Time Flies

Well it has deffinantly been a while since I last posted anything.  Summer has come and gone, stress with the navy has only increased and now my favorite time of the year is here.  So I'll just give a quick recap of what has happened over the last several months in our lives.

In August Jay was informed that the EFM stuff for Kaden needed to be updated or he wouldn't get his orders.  We've only been waiting since March for hard copy orders here, no biggie to the navy.  Oh we were given a week to do what takes MONTHS to get done in.  EFM is the program Kaden is in for his autisim diagnosis.  I got the paperwork completed at the end of Aug. and 3 weeks later is was all rejected because the family dr filled out portions of it incorrectly and the EFM board determined that we now had to get Kaden retested for autisim.

In late September I began the process to get Kaden into see the right specialists to get the EFM updated so Jay could get his orders.  Well the only appointments the specialist are months out so we were given a special EFM category just so Jay can get those orders (hardy copy ones).  And then we waited.

In October we found out that his original orders no longer could be given due to the school moving to FL and we're not allowed to move anywhere until the EFM is updated.  So the navy gave two options of orders and the ones he picked are something he can't wait to be doing: networking instructor.  Annabelle turned 5 and we had halloween.

Now here in November Catlin has turned one.  Where did the time go?  Jay's missed the last 5 months of her life already.  Jay is still waiting on hard copy of his new orders, but we do know he'll be home before Dec. 10th because his school for instructor begins Jan. 7th and he has to be home 30 days before that.  So while we are still waiting on the navy to get their act together and give us the hard copy orders we at least have a date to look forward to and know that he'll be home for Christmas.  Fall is here and it has been really quite nice.  Our trees have leaves falling all the time and I managed to get one nice photo of the kids before our weather turned too cold to do so.  Thanksgiving is just around the corner now and we have truly so much to be thankful for at this time of year.  May this holiday season be a joyous one for all of you!
