Happy Thanksgiving

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Quinn said Thanksgiving over there was pretty good. The candied yams were his favorite (that would figure...it's sweet). Bubba and I had dinner here together. I made a traditional Thanksgiving dinner minus regular vegetables since I don't like them anyway. I made the turkey with stuffing and mashed potatoes. I also put an apple crisp together for dessert. Everything came out ok. Not as good as Thanksgiving at my parents, but good enough. Although it was quiet, we had a nice time. I'm resting up to battle the crowds tomorrow!

A few pictures from Iraq

Quinn sent a few pictures from Iraq. He doesn't usually like taking pictures so I think he asked a few of the guys to send him some that they have taken. Either way here are a few he emailed

3 months

Although it seems as though there's less and less to say as the months past, I thought I'd at least acknowledge that we're 3 months down now. It hasn't been fun but with him calling/emailing every couple days it's been ok. He's doing fine. There have been a few issues but overall pretty quiet out there. They have their own little space now which he was pretty happy about. I sent out his playstation. I keep joking that he's in paradise with sand, warm weather, and the ability to play all the games he wants without me complaining. My sister's first grade class is sending cards and possibly care packages over to his platoon and his brother as well. Hopefully the next few months will go by quick with the holidays.
