Well good afternoon ladies! I have speed read 9 pages since I was last on and I think I'm pretty well up-to-date on those who don't have facebook.
I'm off in 2 hrs. for our final wedding rehearsal for this month and final wedding tomorrow! Yippeee! My son is great in Pensacola and we missed him a lot this week for his dad's birthday, but they talked for about an hour!
My Pensacola group is weak, too! I will check back in with you all in a few days, but I sure do hope you have a great weekend!

How wonderful Mrs. B! Welcome little navy man;) So Mrs. B how did labor and delivery go? Did they teach your sailor how to handle any thing like that in boot camp?:) Did he get the leave you were hoping for? I'll understand if it takes you a while to answer. God bless your precious family!

Hi Ladies!
GOOD NEWS!!!! We have a new Navy Baby!!! He was born on 10/11/10 at 12:20 pm weighing 6 lbs. 13 oz and was 20" long. He is healthy and doing good.
We just got home and this Navy wife/mother of new born son is really tired, so I'll post pictures later. :)

Morning Ladies - Happy Tuesday.
I re-read some posts and I'm glad I did. I missed responding to some questions. Sorry.
DO- my treatments are till the end of January so I'm trying to figure out the whole Holiday scene. I usually cook Thanksgiving dinner for my husbands family, but not this year because it's on a treatment week. So we will see what we end up doing. It just might be TV dinner's for the hubby & son. LOL... No one wants me back on my feet more than those two. Their stomachs are suffering something fierce. =)))))
Patsproud - C. isn't in the JROTC. What's all involved. We want him to pursue his interests but not lock himself in at such a young age. We'd like to leave him wiggle room. We feel if you make a commitment you follow through.
Nicole - ME TOO!!!!!! October 25th is half way. Oi vey... seems like this is taking FOREVER!. LOL....
Mrs. B - I already got to see your beautiful TJ pics and he's a definite keeper. For all of you who don't know, some of us have Facebook pages and are connecting their too. Easier to post pics and stuff. You can friend me at: http://www.facebook.com/irisitemple
Have a fabulous, stupendous, marvelous, scrumptiliumptious day!
Yeah I had extra anti nausea meds last night that knocked my ass out and made me feel good this morning. Gonna be doing that on a regular basis. =)

Hey Iris! Hope Chemo time flies by so you can be DONE DONE DONE(:

Hiya! Well I didn't get as much done as I planned but still had a nice weekend. Hope you all did too.
Maureen - can't wait to see those Halloween pics. My son is going as the ultimate villain - Satan. He's 16, so please try to have a sense of humor and don't be offended everyone. He went to his Homecoming (Theme Hero's vs. Villains) Dance as this and was a huge success so he's holding it over for Halloween. I vey. It's rather simple. He just glued horns to his head and puts in some red contacts. I think the simplicity of the costume also appeals to him. I will post pics.
I'm with Nicole and Do about the meet n greet pics. I was so late and sick that I didn't make it. Boo....
Well I hope to be back on in a few days. Chemo Time Monday. Oh goody.=)
