home again

Just a few pictures of Chris that I wanted to share.The truck is being worked on and it's taking longer then what they thought. The truck was dead this morning. It worked just fine last week when I drove it. So anyway we've had a crazy morning. Lots of hugs and kisses. I think everyone at the airport and on his plane knew that he was getting home from a year tour. Leia told everyone. Plus we got several comments on our signs.

I know this picture is blurry,but the Ruger and D where all over Chris. It made me tear up because D was actually crying. I had never heard him make that sound before and Ruger couldn't get enough kisses in.

I made this cake for Chris. He loves Oreo's so I made him the very yummy Oreo cake

We had Jen and Abram over for cake so they could meet.

I better get going. I still have to finish packing. I'm so tired I just want to take a nap.We got in super late and early this morning Leia woke us up.She can't get enough of her daddy. We're heading out tomorrow. See you all soon.

Chris is home!!!

Yeah!!! Chris is home. I can't post much we just got up and we have to take the truck in to get checked out before we hit the road. I'll be seeing you all soon. Love you all.

all things are look good for the day

I haven't heard from him so I assume that he is somewhere over the ocean. I looked up all the airports where he will be landing and so far all of them are on schedule today and no cancellations. Thank goodness. That is a huge relief. His plane is getting here so late at night,but it's worth it.

This is how my nerves feel. I thought I'd make you laugh.

winter storm

Sigh,Sob,Cry, I know it's early but I checked where Chris is flying and they have cancelled all of the flights for now.I'm not sure where he's going to get stuck.It will be a miracle if he actually gets here when he's supposed to. I'll keep you updated.

Elvis

Tonight at 6 p.m. I want you to look at the clock and know that Elvis has left the building. I feel like dancing.

It's going to be a long 29 hours.

Just goofing off this morning arranging how the page looks. It's a rainy gloomy day here. Leia's upset that it's not snowing. Thursday we had 56% chance snow but instead we received rain. I saw something funny on the Internet. It was a billboard in New York from a church that said who ever is praying for snow you can stop now. And Leia said but I was the one praying for the snow here not there. Kids they say the cutest things.

We're getting things ready for Chris to come home and for our trip. Does anyone know a good Internet site where we can check the roads and weather while driving? I have looked all over the Internet for one and can't find one. I find Apps to apply to your phone,but we're old school and have a very simple phone.Yes my friends laugh when they see the dinosaur that I carry around. I don't use the phone like they do. In fact if someone needs to get ahold of me best chances are to call the house phone. That's just how we roll. It drives my friends nuts. Especially when I'm not home and they can't reach me. I do have my phone with me for emergencies, but not for everyday chat and instant messages. Half the time I don't even have it on.Kelly for your sake I'm trying really hard to remember to turn it on when I leave the house. Even to go to Jens. Anyway don't know why I'm rambling on about the cell phone. It's just that boring around here I guess.

I can be a critic movie reviewer. We watched Knight and Day. Don't bother renting it. It was a really dumb movie. The special effects were awful and all that kept happening was people getting shot up. So if I could save you a rental fee, save it on this one. It's lame.

Not much else is happening around here.We're taking a break doing homeschool today. We've been working every weekend on school and it's becoming too much for us. We do have enough days while on vacation and if we don't then we'll make it up another time.(If we don't leave on the exact days,or finish up the week taking our time getting home)

Hope the sun is shining in your neck of the woods and that the snow and ice is over. I want it gone for our road trip. Wishful thinking on my part. And for Leia's sake a light dusting of snow enough to make a few snowballs and catch them on her tongue. Maybe sled down Mamaw's hill, but nothing more then an inch.
See you all soon. Love you.

bad hair day

I found these wild color roses from a florist. I thought it went appropriate with my bad hair day blog. I gave all of the animals a bath. I love taking their pictures afterwords.

I was able to get Ruger into the bathtub.,It was too cold to give him a bath outside.I don't think my tub will forgive me. The water looks like river water.

Not to mention the hairy drain. I had a hair guard on it but it didn't catch it all. The drain is dreadfully slow so I will be calling the maintenance man out again to unclog it. Sorry maintenance man. It really was way too cold to give him a bath outside and see we're going on this road trip and he needed a bath. Yeah right lady it's really your hair it's OK We all go bald:) Especially if you keep coloring your hair.

I colored my hair yesterday. In the sunlight it looks more brown. In the house under normal lighting it looks a fake black.

Posting pictures of my bad hair so when you see me you won't be in shock.

I can't wait to see everyone . Love you
