I'm figuring this stuff out

So, a few "help me" phone calls and I think I am getting the hang of this Blog thing. Ben thinks it is a cool idea and I think I am going to put the web address in our Christmas Letter so all of our friends and family can see what we are up to. I hope we don't disappoint because we aren't usually up to anything other than working and trying to get the house in order from the move. Ben is sick and tired of painting and I'm just sick and tired...lol.

Ashley has settled into her new school and Daniel is finally feeling at home and has been a "Big Boy" all week. I missed them so much while I was gone for the last two years, but I think we are finally settling in to our family routine.
Just like Susie, I am a fellow Stampin' Up Stamper. I missed not being able to create over the past few years, but Ashley loves to stamp and made her very own Halloween Cards this year. She was so proud. Daniel likes to stamp and make cards too. I think he gets more ink on himself then he does the paper, but I don't mind one bit because it is something I can do with them that we all enjoy...and it gives Daddy a break from all of us :-)

Well I was asked where the pictures were, so LtCol Miller here's some pictures just for you. Thanks for asking for them.
I know some of these are older, but I like them just the same. This photo was taken at Point Loma, CA. I loved San Diego and miss it very much. The only thing bad about SD was that Ben and the kids were not there with me, so we made the most of each visit we had.
Yes, I am in the military and just got promoted to Chief Petty Officer! That is a HUGE promotion in the Navy...not monetarily, but career wise it is a major milestone. I was so glad that I was able to share the day with Ben and the kids. The kids of course got bored and were off wrestling in the background somewhere :-)
Ah, breakfast with Disney Characters. Every child's dream...oh, and the kids too :-) We had a great time and the kids loved getting autographs from all the characters. I'll tell you one thing though, Disney isn't going under any time soon. At $50 bucks a pop that was the most expensive breakfast of my life!

I finally gave in

OK. So I finally gave in and did what I told everyone I would never do...set up a Blog online. I guess I just have to get with the times and do it. I have no clue how all of this works but will play around with it until I figure it out. Susie, just one more thing I can call and bother you about
:-)
