So its the day after Christmas. We are still in Oregon, and our visit has been really relaxing...almost too relaxing. I feel like I need to get off my butt and DO SOMETHING! haha
I did a pretty good job holding back tears as I skyped and chatted with my twins. Christmas surely was "different" this year. Different doesnt always mean a bad thing...just different. I told my kids that Christmas will never be the same for me again after this year...it will be better.
I have completed the tops to another pair of slippers to send to the troops. They will have felted wool from a sweater for the soles. They are fast and fun to make for the women in Kaylas company. I have also adopted another soldier to send gifts to. I heard about a young man not getting anything from home and I just cant handle that. No im not made of money but will enjoy sending boxes to 3 now instead of 2. I have already brainstormed the letter I will write him with his first box. He is stationed where my daughter is, and of course is in the same company.
Today I will post our family photo...some are missing but its also taken to share with them over there.
Aren't we blessed to have the ability to Skype in order to keep in touch with loved ones?

And there was another little one behind my husbands head...yes we have too many. Yes to Skype and Facebook...we are very lucky to have contact with them where they are.
