The Kid House

Back in my day they would call moms like me the kool-aid mom. You know the one who has the house where the kids end up spending most of their play time. Today that is definitely our house. There is often an extra kid or two or three hanging around here. Most of them have sign in names for games on our computers! The group of gals pictured to the left we call "Gracie's Posse". This is a sweet bunch of cuties that will play the day away every chance they have.
This aspect of living in base housing is one that our family enjoys the most. When you move in to a military community there are bound to be friends aplenty right next door. Many of these friends are families we have linked up with hard and fast. The kind of folks who quickly become like family, even if it is only for 2 years. The ones you spend holidays with and help through the tough times because your real family is half a world away. Needless to say that it is hard to say goodbye but you get used to it because you have to. We do our best to stay in touch and look forward to being stationed together again someday. Even when we go separate directions it is fun to know that you have friends all over the world.
We are quickly approaching that point in our tour here on Guam when we will have to say goodbye. It's sad and exciting all at once. We look forward to keeping alot of friends from Guam who have moved or will be moving with us to Virginia. We are also excited about reuniting with old friends who are there from other duty stations. It's all becoming real now that we are setting packout dates and looking online for housing and a church family. Look out Virginia here we come ready to set up "The Kid House" in one of your unsuspecting neighborhoods.
