Hello USA- Yet another beautiful crisp and clean morning in Iraq- There ya go – Yep it does and always will say MERRY CHRISTMAS- My x e-mailed me and said that Sheila my youngest got ahold of the camera I gave her and covered it in baby powder – But Betty Ann my oldest came to the rescue!! – She washed it in the sink for her – She asked how to controll this etc – Man Bubba(he knows)- I really was proud and told her to take out the momery card and battery and let it sit a while and I will send her another memory card – What did I want to say? – Where was the people that should have been watching my daughters as they climbed the cabinets and then did all the above to the camera – I will not buy her another – Bad subject but kinda cute of Betty Ann to wash the camera to keep Sheila out of trouble – Speaking of trouble- there is none here and hope none, where all my friends are – Have a great day and remember -HOLD THOSE HEADS HIGH AND GODS BLESS ALL –JOHN

Your girls couldn’t be any cuter!!!
I bet you can’t wait for the ex to start putting that camera to use!
Hey 2 days in a row i was the first comment
only a little over a week before Christmas!!
We are in the clean-up stages of a nasty ice storm. I bet you’ve had some down in TX. You know… the kind that covers everything with a beautiful coat of ice that causes huge branches to crack and fall to the ground taking with them power lines, telephone and cable wires. We were only without power for 8 hours but some people may not get theirs back until Tues. We have heat and electricity and a bit of food so we are well off enough.
When I saw in the news that one soldier and two civilians were hurt on election day I was thinking about you. Are you considered a civilian? Glad it wasn’t you… Take care…(sometimes its downright impossible to watch kids ALL the time…that’s why God gives us guardian angels) jaywassailSC
Frustrating about the camera. Hope it works again! Those things aren’t cheap!
We got a free camera for doing something and Jayden dipped it in a cup of water when he was really little! I was just glad it was the free camera and not the 250 dollar one!
No, it’s not Texas Children’s, but it’s right down the street! And yes, parking is a killer! I wish someone or some group could come up with a way to help those poor parents out when it comes to parking. My Mom thinks it’s an excellent ministry idea. We’ll see!
Stay safe!
hey random propz…your girls are cute. Sorry about your camera…sisters do things like that to keep each other out of trouble…they don’t know any better.
Hi JOhn! What an adorable picture of your babies. Thank you so much for the compliments you gave regarding Cyndel. She is a good kid and has a good head on her shoulders, I hope she stays that way. It’s so hard here to maintain your principles, but she is doing a great job with it so far. She enjoys talking with you and I appreciate your talking with her. I am glad that things are safe there for now, I always worry about you. You take care and be safe and I will talk to you tomorrow.
Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hi John,
Cute picture. Go easy on the adults who were supposed to be WATCHING these girls… yeah, I know you have reason to worry, but kids get into and do the darndest things, in the blink of an eye!
love ya

Well, at least they didn’t try to cook it…lol I agree tho, why was the camera someplace they could reach it? Oh well, some folks I tell ya need a manual. lol How are ya? I love the card/pic of the girls. We want to know what kinds of stuff to send you, besides peanut butter cookies. Alina has plans to bake over school break for you. Then we will get a box off to you on or close to the first. Still waiting for YOUR address dear. Love ya, have a good day!
A funny (?) story about the camera but I have to agree with verucagirl; no matter how good a parent one is, the child will get into trouble at one point or another. Just hope your little ones make all their big mistakes while they’re still little. Down the road the camera will seem a minor thing and will be a memory that will bring laughter. The picture of the girls is so beautiful. Love to you, big guy!
I wish you would take that umbrella thing out of your drink, while you lay on the beach, soaking in the sun, as you write to us from Iraq.
You need to get a grip.
; )
how TOTALLY cute!!!!! dont be too hard on the adults watching your kids, at least not this time cause kids can be sneaky!!!!!! i remember when my younger nephew was mad at my older nephew so he tried to hide his pet fish on him but when he took it out of the water it flopped all over the place and he didnt know what to do so he put a rock on it to make it stop flopping and killed it (it stuck to the rock)… it was the saddest thing, but really kinda funny and one could say the same thing, where was mom? but the kids were here, we all were, and when they were fighting one got sent to their room who knew he was killing fish up there????
oh well… kids will be kids! that is what makes them so cute!
have a great weekend, L.
Aww love the card…the girls look so beautiful!!
KIDS WILL BE KIDS JOHN…remember when you were a kid..ha
BE SAFE MY FRIEND……..will be in touch soon.
Im in Texas now and will be here a week…..I will get in touch soon.
hugs and love
i’m not trying to get you going… sorry… was just trying to help.
RYC You’re right of course; none of us know the entire story of what your girls and you have been through. Take it from one who’s totally disabled now because of years of unmanaged asthma, that your dear one has no business living in the situation you described. She needs to be out of there at once. I hope the court will take her health into consideration and let you have them to watch after.
hah! thats funny
YES SIR!
yeah i think that is who i found ya from…I was just site hopping kinda bored at midnight. lol. How long have you been over there?
Oh no…definately a story that will live for years and be laughed over…my sisters and I share such memories. God Bless and keep you, Mary
OH, my! John….that story reminded me of when Kyle was 3 and he BABY POWDERED the entire back 4 rooms of our house! No real damage, but a huge pain in the butt to clean (took DAYS for the dust to settle)!!
You have a good attitude about it….bless those little girl’s hearts….how sweet….I SO AGREE ON YOUR THINKING!
Hey, thanks for going back and reading my posts…..much appreciated!!

Hiya John!!!!!!! Awww what a cute picture of ur girls. I swear each time I see time I see them, They get cutier & cutier hehe. Sorry about the camera, Kids get in to a lot of things (They are a curious little buggers) lol
Yea I too despise ice & it is sooo hard to walk on especially for someone like me. I am doing better though, Thanks for asking.
Well I usually don’t enjoy the cold lol but for you, I guess I can do that hehe. Actually I’d be more then happy to send it ur way. How does that sound hehe. Hope u have a great weekend my dear friend. (((((((((((((((Big Hugs))))))))))))))))….Amanda
Oops sorry to many “I see them” LOL…..dang typos hehe.
Ah well. Take care
RYC: I love my snow. Definitely prefer it to rain this time of year.
I so love children and the way they think. It’s dirty so let’s wash it. LOL What a priceless pair they are. Keep enjoying those Blessings.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, Darling!
Those BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRLS!!!! And I’ll just bet that won’t be the last thing they sneak and get into. Too cute, the sister washing the camera so she wouldn’t get into trouble!! In a while, you’ll be laughing about it, and won’t it be a hoot, telling it on them when they’re older!!! As for watching them closely, YOU JUST CAN’T WATCH THEM CLOSE ENOUGH!!! After our sons grew up, one of them told how he’d found some cigarettes when he was small, (don’t know where….we didn’t smoke) and decided to hide in the dog house to smoke it!!! It’s lucky he came out of that alive. We always had oodles of straw in the dog house!!! OK now, fess up. Just what do YOU remember “sneaking” and doing? Or are you gonna tell me “Nothing”. Hey, I’m a Granny. I KNOW BETTER!!! Take care buddy, we care about you and what you’re doing back here. Granny
I swear your girls get more prettier every time I see them..I love my digital camera…Baby powder..hehe..Ghosts in my attic:O Do you think?..lol..I hope not..I most def. wont be up there anytime in the near future..I just stood in the same spot the whole time..I was to scared to move..lol..Them lips in the previous post is just down right cute..lol..Have a good day!!
Cyndel
Those sure are pretty little girls.
I hope Santa is good to them!
