Happy Birthday to your son Cindy! My oldest sailor just set up Skype for me, grandma, his brother and My youngest now has it too. It is a great program and worth having!

The Keel Came yesterday but our mail lady does not like to get out of her truck so just left a paper..we pick it up tomorrow! So nice it came while Jacob is here, now my two sailors can show thier keels to grandpa who will have his.

My son's in Groton and we were on Skype last night when there was a knock on the door...the guys got "show watch" to go do some shoveling. He had duty early this morning and then the day off. Yesterday was our first day on Skype and it's so awesome! If any of you don't have it with your sailors (who have internet), it's fantastic!

My son has leave the 28th through New Year's and is planning a trip to NYC for new year's eve, which happens to be his 21st birthday. We won't get to see him for a while, but I can't say I blame him for using his time the way he plans to. We just bought him a down comforter we're sending off to him tomorrow (an early bday present) to help him get through the winter. Not only is he used to California weather, he's always had a dog and cat or two to sleep with, hoping this makes the cold a little more bearable!

Wade and Kari - you are both so lucky. Like Deb, Kelly has until the 27th. At Groton, apparently half go the first half of the break, then the other half get the New Year's holiday.

Margaret,
I completely understand!! I keep looking at that young man and then thinking how very PROUD his mom must feel!! Sure wish I could tell her how proud we are and that she did a GREAT job!!

Tina, THANKS for te link. I cried! It shows what our brave men and women do for us! It was hard looking at the corpsman as he is carrying the wounded soilder, as that is what Laurence is wanting to do. He will go to FMTB in N.C. and then do training in New Orleans. I know he wants to go into the battlefield, but I much prefere New Orleans!

Wade142,
Also, tell him that is where some marines go to after bootcamp for their A school, so he wont be the only new kid on the block!!
