There is a link that says to add pictures and then you download them from your computer..I believe you can do it from your page by editing or from the main page on the top middle. :)
Hope your having an ok day, I am just exhausted today. Didn't sleep well last night, my mind wouldn't shut down. Tonight hopefully will be better :)

Hi Christy
Thanks for the tip. Yes I am exhausted also don't think I sleep more a than a couple hours a night maybe. Wow my mind is the same just keeps going like someone let the energizer bunny in there. But when I need to consintrate on something its mush. I think when we know where are kids are and hear from them then maybe we will be able to rest some.

today has been the worst day yet... i sat in a pile of his laundry as I was about to put it in the washer and just broke down.... thank god the mail wasn't running today. I wouldn't have been able to handle receiving that box...

Hi shannon, wow I know just hou ya feel I still have a flannel of Adams I wont wash because it smells like him, and I know this sound crazy but the first night he was gone I slept or at least lay awake in his bed and hugged all his blankies he keeps from childhood there. Oh I am afraid the box will come tomorrow............

We all sound the same, i am hoping your right Janeen ,when we finally hear from them we will be a lot more at ease. I feel like i am getting nothing done at home. I talked with my husband last night and he sounds so tired and ready to come home, i didn't want to breakdown on the phone with him so i remained strong. but as soon as i got off the phone, that was it. ah well...
