Catch-UP!!

WOW!!!!!! Time flies when you are unpacking and settling in!!!
Currently I am unable to load pictures. I haven't a clue why, but as soon as I get it fixed up I will give you a little tour of our new pad!
The latest news...

Paddy will deploy in August.

Erin cut her hair and now has a little "boy" cut. She loves it and says she " looks like Tinkerbell"...picture coming soon I hope.

Shannon and Erin have made fast friends with the neighbor girlies and look forward to the school bus dropping her off everyday at 4;15. Little Miss R is 7 and not to cool to hang with 4 year olds. They have been riding bikes and scooters. They shared an Easter Egg hunt the day after Easter, courtesy Miss R's generosity to share her treasure.

Patrick has started his job of Chief of Medicine at RACH and loves loves loves it!!! His first and well accepted project of starting an infusion clinic is underway. It should hit the Appropriations Committee in DC for review in July.

I have been unpacking and settling us in. Our move was the smoothest we have experienced. Nothing broken and the load was delivered a day early! Our truck driver hung out with us for a week, waiting for another load. In that time he helped me unpack and arrange furniture, hang pictures and drapes. He was a FABULOUS guy and we made a great friend that week. We hope to hear from him whenever he comes through this area.

We had a great time with our Northern family. We spent two days with mike and Pam and kiddos in Wisconsin. It's is always a BLAST to hang with Pammy. She's my soul mate seesta!!! Then we went for a visit to see Kim and Tim. Kim had the coolest brownie pan EVER and I will post a blog on that when all is cooperative, BECAUSE!!!!! for my birthday she sent me one and I look forward to some supper yummy brownies with extra edges! Thanks Kimi!!!! There we picked up the boat and headed home. BUT...n0t before a much needed and well enjoyed visit with auntie Rose. She is always the high light visit of our trip North. I want to be Rose when I am 83!!!!

So now we are back in Lawton. We are so happy to be "home" I called it our home because this was our first home as a married couple and when we came back we slipped right into that calm simple life we so enjoyed. The girlies are all signed up for nastics and are one of three....YES THREE!!! sets of twins in their class. The poor little 7Th girlie is a singleton and she looks kind of lonely.

Thank you to all that have called and emailed your kind words of support to us in our great time of need. We feel so loved by those of you who have made daily effort to call with encouraging words....we wouldn't have been able to survive this without you and in this we have found our truest and most steadfast friends and family...MMMMMWHA!!!! a BIG KISS to you all and muchmuchmuch love your way.!!!!
