Good Morning to Everyone.
Hope everyone weekend was fantastic.
We have a new addition to our family. We got a new cat name Mystic. She is 2 years old black cat. Very friendly and loves to play. We found her at the shelter. I have been looking for one for a while now. Still hasn't eaten since we got her home So I don't know if she is still adjusting or what. Maybe by the end of today she will. She doesn't like the front door to open either. Ever time that happens she runs and hides under my sons bed.

Julyasmom and Bailey'sMom,
I also am very close to both my girls - they are twins. Just the way our lives played out, the hubby was working and living in other cities as a contractor and both boys had left home. Us girls were the 3 musketeers for about 7 years. It was really hard when Catherine left, not only for me but her twin as well. Especially when you have to wait for letters once a week!!! It did get better when she went to A school and had her cell phone. So I sure do understand how you feel!!! Hang in there Moms!! Hugs to you both {{{ •_• }}}
Julyasmom,
So glad your invitations came out!!! Sounds like you have a great neighbor!
Spyder,
Did you get any rain yet?? We are in Barstow now and it got cloudy and windy but no rain!!!
Catsmom,
I'm so sorry Jerkface keeps giving her such grief!! She just doesn't deserve that!!! Please tell her I'm keeping her in my prayers. I'm glad she had a good time!!

Anna, love the pictures! Yes we got rain! YAY! Loving the snow. We need the snow pack. So happy you are having fun! Love the picture of you and Vickyrun! Beautiful Navy sisters. :-)
Julyasmom, happy your invitations are done, Hugs to you. Never easy to have our children leave home.
BaileysMom, hugs to you. When does she start A school? Nothing better than hearing their voice. Next best thing to being with them.
Spyder, hope our rain made it to you.
Got a call from Crystal last night, some of the Navy people took her to dinner last night, kind of a Baby Shower, gave her some gift cards, and baby cloths. She was so happy . Then her POS hubby called her and ruined it...was mad cuz she hadn't called him emailer while she was at dinner....told her she didn't care about him ect...and she had called him before she went into the restraunts! I told her, don't let him ruin your fun! He has to stop thinking about himself! And when Justin is born, he better get over himself, that the baby will be #1... I told her don't you dare apologize for going out with her Navy family to celebrate her soon to be son.

Blondie, so happy you had a nice long talk with your girl :-) the dress sounds beautiful. Can't wait to see pictures. I say leave as early as you can. ;-)

Good Morning to Everyone.
Anna, she is growing up to fast. Christina and hubby have decided they will have another kid but they want to buy a house first. So in about a year or so they will find a home and Aurora will maybe have a sibling after that. Yea!!!!!
If you look at the picture Aurora is standing all by herself. She is going to be walking before her 1st birthday. Grandma needs more energy.LOL
