The Newest Addition

We are welcoming Baby #3 in June!!

We are all super excited to have another little one around. First timer big sister Cheyanne can't wait to feed HER a bottle and change her diapers. Second timer big brother Nathan can't wait to teach HIM to ride a two-wheeler, play baseball, run really fast and name him 'Rubber'.

Best Kids Band EVER!

Because I can't look at the Campbell Times post anymore! Here's a glimpse of the best kids band ever!

The Campbell Times

This is a clip from the local paper here in Campbell dated August 2007. We didn't even know it was printed until I googled Sal's name yesterday. Strange that he doesn't even remember being interviewed or taking a picture.
See page 4.

Mark the yellow ribbon is officially tied around the old oak (or other type of) tree. We're
impatiently awaiting your safe return.

Happy 2nd Birthday Cheyanne!

Cheyanne you are getting so big you little darling. Two is such a great age. You're pretty much expected to terrorize your family and society at large by demanding whatever you want whenever you want it. I know you will do us proud. Go for it!

Happiest of Bday's Dear Margie

Our Margie is another year wiser today.

We wish her all the happiness possible.

She obviously knows how to make the best of things (well she puts up with #3 doesn't she?)

Have a glass of Moet Chandon (Phill could you please run out and get a bottle?)

Enjoy.

The cuteness just takes the breath away.

Ride 'em Camel

This is from Saturday's adventure. It was really hot on Sunday so not many of us were allowed to ride. The baby stayed very close to Mama. When I started, there was no one here. When I finished there were about 30 waiting. Wonder if I was that entertaining?

Most of the pictures from my Iraqi adventure are posted on my Facebook account. Today we had an Iraqi Market near the base. The baby camel was pretty cute and stayed very close to momma.

Pictures of #3

It appears that #3 was MIA in 2008 so I thought I'd add a few cute pictures just in case you forgot what he looks like...OK, so maybe he's been a little busy.

Who is this adorable baby?

Here's a wonderful picture of Carmen from not so long ago. If it wasn't for the name on her paper bag hat, you'd swear it was Cheyanne!
