An addition - a few folks have asked me to add the feature that allows readers to receive blog entries in their inbox. This surprises me...but I was happy to learn how to do it. The form to sign up is in the side bar.
A warning - I haven't had time to post quite a few photos this week and am now working on this. You're warned.

I'm determined to get photos in safe albums NOW before they sit another 3 years.
I'm doing naked albums and that's the way it IS. When I hit the point in time when we switched to digital photos, I'll switch to digital scrapping. That will be considerably less space and weight to move. LOL I think I'll do more of a hybrid style when I get caught up to 2009....which may well happen. ::snort::
I've reached the spot where we got married. Yep - 1984. Would you take the photos from the wedding album and add them in to the family chronological albums.....then they'd be safe....or wait and scrap them later.....?????

A young family friend of ours has been shot while serving our country overseas. Please pray for him, his young wife, parents and five siblings.
I've just gotten off the phone with my friend, Evelyn, his mother. He is out of surgery. He's in ICU. Continued prayers are welcome.
In a strange twist I received an email from one of our local PWOC active duty young women. She is stationed at the same location and wanted me to know she was praying for Philip.
This has been a morning of interceding for all our troops....something I do every day...but shame on me...certainly with more ferver this a.m.
I'm keeping this deliberately vague due to Operational Security. I figure this is enough info for prayers.

Zander asked over lunch, "Can't we PLEASE just take Beatrix to Japan?" When I explained the problems; he had a solution.
"We'll take Be and put a note on her. We'll leave her at Cy's, knock on the
door and then run. Bea can't run. The note will say, 'Cy, your family members
are in Japan. Surprise! Please watch our dog.'"
Such a simple solution. I laughed. Then I teared up. But I laughed some more. This is life....a roller coaster of emotions....but very vibrant. ::snort:: There were also questions today about who will fly over for Christmas and who may not. Ugh....somehow those early years when we "knew" the older kids would eventually not be moving with us seemed so very far away. OK - GET READY! HERE IT COMES!!! THE SAPPY MENTAL PAUSAL LADY COMMENT, "It goes so fast. Enjoy these years. Make the kids your priority. You won't regret it." ::grin::
I have photos - but am exhausted. Maybe I'll get lots of photos up tomorrow. Tonight: cuddle, read, sleep....for tomorrow it will all begin again. ::snort::

It will all get done...one piece of paper at a time. Mike is working late and swamped at work and so I'm doing all the paperwork and forms that I can....then he signs them and turns them in. ::snort:: I'm trying to be a good help for him. The UCI begins in 10 days...and so relief will be here in 19 days. ::snort:: THEN Mike will be able to focus more on the move and I can focus on relationships, school, packing and house.
