Playdate at Anna's

Today was Caitlyn's first day back in gymnastics, but I couldn't get any pics of that because parents are only allowed to watch on the last day of the cycle, darn it. And being her first day back, she had to tell her instructor all about how she fell in the firepit at Mamaw's, oh how dramaticly she tells that story. After gymnastics we went out to her friend Anna's house so the girls could play. They all had a blast! They painted Halloween decorations, played princess, and Allison tortured their animals for the duration of the stay (she just wants to love them and hug them...). I knew it would have only been a matter of time before she climbed in the kitten's play house, and sure enough, she did!

I nearly missed talking to my bear today because of a major oops, but thank God he kept trying to get in touch and finally did (again Bear, I'm sorry!)! If only my cell phone got reception in the gymnastics building...! Anywho, for now he is still on the base, waiting to find out what will happen with all the missions (and enjoying crab legs for lunch)! I know all he can think of is coming home to his family, and that's all we want too. He learned that the civil affair teams missions are supposed to be completed by 08 Feb 08, which would put him on schedule to return by the 15th if it takes as long to come home as it did to get there. Every time the phone rings, the girls yell "daddy!" and come running. We just can't wait til the day he comes home!!!

Thank you all for your support and prayers!
