It has been FOREVER since Ive blogged.  Believe it or not I do still read a lot of your posts, but I just haven't had time to post or comment.  School has been busy.  When N got home I found it almost impossible for me to work while he was home (he took 3 weeks off), so I got behind in my classes.  Thus when he went back to work (two weeks ago) I was left to scramble to catch up and get back on track.  I am getting there, but I feel like I just barely have my head above water this semester.  I am SOOOO ready for graduation (in May!).  Next semester I will only have 2 classes so that will be much better.

K is doing great in school!  She is loving pre-school this year and doing some cool stuff!  She came home on Thursday saying she had learned about air resistance, and showed us how a paper falls differently when you hold it differently.  It was very cool!  We had a scare on Thursday when her teacher accidently gave her 3 peanut butter cookies (she's allergic!) and everyone freaked out.  Luckily K has no reaction what so ever, so we think she my be growing out of that allergy.

M is also enjoying him 2 day a week mom's day out program.  He is having a hitting and kicking problem, but we are working on it.

Halloween was lots of fun!  M was Spider-Man, and K was a princess.  My parents came down for the weekend.  It was lots of fun!

So that's where I've been!  I'll try to post more, but no promises until this semester is over.

Operation Holiay Card is starting up again, so things will get even busier!  :)

Operation Holiday Card is up and running again this year!  This is a wonderful program that distributes Christmas, Hanukkah, and holiday cards with short personal messages to troops deployed overseas during the holiday season.  This program was a huge success last year collecting over 16,000 cards.

            I am asking people to write a note to an unknown service member inside your card, seal it, and send it to the address below.  Cards can be for Christmas, Hanukkah (please write this on the back of your envelope), or general Season’s Greetings.  Your words of support mean so much to these men and women.  Remember each card you send is another service member touched.   

            This program works because individuals take this initiative to spread the word and collect cards with in their lives.  Please pass the word about this project to everyone you know.  Feel free to post it in your journals, other communities, promote it in your workplace, or your place of worship.  One woman from my church last year collected 200 cards in her workplace. How many cards can you collect?  Cards can be sent to:

Operation Holiday Card
226 Albany Ave  

Shreveport, LA 71105

            This year’s deadline will be Dec. 3, all cards must be received in Louisiana by that time.  The cards will need plenty of time to get overseas.  I thank you for your support of this wonderful project.  There is so much support for our troops as they spend the holidays away from their families.

Thank you and God Bless you,
