News

Hi all. I have some news concerning Paul. Apparently he won't be coming home until the end of July. Silvia called and was sort of upset, she misses him a lot, but she knows he has to do what he has to do. I'm not that glad about it either, especially with the escalating violence. She is going to send me his address and we are going to send him a care package. I have to find out if he's allowed to have chocolate and chips etc. They have nothing to do, so I'm sending some pocket novels and some Sudoku puzzles.
Also, of course, they won't be able to come visit this summer as they had planned. Silvia had to plan her vacation a while ago and she had two weeks in July booked off, so she's stuck with that. So I think Jim and I will drive and spend a week with her. She really has no other family besides an Aunt who lives in Toronto.
The other thing I wanted to say is that Paul is no longer relatively safe inside the Base Camp. The parts that they need for the tanks have not arrived, so he is doing guard duty outside of the Camp.
Last week, when eight Canadian soldiers were killed, Silvia was almost paralyzed until they released the names. She freaks when a car looks like it may be coming into her driveway. I can't imagine what she is going through. May God help them and protect them both.
Thanks for listening guys.
Next blog will be more about my excellent adventure in Nfld....
Love to all

Hi I'm back

Hi.....I'm back! Look at these two lovely people.....pretty in pink! Caitlyn is sooooooooo sweet! She smiles at everybody, but it's hard to capture her smile on camera. Once you point the camera at her, she is trying to figure out what it is..then when the flash goes off.....she smiles!!! Hehehehe.
She's getting very brave now...standing alone....she doesn't like to be confined..she needs her freedom. If she crawls away from you and you say "Where are you going?"..she immediately starts to crawl faster. And if you happen to be 62 years old and crawling on your hands and knees...well, guess who wins? Hehehehehe.
I had a great visit..it was so good to see my family again. However the weather sucked....big time! I love Nfld....but not in April.
I have more pictures but I have to resize them etc, etc, etc.
Eric and Jamie and Travis are great..as are Michelle and Todd.
Now Caitlyn has a big basket full of toys, and another big box full of toys...but she seems to prefer the coffee table! Luckily she's a tad too short to reach what's on it. However, she did discover the TV and the buttons on the front. Also, she likes to read magazines...after they are ripped to pieces! She's so cute!!!!!!!
Oh, and no matter what she is doing, when a commercial comes on, she stops and looks at it..she loves commercials. She dances to the music. What I can't figure out is how she knows it's a commercial!!!!
Okay....I suppose I've bored you to tears with the story of the greatest and most beautiful baby in Nfld.
So...let me tell you about Jamie and Eric! Hahahahaha...just kidding.
Just one thing though...I can still bribe Jamie into watching my reality shows with me as long as I scratch his head.
Well, I'll go for now..will blog again as soon as I get my pictures fixed up.
Lots of love all
Marsha....ciao
