Almost Christmas time!
It is now a few days after Thanksgiving and our Anniversary, so now the next big event is the arrival of our new granddaughter, sometime in December. Michael and Leigh Ann are expecting around December 12th. Melissa and Aidden have been staying with us for the past month while Chris is away at military training school in Georgia and then off to North Carolina (their new duty station) awaiting housing. He will come back for Melissa and the baby at Christmas for their new start at Fort Bragg! Melissa, Aidden and I went to Omaha for a visit at the end of October and we will go again, this time with Sal, the week before Christmas. (Kaitlin missed seeing her Papa!) By then, our beautiful new granddaughter will have a name.... I have been petioning but have not yet prevailed. Sal went home last month to visit his dad in North Carolina. Melissa brought her 2 dogs and a cat to stay with us also, so that makes 3 dogs and 2 cats that always seem to end up in bed with me and Sal......For anyone wanting to get more animals than they have right now, STOP for just a moment and think long and hard! They are a joy, but there are just too many animals under foot all the time. Especially when you are in the kitchen trying to cook! Aidden is almost walking and says dada, mama and just now started saying "no" (We all say it enough to the dogs and when we tell them no - he points at them!) Kaitlin in in gymnastics class on Saturdays and I can't wait to see her again in a few weeks. (Check out Mike and Leigh Ann's blog for pictures of Kaitlin doing her gymnastics) (There is a link to the right). It is always hard to be away from the grandkids!! Sal and I are going on a cruise in late Feb-early March with some friends from Maryland, it will be a 10-day Caribbean cruise. We took a bit of a break from our traveling in 2007, just did alot of camping, and of course, trips to Louisiana and Nebraska. 2006 was a bit too busy with our trips to Germany, Lake Powell, Hawaii and all of the camping. Nephews Bryan and Frankie are as adorable as ever and are doing great in school. Merry Christmas to all!!!!!
