Dear Pat:

save me!

picture crazy

rare tranquil moment with the cat:

P and the chocolate lab we babysat for a week:

I found Goodwill on the coast, can hardly believe my luck. Here's the creamer and sugar bowl that look an awful lot like my buffalo china pattern. Oh, and my V-Day flowers from D. (also included: ferraro rocher, but only because it's his favorite chocolate, hehe):

my dad's idea of a christmas tree (actually, it's the best we've had in awhile. good job, dad):

The navy won't let us photograph faces while ppl are in uniform....actually that's not true, I just couldn't get everyone still long enough to center the pic right:

The belly at 4 months:


coming soon: the 5th wheel vs. the single wide. (there is no comparison)

if Gulfport, MS isn't the end of the world...

then Sigonella, Sicily certainly is! Yup, it's official: we're going to Italy for the last rotation of D's military career (3 yrs). I'm just now starting to research since our internet is on the fritz; so far B knows much more about everything than I do--she would add "what else is new," but I digress. All I know is that this summer is going to be crazy...
Here's their main website, in case you get bored. I'm looking at it for the first time myself as we speak.
