I thought of these boards when I heard him say those as well, haha.

I will update the first post, but there are a handful of middle names we have already ruled out for various reasons, and Jean is one. :) Great feedback and ideas everyone, keep them coming!

We found our fourth child will be our fourth daughter! We seem to be having more difficulty coming up with names for this than the first three. I wanted to get the Hive's opinions on some though. If it helps, the first three are: Natalie Jade Gabriella Joy Savannah Juliet Here are some ideas we like for first names: Liberty Trinity Charlotte Harmony Leah Autumn Harper The middle name needs to be a J name. Here are some ideas we had: JoAnne Joanne Jacklyn Joelle Jewel Jessica Justice Jillian Journey Janae J'Aimais Middle names we have already ruled out for various reasons include the following: Jade Joy Juliet/Juliette Jean Jennifer June Jamie/Jamey/Jaime Janelle Joan Please share if you have other ideas we might like for either first or middle names, and please share what combinations of first and middle you like. I will try to keep this post updated as we see more names we like. :) FWIW, our current front-runner is probably Charlotte JoAnne

Thanks!

Thanks everyone! We are hoping to get base housing. Most of it appears to be in the York School Division, which we have heard good things about. Especially Bethel Manor Elementary. Am I being misinformed about that? Is the traffic worse than in Hawaii?

Well, I found out we will be going to Langley AFB in the Hampton-Newport News-Virginia Beach area sometime this spring. I am doing research like crazy into schools, churches, and housing, etc. We are excited to finally know where we are going. I know several of you live there. Any advice?

FWIW, I don't think The Gospel Coalition is the same people putting out The Gospel Project curriculum...

Just a reminder, and wanted to mention it will be aired on CSPAN. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1012/82725.html?hp=r2

My pleasure!

I was diagnosed with ADHD- Inattentive back in December. I am on Adderall right now, but there are definitely some non-prescription things that have helped as well. Caffeine is one. The other is some kind of productivity system. I would read this book: http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Things-Done-Stress-Free-Productivity/dp/0142000280/ref=la_B001ILIG4C_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350515347&sr=1-1

For four third-party candidates. No discussion of the politics please. This could be a good opportunity to discuss with your kids about the two-party system. Here are articles detailing who, when, where, etc. I have selected multiple sources so there shouldn't be too much bias shown. I think several of them are from the AP anyway. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-larry-king-third-party-debate-moderator-20121017,0,5390151.story http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/17/larry-king-third-party-debate_n_1974514.html http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/17/larry-king-to-moderate-3rd-party-candidate-debate/ http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2012/10/17/game_changer_larry_king_will_moderate_critical_four_way_third_party_candidate.html Enjoy!

That's because it was written at some point in the last 1000 years... ;)

Yeah, I agree with the OP, but I think too many people here are too emotional and sensitive for it to work. No offense. I have yet to find a forum where I can discuss politics with a group of intelligent, well-reasoned, well-informed, and diverse individuals, as you find here. I prefer discussing politics with people who have differing points of view than myself, it's the best way to grow. Maybe I will start a forum for those interested in such discussions without being overly emotional. Everyone would have to abide by the rules of being respectful and not taking things too personally. Any interest? (PM me is probably best)

I am a YEC, I believe God created the Earth in 6 literal 24 hour days. I also don't believe it is a hill worth dying on, and it wouldn't affect my faith if it were one of those other options listed.

I remember having a crush on a girl in my Kindergarten class. I had a crush on that same girl until 4th grade, when we moved away.

Thanks everyone! All of this is great help. Anyone have any insight on Pease (Portsmouth NH)?

Well, maybe some parents were upset by violent video games, and they decided to separate the younger children from the teens?

FWIW, I have always been interested in girls, and never went through a "girls have cooties" stage. I remember having crushes even in Kindergarten. I wasn't abused or exposed to inappropriate things too early or walked in on my parents or anything like that. Not saying this behavior (especially the watching you part) is acceptable and shouldn't be looked into. I am just saying that abuse or something similar doesn't necessarily have to be a factor, and I wouldn't automatically jump to that conclusion.

Thanks everyone for all the insights! If the schools are good wherever we go, there is a good possibility we won't continue with the homeschooling. So that is something to consider as well. :)

Dw is wanting a change in seasons. She is tired of living here, where it pretty much feels the same year round. I prefer a dry heat, and if there is winter, I prefer some snow.

Barksdale AFB - Louisiana Ellsworth AFB - South Dakota Hurlburt Field - Florida JB Langley - Eustis - Virginia Minot AFB - North Dakota Nellis AFB - Nevada Tyndall AFB - Florida Whiteman AFB - Missouri Anyone have any insights on any of these locations they are willing to share? We will be moving to one of these places in the spring... :lurk5:

For self-defense, I would suggest, in order of preference: Krav Maga Kajukenbo Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Aikido

Yikes! I wouldn't let them into my house without a warrant.
