65 Days

I had one of those "holy cow!" moments last night. I have spent more of my life with kids than without!

From the desert

I was lucky enough to talk with Ryanne last night. A phone call came in from area code 202 (Washington, DC) and I thought it was a poll. It sounded like Ryanne was still in the states. She told me it hit 120º and the wind felt like someone had turned a hairdryer on high on her. I am hoping she sends us a picture of a scorpion or something creepy crawly soon!

58 days

The kids, Carl, Susan and I went to my friends annual bash at his house in Rehoboth. Beautiful house with it's own water slide, bandstand, helicopter landing pad, pond... in other words just like my house! (Well, minus all the nice stuff it would still be better than our!)

Camp Buehring

People keep asking about where Camp Buehring is - they always seem to think that it is it's own country. The military gives us this crystal clear picture of where it is in the gulf (NOT!)

54 Days, Caden & Chloe's Dad gets to visit!

Susan, Caden, Chloe, Carl (Their daddy) Susan's Brother Wes and I spent the weekend on the Vineyard (Chappaquidick). On a scale of 1 - 10 it was a 12 weekend. The kids got to spend plenty of time with their Dad, the weather was perfect, life was just great. All we were missing was Ryanne.

50 Days

Caden & Chloe's Dad has come to stay with us for a few weeks while he is on leave. We are going to Martha's Vineyard and hopefully will have some great beach pics to post Tuesday.

48 days later

Chloe at her best!

Packages from Mom

I thought Ryanne might like to see Chloe with her favorite new Blankey! Oh, and Emma asked me to post these pictures of her wearing a Lei - strange dog!
