The moments we remember

This moment of rememberance is how sweet our children truly are.  Robert woke up very early to which I begrudginly left bed and got him from his crib.  In the twilight hours,  he took his blanket, his cup of milk and climbed into his favorite rocking chair and sat in front of the TV. He was so sweet and in that instant, my baby seemed so grown up.  For some reason, that moment will forever be etched in my mind.

To My Friends

I'm not a fancy writer and can't even begin to think of creating a poem to express how I feel.  I've been looking at pictures, reading emails and realize I miss my friends.  Now let me back up a bit.  You have to understand I'm a social person, but I'm a hermit at heart.  It is so hard for me to get out and hang with friends. I still can't figure this one out.  Maybe its because I know goodbyes are always hard. But once I do decide to hang with my friends, I have the best time.  I have some of the greatest friends in the world and I've never been able to say it enough to them... "I love you" and "I really miss you!"

So here is to my friends who have hung in there with me and have always been by my side.   Thank you.

Now, come visit me in Germany!!!!! 

AFN - It has arrived!

So what is AFN?  Armed Forces Network or the only TV we have in English.  I never thought I would be happy to see AFN again.  This is the military TV station and I must say in the past 16 years, they have made improvements.  They have more than 1 channel.  Yup, in the 80's we only had one television station unless you wanted to watch the German channels.  Another option was Sky Satellite, but then you are the only kid who knows more British singers from British MTV than you do American singers;  whose Justin Timberlake?

After a month and 1/2 of German TV and every movie Emma owns, we are up and live with AFN with about 25 channels.  Life as we know it is good.  We salute you, AFN.
