My New Chaplain Assistant - Michael

I have had the privilege of working with two absolutely outstanding Chaplain Assistants.  You have seen SSgt B in a number of blog entries.  He went back to his family almost a month ago.  His replacement is SSgt C.  By all indications, SSgt C is every bit the hard-working, get-it-done kind of a person as SSgt B.  On a deployment, it just does not get any better than this.

More Backyard Construction - Michael

My backyard is definitely changing.  It is becoming the new home for a whole lot of folks.  The concrete slab is done; conex's will be coming soon.

Twenty-six Phonetic Readers


Zander's had a hard time learning to read...but slow and steady...right? We're enjoying this set of books.

Tuesdays.....Tuesdays.....ah, Tuesdays....


I didn't make it to the gym. I'm trying to work out how to do this on Tuesdays. I can't go to the gym, drive back out here and make it back to the base by 8:30...... but Bible study was good....lots of great ladies to meet...lots of new ladies....


While at Bible study - before - I heard that Jared's physical therapy appt was moved up to tomorrow. He also has a kidney ultrasound and blood pressure reading tomorrow....AND I received a call that he was ill. Please pray that he is well enough for these appointments tomorrow. 


We came home and did a bit of "stuff"....then I took Arielle back to the base for Middle School Drama (I love typing that - always reminds me of Deja and our jokes).  I had planned to go to the gym but was feeling a great need for ISOLATION - time to be alone and SILENT...and so I crept into the conference room with my journals and Bible and enjoyed 90 minutes of bliss.

We made a quick run to the commissary.

As I cooked Zander and Nolan kept chasing flies and talking about bugs.....hmmmmm?

When I was looking for a "26" photo.....I found this.... mystery solved. He looks so cute in my entry way.


NOW - what in the world do we do to keep him alive? The kids are totally excited to have a pet and say it's not as good as a Beagle or Siba but until Dad remembers to vote on a puppy.......how could I say no to such a diversion? ::snort::

Arielle and I are going to go watch Mrs. Potter.
