Notes

I got mail today
My first letter from Daddy
He misses me lots

(haiku by the Little Mister)

I've been thinking about mail lately (obviously). On my last post many people commented on how much they like to get "real" mail - just like me! - so I thought I'd spread some love, via the post office. Would you like to find a postcard in your mailbox? Email your address to me - dragonflywings27 (at) yahoo (dot) com - and I'll send you a postcard from Europe!

Angela at Memoirs of a Chaotic Mommy gave me a bloggy present!


She sent me some love because I'm living without the Sergeant...just like she's living without her deployed husband right now.

I get to share some love too...

To Mary Beth and Helen, who sent me a surprise when I was having a rough time, and also to their sister Amanda...because their family is dealing with some rough stuff at the moment.

And to Mrs. Staff Sergeant, another military wife, who is pregnant with baby #3! (I needed lots of hugs when I was pregnant...a cyber-hug can't hurt, right?)

  3. Aw, what a sweet haiku! My man and I have been living in different states since February, and it's not easy, but it's got to be even tougher for you with that much distance in that situation and with a cute little one, too. Real mail really does rock!

  5. Thanks so much for the love :) A much needed smile while I run the ark. Today is escape day at the ark, so far three animals have escaped from their various confines.

  7. Thank you so much for the bloggy love! It is really appreciated today (not that it wouldn't be any other day, but it's the end of the week, and we're so tired and acts of kindness like this make me feel so good!)

    I love your blog - the little mister is just too cute!

  9. It is so good to have something to be able to hold in your hands like a real letter. Especially that mail from deployments. Where do they get that stationary, anyway? I always got letters on it from basic on, but I have never actually seen it anywhere. Hmmm...

  11. Wow. It's like the Little Mister suddenly stopped being a Baby and became a Boy. But he's still sooooo cute.

  12. Well gee, thanks for the love! You're right- we preggos do need extra attention don't we? Not that we're extra emotional or anything. *cough, cough, ahem*

    And once again, another great shot of the little mister! He's getting big!

  14. Women have a way of weaving gentle love and support into tight nets...we don't let each other fall. Just one more reason women rock. ;)

    I love the photo!
