Proud Navy Mom - hi, nice to hear from you. Congrats to you on your sailor finishing his training. I am so proud of all my N4M sailors and love reading how they are moving on in their new journeys of life. God Bless them all always and their families.
Reenie, super on hearing from Steph and that she likes it there. My brother and my first husband both loved Okinawa when they were there with the Army many years ago. Mine has finally settled in and enjoying his training and looking forward to his next step. Yes when they are happy we are. Thank God they both are happy.

Liz-thanks for posting the pics. I absolutely love the one that includes your sailor.
As I was reading the recent posts, I am struck anew at what strong women we have in this group, dealing with whatever God sends our way.

Hey Ladies! Just thought Id check in. My Navy baby has finished his training for Cermonial Guard, Yah! He recently bought a phone and has access to Facebook, so we keep in touch pretty regularly. He is doing so great and doesn't regret his decision to join. He has met some awesome young men and is excited to move on in the Guard. It has been a tough journey for (him and me)but all in all, things are great!

Hi Liz, so great to hear from you, I was asking around. I am happy to read that hubby is home and baby Parker is doing better. You and your family will always be in my prayers as you were one who went through the ups and downs of BC with us. Thank you for posting pictures. The children are beautiful.

Hello ladies!!!! Oh how Ive missed you all! I am now back to work full time so I dont get a whole lot of time to spend on the computer which kind of sucks because im quite the facebook junkie ;) Anyway...before I go back about 9 thousand pages to catch up on everything ill give you all a little update on whats happening around here. My husband is finally home! YAY!!!! Its definately wonderful having him here. Once you have someone gone you realize how much you have taken them for granted. He is just doing reserves so he is serving one weekend a month and two full weeks a year, well unless he gets deployed which is always possible.
My girls are doing great growing like little weeds of course. Parker is doing well too! Recently he went in to have a test done to see if he has something called laryngomalacia. They basically put a scope through his nose and into his throat. Turns out he does have it but I was told about 90% of babies who have it end up growing out of it eventually. As for his spine issue is is scheduled for an MRI on January 19th. We are still hoping and praying nothing comes out of this but if it does it was meant to be I guess. God will only put me through as much as I can handle.
I want to thank all you ladies once again for being here for me when Ive needed you! You all have been a complete blessing to me!
