Where we are now!

Ok, it has been a while for me to post to this blog!

I lost the password and the account was frozen so I had to reactivate it.

My son Tom who was in the sand (when I first created this bog to play with and then conveniently forgot about) is now in S. Korea. No I didn't forget about my son, just the blog! LOL He had been home a while from the sand before being stationed for his second time in Korea.

He was home here in Iowa this past summer with his daughter and we had a grand visit. It was the first time I had seen him in almost 2 years. My granddaughter has grown up so much from the time I last saw her. She lives in Florida with her mother, we don't see her often.

Many of us have myspace profiles. Mine is www.myspace.com/afdadcharles

I try to keep up to date pictures on it in my photo album there.

Mean while this past year brought us two new grandchildren, to our two sons that live here in Iowa. Kevin and Mira had a little girl Sept.1st, 2007 Jaymie LeAnne and Franklin and Sam had a new little boy, Kaydan Lee July 23rd, 2007. That brings us up to nine total grandchildren so far.

Our youngest daughter Beth is a Junior in HS this year, hard to believe she is that old now!

My wife Bonnie and I will celebrate our 18th Anniversary this coming year in April, 2008, and I will turn 50 years old soon after on the 14th! Now there is another hard one for me to realize! I'm going to be the big 50 this coming April! This will be the year I don't open birthday card's LOL! So if you send me a card, it better have $2.00 in it to make it worth the opening for the joke about being 50! LOL, just think if all the group of 500+ sent a card with $2.00 in it, I would have a grand birthday present of over $1000.00 LOL keep on dreaming! LOL

Ok, send those cards to P.O. Box 364, Bloomfield, IA 52537 LOL

My hope for this year is that I hadn't hurt anyone being the group moderator, and if I had, I want them to email me privately and let me know. I haven't intentialy said anything in a hurtful way but from what I have found listening to the group we can say think without even realizing it that can hurt someone! So if I hurt you I didn't mean too! I truly love this group of parents that support each other while their children sever their county in the AF!

I'm not a prolific writer like many of our Mom's on the AF Mom's and Dad's group, with their blogs! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/airforce_moms_and_dads/


I hope this year was good for you and this next year is even better!

many blessings,
Charles
