Family times!

Well it finally feels like I am nearing the piont of being settled in... Finally. I know I have posted my true goings on in awhile so I will be playing cath up in the next few days. I could never had gotten this far in this short amount of time without my family being here (that and the extra time the Army gave me off)! Jennie and John helped tremendously by helping move stuff around and unpack things. Generally it was such a pleasure having my family here. I was a little down in the dumps about this move given the fact that we will only be here for 4 months as our unit is deploying soon.I really like our apartment too!! I had so much fun though playing with Ivy and Riley which I of course have to show off. Riley has picked up Ivy's penchant for being a ham. Loving it. Ivy is still posing it up as usual so nothing has changed there. Pre-warning. I love taking pictures of the kiddos and my family.

Ivy and I on the night she left. She kept hugging me and saying "I Know.. I know..." such a cutie!

Oh the irony....

I thought I had outsmarted my stomach. Hear me out. Many of you know my adversion to wheat and greasy foods. But as of late I really have not had much of a problem... I mean the occasional cookie, sandwich... nothing much. But I must have taken it too far by combining the two. Oh me... Chinese food. How I used to love thee. We can no longer be on speaking terms. You have simply made my life unbearable. With my lack of gallbladder (deplorably named "dumping-syndrome") and my body's dislike of all things wheat... it's simply not meant to be. Your white rice can keep me from visiting the porcelain throne after an all night sweet and sour chicken binge. But I digress... I'll skip that part now and divert straight to the bland and blanche. But feel no remorse. I shall move on somehow... I'll pick my battles... Chocolate chip cookie dough anyone?

Back to the pictures

Well while I am sitting here waiting to mve into my house, I thougt I would get back into my tradition of posting some favored random pictures. This one that I am about to post is one of my favs. Whenever it pops up on my screensaver it puts a smile on my face and makes me long to be home.
For anyone who doesn't know this is my nephew Riley. He is such a cutie-patootie! At this point we were camping and I believe he had just woken up wondering where his daddy was (bathroom). Can't wait to go camping again! More pics to come!
