it is almost 11 am here and my son is still sleeping too. He said he had about 7 1/2 hours sleep in the past few days and so he is exhausted. We were fortunate that his flight got in at 2 in the afternoon and we only live about an hour from the airp…

How wonderful for you to all you children home.
My son got in to LAX at 9 pm last night and when we pulled up in our driveway at almost midnight all of his friends were waiting to see him. He is still sleeping....but it is so nice to have all of my children back under the same roof.

Wow....cookies baked....breakfast ready to cook.....my sailor son still sleeping..... in his own bed.....life is great! My wish today is for everyone to have a wonderful time with your sailors....and Merry Christmast to all!
What a wonderful weekend this will be. It's 9:30 and Matt is still sleeping. His luggage has been lost (what will we do without his electronics- HA) but "its all good". Merry Christmas!
I am soooo happy that my son came home yesterday!! I know that all of you are happy to have your sailors home as well.
I hope that all of you have a fantastic time with your sailor and family. Take care.

Had to share...my brother took this at the airport seconds after I hugged Nate and almost lost it!

Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, w… Continue

So Say We All
For anyone who is a fan of the new Battlestar Galactica Series, you are familiar with that term. The people on the show use it as an "Amen" type of word. It signifies that the people are of one accord, one mind, steadfast. Something about the simplicity of the phrase hits me where I live.

A group of men and women, brought together for the devine purpose of defending… Continue
