World Travels

For those of you that were unaware: Lamar has been spending the past several weeks in Pakistan. He and the rest of the guys went to participate in the earthquake relief effort. He said that he has taken many pictures, some of which I will publish when he gets them to me. The conditions are pretty much what you would expect of an area that has been completely devistated by a natural disaster. The exciting news...they should be on their way back to Bahrain right now. They have done great work there, but they are ready to return to Bahrain for the remainder of their deployment. He is still scheduled to return home the middle of February. Grace and I are definitely ready! He is half way finished with his deployment. He left Norfolk on August 15, making today 3 months:)

What are you?

Are you Dixie or Yankee? This is a pretty fun test. I was 83% Dixie. There was a concern that I still use Confederate money? Try it and see where you fall. www.alphadictionary.com/articles/yankeetest.html

Tyler and Grace

This is Tyler. He lives next door and is about three weeks younger than Grace. They go to the same daycare and spend much of their awake time together. Tyler got his helicopter pjs for his birthday. Of course, being helicopters, we had to have a pair as well. Complete coincidence that when he came over to visit the other night, they both had them on.

The Great Pumpkin

Grace went trick or treating on Monday with the daughter of a friend of mine. She had a ball and came home with half of a bag of candy that she cannot eat. She did have about eight packs of smarties that night. I was afraid that I would never get her to sleep. Alas, I was mistaken. She got so tired she fell asleep on the way home. She went as a pumpkin. At first she was not really into the costume thing. She kept taking it off, but eventually, she forgot that it was on. She was too cute:)
