Its been a few days

Its been about 11 days since we posted and a lot has happened. I've been working long days to get to know my new group, Lauril has been trying to find things for the kids to do and the kids have been trying not to stay bored. Because we felt wierd about putting the kids into school just in time to pull them out when we bought a house, we kept them out of school. It is now apparant that we can't wait any longer. Lauril is spending hours putting the kids into school.


Saturday we went to visit the LDS Washington DC Temple. It was very nice and they have a very nice visitor center. The traffic on the Maryland side is considerably worse than the VA side. We drove through Chevy Chase MD where the streets are very narrow and the houses very very expensive.
We also drove on Sunday afternoon to Quantico National Cemetary. There are rows and rows of white grave markers that reminded us of pictures we'd seen of Arlington and Flander's field at Normandy.
We've found the home we want to buy but we are holding off buying it until our Nampa home sells. It is a nice split entry home that is a bit older but in good condition. It is on over an acre in the woods but the majority of the back yard is cleared. It is not the one posted previously. When we toured that one it had a lot of wierd features and would not have worked well for us.
We are hoping to go to the national Air and Space museum this Saturday. Its free to get in but parking is over $12.
