It's Been Almost 3 Years.....

Since I posted a blog :( Oops! Our family has had some major changes too! In June 2012 I gave birth to our (last) newest member of the Pahman Family, Kaitlynn Jane. April 2013, Jesse (medically) retired from the Army. May of 2013 I graduated with my ADN (Associate Degree in Nursing). In August of 2013 we moved from El Paso Texas back to our home state of Michigan. In September I took & passed my licensing exam & became a fully licensed Registered Nurse in the state of Michigan.

Jesse, Emma, Christopher, Matthew & Kaitlynn - January 2013

I can't promise I can keep up on blogging, but at least we are back home now. Perhaps I will find a way to get in a habit of making a post every once in awhile. In fact since this blog was made, well originally for Jesse while he was gone over seas, but to tell about family, I may make it private. I haven't decided just yet.

We babysat so our friends could go out for dinner. Here's Jesse feeding their newest addition, Kaylee.

Took the kids out for an eary Valentine's dinner. Grand China Buffet, one of our faves:) Of course I had crab legs, which meant the boys just had to have some claws to play with.

As you know, or may have heard, we have had some quite odd weather & experiences here in El Paso recently. While our family was extremely fortunate, no loss of water, heat or electricity, today was our first day of experiencing an 'odd' reaction to things. This is the pot of water I gathered this morning to make myself an egg. As the water company gets everything back & running properly, even those of us that had running water the entire time can expect some not quite right conditions. As you see in the photo, the water, really, looked like milk. After sitting for a few moments it cleared & of course we could boil it to be sure. Jesse also ran the water today for 10 straight minutes to help try & clear the pipes.

Hopefully soon everything will be back to normal & everyone will have their water fixed. I believe additional help has been brought in. Not only are there main lines being repaired but individual homes had lines blow as well. This includes both military housing & standard residential.
