Florida! And a new baby too!!! Congratulations. You will be exactly where you should be -- with your expanding family. I do envy you going to FL. I'll be headed to upstate NY in early March for the same event and I can promise you the weather won't be nearly as nice then. But that's fine with me. This is our first grandchild and we just found out the baby is a girl. So we are excited beyond words (since we had 2 boys). But truth be told, I'd have loved having a grandson just exactly as much!
Hi Lisa! Sorry this is so late getting to you (I've been so overwhelmed lately). We opted to have a packing party on Nov. 6th at Lesli's house in Wellesley. Do you think you could make it? We'd love to have you. Let me know and I'll get you directions, etc.
Take care.
Hey Lisa, where exactly is Spofford, NH? Just curious. With our recent move I can never seem to find what I want when I want it, this time it is our Maps/Atlas that has gone missing? I just talked to Lesli today, I think that we will plan something for mid-Oct. before things get crazy for everyone with the holidays. We'll keep in touch.
Donna
Hi Lisa! So you are know a resident of beautiful NH! We moved from there just over 9 years ago and returned to MA where our aging parents are. I suppose it was a good decision, but I do miss the town we lived in: Pelham, right on the NH/MA border. It was just far enough to feel we had some space. Now my Dad is dying from pancreatic cancer so it is very good to be close to him. Sometimes it is awfully hard because I have 6 siblings and everyone's feelings of grief over his impending death are raw. But it is nice to meet you. It may be a packing party of 5 - all new. I haven't been able to reach the usuals yet. Probably busy with back to school/end of the summer. I'll let you. But tell me about your sailor son...
Hi Lisa, Thank you for your nice message! We just got home from taking Kevin to Portland where he'll stay the night & fly out tomorrow to GL. It was a long ride home after leaving him. We are so very proud of him & look forward to that quick phone call home in the next couple days!
I think my computer must have had a glitch because I thought I read something about my threading your sewing machine. Please tell me you're kidding? If you need help I'm sure I can help without shipping being involved. LOL
Not a problem, at all :) I'll be sending it, to you, tonight.
I had this up, on one of the groups, but was told I wasn't able to do that. I knew there wasn't any last names, didn't know about no first names. They were really polite about it :) I just thought a lot of Navy Moms, girlfriends, spouses, ect..... would want one......whether to put it on their page and/or send it to their love ones.
I can put a different name. If he goes by "Chris" it probably would look better. It's not a problem, either way
I see you have gotten adjusted and you have joined the New Moms Stop Here group. You don't need to have friends to get information from this site. Just relax. I have been "mentoring" many new members and above a certain number, I won't be effective; therefore, I am “graduating” a few of you who appear to be well-adjusted and have learned the ropes. In the Forum, on “How to Do Stuff On N4M” I have posted a number of topics which will help you navigate this site. I am not far away. If you need me, you’ll find me on a daily basis in the SF Bay Area Navy Families group (click on link). That is my “home” group where I am the creator/admin. Best of luck to you and your sailor. Regards, BunkerBee.
WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!! I see you're a quick learner :)
You're welcome very much!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm always making Navy graphics n such. I'll post more. :)
