Birthday List

Take a look at the birthday list to the right and let me know what you think. I tried to make it where we could view it from here but it would not let me without each person logging in each time. I made it where you could change anything you need to or add to the information already there and we can all access it. Anyway, I hope it is helpful.

Talked to Tyrel!

Tyrel called us last night thinking Taylor was at work, so we got to visit a bit... he sounded really good and strong, eventhough he's lonely a lot of the time. He works odd hours (12 hr shifts) and since his last promotion, can't hang out with the guys he's used to because of the new rank. Please, please remember to pray for him. God's so faithful! He runs and works out everyday, so he's still in great shape. He's got a lot of responsibilities overseeing his group of guys... Mike and I are really proud of what all he's accomplishing.
I sent him a box of "goodies" which takes about 10 days to get to him... he said he opened it and ate 4 of the creme filled oatmeal cookies in 4 bites as he was digging through everything else! He loves getting snail mail, email or goodies, so if you can- let him hear from you. All our lives are so busy, it's easy for time to slip by! I have a hint for you IF you choose to send him a box of "goodies" like I did... there's a "flat rate" box for PFO and it's the one price for everything you can fit into it... it's a lot less expensive to go that route when sending him anything.
You can also email as he gets to check it once a week, or so. His spirits are great and he has 5 more weeks on this deployment... his birthday is also 2/26... so, if you're inclined, mail or email him a 'happy birthday" message.
Love to all!

How is Mike

I was just wanted to know how Mike was doing and if they ever figured out what it was

Wish You Were Here

As you read yesterday, Cason is sick with double ear infections and pink eye. Awesome, right? Anyway, since he was not feeling well yesterday there is not much he can do to entertain himself. He loves his Aunt Taylor so she did the entertaining for him. We wish so much that she was here, but since she is not, we made the best of it. I tried to get some of it on camera so that I could share it with you. Look closely at her face each time. It is priceless. Here are some things you can do when you are having a sick day.

You can count.

You can make funny faces. Check out Taylor's!
Making more funny faces.

You can play Peek-A-Boo.

He was having so much fun.

Yes, you can even share a snack. And, yes, Taylor put her mouth up to the screen so he thought she was eating it. So cute but hilarious too.

Thank you Taylor for making a sick day a fun and memorable one. You are a great aunt! We wish you were here, but we are thankful for web cam and hanging out with you that way.
