Letters & Packages

I have had lots of people ask me what Brian could use in a package, so I thought I would just post it here, though please don't feel like I'm asking you to mail him one. I will say that even a letter or an email would make his day. Anyway, in answer to those wondering, he loves just about anything in a package! He could really use some more phone cards as he's on his last one and that's how we talk. I'm getting him another one ASAP, but it sounds like that's something he can always use. . He's at the office most of the day and they have a microwave there. Also, the only thing they have to drink is bottled water, so he really enjoys the crystal light packets to put in water...it doesn't have to be crystal light brand, but any "flavoring" for water is great, he said they LOVE those (and I stole that idea from Chey). I keep prodding him for what he wants/needs and other than some things he needed me to send from around the house, he hasn't told me many specifics. But when he gets a package or a letter, I can always hear that it's a good day. He can't check the blog from that base, so he won't be seeing this. I copy and send him the blog posts usually. So, if you have a blog, Brian can't check it, but feel free to copy and email him any fun blog enteries, I know he'd REALLY enjoy it! And thank you all so much, I've gotten so many phone calls and emails myself and Brian and I just feel so blessed to be so taken care of. Alright, I am off to bed, I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Just as they say!

Everyone is always saying how strange it is that Nolan can look SO much like me and SO much like Brian at the same time. I thought this little "quiz" would decide once and for all, but it looks like Nolan really does look just like his Momma & Daddy! Thanks to Dawn who posted this meter on her blog, what a cute idea!

Funny Nolan Story

Oh, my sweet boy. Today I picked him up from Mom's Day Out and told him as we were heading for the car I had a suprise for him. I had bought him a small stuffed elephant at the same place Mousey was born (old navy, of course). I meant to have it sitting in his car seat, but forgot, so after I strapped him in, I said, "Are you ready for your surprise?" He said, "Ready." (Partly because he mostly repeats the last word I say). So I went to the trunk, grabbed the adorable elephant and gave it to him and said, "Surpriiise. Isn't he cute?" and Nolan looked so sad and said, "prise? prise?" And I said, "This IS your surprise! An elephant!" And he got all teary-eyed and said louder (the pieces started coming together at this point): "Fries? FRIES? FRIIIIEEES?" Oh my goodness. Sorry kiddo, no french fries. SURPRISE, not fries. It took some explaining, but he eventually got it and snuggled that cute green elephant up good.
