less than a year left, and we are looking forward to finding out where we are going next. 
I would write more, but really, not much going on here. We're all sick, Kay goes to school sometimes, and Raigan...is cranky. lol :) 

Here is a video of Kay loving on Raigan :)
Love you all!!!!
