I feel a Breeze!!!

There seems to be a breeze. This afternoon I went to our local beautician and had 14 inches of my hair cut off! Wow, what a difference! I donated it to "Lock's of Love" ( http://www.locksoflove.org/ ). I mailed it right away and I feel really good both inside and out. I'm not sure if I am going to keep it this way or style it a bit, but for now it will still be easier to care for during my recovery time. I had Catlyn and Patrick take some pictures of the whole thing so you all can see too. This was a 3 year project to get to the minimum 10 inches. I actually haven't had my hair cut short for 17 years, so this is quite different for me.

Yep, that's me the green blob with the new doo! I supposed I could have picked a better blouse and a better pose along with a smile. I just wasn't paying attention to the camera. Oh well, next time. I feel great, but I'm just not sure about the look. If anyone has any style ideas let me know. I'm all ears! LOL! Hoping to hear any and all comments! Also hoping to inspire others to donate too. Until next time, Take Care and God Bless!

Tiger Cruise!

Hi Everyone!
Don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but Thanks to my Mom-in-law you all are getting the info. Although there are only actually a few days left to register (fill out paperwork and get it back to Tommy via email) it is possible to get a chance to go on the Tiger Cruise on board the USS John C. Stennis with Tommy! Not only that but this cruise has some special events along with it. First they are having an air show and next they are showing the new Transformer movie and will have some of the actors on board as well. So anyway if you are interested you need to do 2 things. 1) Email Tommy ( tom.fields@cvn74.navy.mil )and tell him of your interest and 2) got to the ship's website http://www.cvn74.navy.mil/home.html and get the forms to fill out and then you have to email them to Tommy to turn them in. I realize this is very short notice but if you want to and you hurry, (as there is like 3 days left I think, June 10th) hurry like the wind! So good luck and Happy Sailing!!!

PS... BTW, on the first page of the Stennis website, somewhere in the sea of blue, is our one and only Tommy! It's a little like playing Where's Waldo, so good luck finding him. If you need a clue just ask.

Oh What a Night!!!

This is short, but oh so sweet!!! Catlyn received a $500 scholarship! We are so excited and proud of her.
Way To go Catlyn!!!
Now if we can just convince her to use it!!!

HEAR YE, HEAR YE!!!!

Great news just in!




We just found out that Catlyn is graduating with honors! She has a GPA of 3.276 and is one of about ten in her class to graduate with honors.



And not to be out done by his baby sister,

Tommy has just made Petty Officer Third Class!!!!



Great news to share with all! Tom and I are very proud of our kids. Including Sammy, Bryon and Nick! BTW, I was negligent and didn't post that Nick past his EMT class and not only that he was 2nd in the entire class!!! So kudos to all my kids!

The Pedro File!

Hello everyone! I finally got Tom to scan the ultra sound pictures of Sammy's Baby! I'm putting these on while Sammy is here so she can give me the details. Hopefully I will still get it all correct. (Don't know how I got the underline got here but it's here and I can't seem to get rid of it. Oh well...)
These are 4 months. (16 weeks) 4-6-09
Top left is Pedro's foot. Top right proves he's a Pedro and not a Paula!
Bottom left shows Pedro's head and hand and bottom right shows just about a full body shot.

These also are 4 months (16 weeks). Except for the bottom left, which is 4.5 months (18 weeks).
Top left shows Pedro's right hand. The upper right shows Pedro's left hand.
The bottom left was taken on 4/27/09 and is a 3D image of Pedro.
The bottom right is a 2nd photo proving Pedro's manly disposition!

These last 2 are also taken with the 3D imaging.

Just profile shots, but they are pretty amazing.

So these are the latest for the Pedro file.

Until next time, Take Care and God Bless!

Was that March that just Whizzed by???

Geepers and Golly, so much has happened, and where to begin... Well, I still think there is something in the air... every time I turn around I have heard of people dying or I'm hearing of impending births. We have lost a lot of friends in our little town and a couple of family members in the last year. On the other hand and brighter side of life we have seen and will see quite a few couples begin a new life as one. In fact today is one couples wedding. Wish I was there... And then we have heard of many new birth arrivals and soon to come births. The most recent is our son Tommy and his girlfriend Meggan. The are due in November around the 14th. He is very excited and unfortunately in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on a WEST Pac until July. So keep Meggan in your prayers as she goes through the first half of the pregnancy with out Tommy. She has lots of support around her, but it's just not the same as having Tommy here with her.
Big news for Sammy and Bryon! They had their first ultra sound of the baby and first of all its only one, as Sammy says a big "WHEW!" and 2ndly it's a ... well I don't want to spoil it for you if you want to be surprised, so if you want to find out mail me or Sammy and we'll be happy to tell you. I hope to have a copy of the ultra sound to post today.
Tomorrow's Easter, so have a Blessed Easter to all and be joyful for He is Risen! Till later...
