Can you spell...?

Lately, Meridith has been spelling EVERYTHING!  I am so proud of her but sometimes in the middle of a sentence it is kind of annoying!  Anyway, Annabelle has taken to spelling too, which makes me laugh a lot!

Here is how she spells...

Mom, I want some:

T-I-E-I-O (candy)
P-I-E-I-O (cereal)

We have had such a great time with the kids this Christmas break and we wish it could last a little longer!  We hope that everyone had a happy holiday and that the new year brings many blessings to all!

Priority Boxes

Davin has decided that he wants to go to Grandma's house!  If only the boxes were a little bit bigger!

~~Here We Go Again!~~

I am only going to vent for a moment, I PROMISE!  As I watched President Obama speak last night I could only think, "Here we go again".  As anyone knows (well if you read my blog) my husband just returned from Iraq in September (his third tour over there).  His battallion wasn't suppose to redeploy until January 2011.  We have been hearing for a few weeks now that they have moved the date up to September 2010 (and that was before the speech last night).  I know now that everyday will bring us new news and we will probably be saying goodbye in the near future. 

I am in support of us going to Afghanistan, only because our troops that are over there do not have enough support.  I know that our Marines are needed and that is why they are going to be the first ones sent. 

I do feel EXTREMELY blessed because my husband should have gone to Afghanistan earlier this year and the battallion that he should have gone with lost a lot of men.  We are very blessed! I just ask that we all pray for our troops, especially the ones that are leaving and won't be able to spend the holidays with their families.
