What about these accomadations?

Here are some pictures of Phil's box. Oops I mean room. Considering where he is at he has a pretty nice set up.

Best Invention Ever !

The Web Cam! For weeks we were not communicating much with Phil but he is lucky enough to now have Internet access in his room. Now Madison can see & talk to her dad almost every morning before school and at night before she goes to bed. What a difference that has made. She has such a big smile on her face when she gets to talk to him. Makes Life easier for me also. This is a shot of him last night. He is usually not that happy but we made him smile for the picture.

Cant forget the dog !

Cant forget our four legged family member Yukon. Phil's best buddy. Yukon really misses his dad. Just like the kids - listens to him perfectly - but so good for me. Keeps my feet warm at night while my hubby is away.

Back to Iraq !

Here is a picture of Phil in Iraq AGAIN. I cant believe the army makes families stay apart for 12 months! He is doing as good as can be expected and counting the days to retirement. Here is his address if anyone wants it:

Also, he has two cousins over there, they are brothers. Sam & Tony Nay. Here is their address:

New to Blogging !

Here are some family pictures we had taken just before Phil Left for Iraq. I hate having my picture taken. It really shows how much weight I have put on and all the gray in my hair :( My Friend Susan Stevenson took these pictures and I think she did a awesome job so I hope everyone enjoys.

Susan also took Mitchell & Kiara's Senior pictures. They came out great.
