We are very happy to be here and are enjoying some of the sites. Val is up to her eyeballs with work and the demands the Turks have for living in their country. Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. Did I mention the paperwork we have to do?
We moved into a very nice house about a half mile from the front gate of the base. It takes Val about 5 minutes to get in the parking lot of her school, depending on the gate situation.
Bella has started preschool and ballet. She loves them both. She really loves being a ballerina. She has all the necessary gear and loves to get dressed up.Sophie is having a good time "hanging out" with dad. She is such a good girl and loves her big sister.
Val is so busy she can't see straight. She leaves the house before 6 am and doesn't come home until after 4. The challenge of 4th grade has been fun and exhausting. She likes the kids but loves the time off. She is amazing at everything she does and this will be no exception. She has enjoyed our trips to the Mediterranean sea, it's a 45 minute drive. We have spent 5 Saturdays there so far. It is a great place for her to clear her head and play with the kids, me included.
Dad, well dad is good. Life has taken some pretty drastic changes for us these recent months but, hey, it's what we have been praying for. I am happy to be here but will be happier when our house hold goods arrive. That reminds me. The Turkish Government has put a hold on all incoming house hold goods. It could take a couple months, that's right months, before we are able to sleep in our own bed.
Stay tuned!

The good-old life of being a Turk. :) Is that a new rug in the playroom? The beach looks wonderful. It sounds like you guys are getting out and doing things. The first year is always the toughest, after that you will finally be inprocessed. Yes, a year probably. Love you guys!
cheap-o rug. I believe we spent 35tl on it. What's that, like $23.
Greg, looks great! Glad to see you and Valerie and the girls are doing well!!
