Rene, That would be Dawn's Christopher who is leaving Dam Neck this weekend to go home to Mom before going to his ship. Then mom gets ready to go to the island to see her daughter! How much more fun can one Mom ask for?

Geez, I'm going to feel like an outsider before long. We are going to have to get Ellen to rename the group to IMs of Multiples. No wonder these others don't join in the discussions. Between the Chrises and the twins (who are twins and who have twins) I'm getting confused!!! Guess it must be past my bedtime. teehee. Have a wonderful night everyone. Going to go say my prayers now.

Rene,
I love your picture!!! Wish I could help you about the camera but I'm afraid I wouldn't be any help. I just recently learned that I can take my memory card out of my digital camera and put it into my laptop and move pictures onto my computer that way. I've only done it once tho' (with my daughter's help) so I don't thing I can explain HOW I did it!!!! :)

Barbara,
How cool - I just looked at your page and noticed you have twin boys. I have twin girls - one's also in the Navy, the other is in college. And if I can read my notes correctly Vikki has twins and Ellen has twins. I hope I didn't miss any other twin moms - if so let me know - I'll have to update my notes!!!!!

Barbara,
Welcome to the group. I look forward to getting to know you and your sailor. One thing the Navy teaches us is patience!! When my Chris (CK) went back into the Navy Dec 1st, he was supposed to go to Great Lakes to get uniforms reissued and then head to VA for school. He got that time table pushed back so many times - didn't even report to VA til mid Jan and just started his school 2 weeks ago. This starts week 3 for him and a half dozen other Chrises!!! (Sorry just had to throw in that last comment!!!!)
I'm glad he got a room and eventually someone will figure out where is supposed to be!! Anxiety is good for us - - right?!?!?

Mary,
Thank you so much for the sweet comments about meeting my Chris. I am so happy that you got to enjoy your visit!!! So CK told you about our plans to go on the road?!?!? I will certainly keep you posted. Still have to sell a condo in Mentor, OH tho' before we can do too much.
Yes, us Intel Moms might have a conspiracy or two going on but you're right - - they are all FOR our sailors. Never anything to be considered hurtful or harmful. All just some good fun.
Rene, you crack me up also!!! It is good that we warn Barbara. I cannot tell you how much I look forward to talking to everyone in this group. You are all helping me get through some difficult things. Even tho' it doesn't fit with this group I might have to ask your opinions about some things going on with my sailor daughter in WA. I just really miss my kids!!

Anna, I heard about your plan you and your husband hope to see come to fruition in a couple of years. The plan to travel around. It sure sounds nice. it will be fun to keep up with your adventures and hopefully get to see some pics of places you go to. It will be a great way to get out and live the area you are in.

Sorry Dawn, wasn't trying to step on you there. I was on the phone and slow at typing. You beat me in. That's good. Thank you.
