18 Days

Well, we made it back home from Kansas SAFELY!!!! The trip to Kansas was pretty eventful. We were very happy to finally make it to my parents house.

Jolie is doing wonderful. She is growing like a weed and she is finally getting some hair on her head. Her hair is very thin, so when she gets out of the bath tub she looks like she just has a bunch of fuzz stuck up there. She has started sitting up more on her own, the only problem she has is keeping her from falling sideways. She had a great, first Thanksgiving. She even got to try some mashed potatoes and gravy. She was very spoiled over the visit.

Dean is doing fine. He has found out when he will be leaving Iraq to come home for his R & R. If you have any questions about the time when he will be home just let me know and I will get back to you. We miss him so much and I am sure these next several days will go very slow.

I am doing good for the most part. I just miss my husband and wish this deployment was over. We will be home for the next several days and I will be cleaning the house so that when Dean comes home it is nice and tidy. Roscoe is very happy to be at home. He missed us over Thanksgiving and I think he missed his recliner.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving.

Love,
Teresa and Jolie

November

Hello everyone!!! I hope everyone survived Halloween and the candy buzz afterwards.

Jolie is doing great. She was a pumpkin for Halloween, and she was so cute. She is growing so fast. She is a little piggy just like her momma and daddy were when they were little. She can gobble that milk down so fast and you better always have a spoonful of food ready for her. She is playing in her Exersaucer now. She finally understands that there are toys to play with.

Dean is doing fine. We still do not know when he will be home for his R&R. He is still going out on 3 to 5 day missions but they have improved alittle because his patrol base now has Internet. This was very exciting for us because I was finally able to see him, and I was so happy to see his smile. The first picture of him is with a pair of Ak47s. And the next one is of him and one of his soldiers after a mission.

I am doing good. I am looking forward to the 17th of November when I will be going back to Kansas to see my family. I am so excited, especially because I get to have Thanksgiving Dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Besperat's house, and we all know what that means...PIE!!!!! I am sure everyone will be very excited to see Jolie. And the other great thing about the trip is that We will be able to eat at Effies. She makes the best Hamburger in all of Kansas.

Well I had better get going, I think I hear my little Pumpkin waking up!!!!

Love, Teresa and Jolie
