Found a neat link for you guys, right to the Dept of Defense. All the news transcripts, photos, press releases, and more. Of course, I checked out my main man Don I just love him! Must be that thing for the older guys...
Busy Saturday so far. Olivia kept waking up last night before we went to bed. Finally, brought her out in the living room to she could calm down for a little while. Talk about gas! The poor kid - kept SODs (Stepping on Ducks aka farting) BIG time (she takes after her father - what can I say?). Must have been the hot dogs and all the fresh veggies she had for dinner. Lovely. I get her tucked back in bed by 1215am. We crashed by 1245am. 1AM - Waaaaaaaaaah! I get up and get Miss O (again!), head back into the living room and plop down in the recliner to cuddle.You know, little kids are so darn snuggly and warm. Next thing I know, it's 315AM and she is still sound asleep in my arms! Tossed (not literally!) her back into bed and I crawl back into mine. Back up again at 8AM. My Dad and StepMom came down for a quick visit. The girls were thrilled to see Gampa and Nana Millie! They leave - the girls eat lunch. Olivia in for a nap. While she is napping, I made cookies - a LOT of cookies. I am now cooling off about 100 chocolate chip cookies on my dining room table. My house smells pretty darn yummy. Paul will be hanging the lights outside. Better him than me - it's *really* windy out there and cold to boot. 47 degrees. I don't know what the wind chill factor is but I am glad I am not hanging any stinkin lights!
