11

we had a productive day. but i need to back up to last night. Neilson called. he's on the move to his course he has to take and then will be at his final destination in a week or 2. no news from him really other than he's bored. oh, and he has no internet right now. he's also heard that the internet where he's going is not that great :( very slow so it looks like webcams are out but we'll see.
grace was upset she didn't get to talk to daddy last time so i made sure to wake him up. she talked to him for a few minutes and promptly went back to sleep. it was after 11 our time. sadly, she doesn't remember today but hopefully she'll get to talk to him during daylight hours soon.
we went to child and youth services this afternoon to enroll grace and creighton. during deployments each child can receive 16 hours free hourly care per month and after that it is only $2 an hour. each child also is elegible for 4 free classes adn 2 sports during the deployment. it is a real blessing and i wanted to make sure we were ready to go.
after that we ran to the commisary. our favorite bagger was there and came running over and loved on the kids. she still won't tell me her name so for now she is bagger 19.
this evening we went to the church for pageant practice. it really came together and i can't wait to see it tomorrow. grace is an adorable angel and is in the front. i am planning on getting a good seat to video it. we'll see if i can swing it.
so that is what we are up to. neilson still hasn't been able to look at the pictures and the blog but i know he'll love hearing about our antics these first few weeks.
