Holiday Mail for Heroes
PO Box 5456

The deadline for this year is December 10th. Unfortunately, if your cards are not postmarked by December 10th they cannot be delivered. After Pitney Bowes collects and screens the mail received in the PO Box, Red Cross workers deliver holiday greetings to service men and women in their communities. Check out how our uniformed men and women and their families expressed their gratitude for the Holiday Mail program when it delivered cards to Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

long time

I realize this might be the longest I went between posting something. It has been crazy. Jerry was gone for 9 weeks traveling to audition rotations. He was home for 3 days and left again for his last set of boards, in Philly. He is on his way back home, but it is short lived. He will leave again on Sunday to go to his last traveling rotation in California. Jerry has 2 interviews coming up. One is in Dayton and the other is Columbus Ohio. These are his top 2 picks. So, we are hoping he matches to one of them. As of right now it looks favorable. We match in 3 months, on Valentine's Day, how sweet!!! It's been a crazy journey. We are excited for the next step. I'll get posting some new stuff of the kids soon too.

Grocery Smarts

Anybody who knows me, knows that I love "Grocery Smarts". I talk about it all the time and how much money I didn't spend. Well, today I had another huge day of savings, so I thought I would compile a list of everything I got. My total out of pocket was $8.47(which should have been $6.47, for coupons I forgot to use. But that's another story). This is what I got for that.
2 tubes of colgate total toothpaste
2 bottles of dial body wash
2 all in one purex laundry soap/softener
1 bottle method laundry soap
3 arrid deodorants
1 bottle dawn dish soap
1 bottle dawn foam dish soap
2 bottles dial foam hand soap
1 container utterbalm lotion
1 lime away toilet bowl cleaner
1 box store brand qt bags
1 bottle act mouth wash

I believe that's it. Pretty good huh!!!

Sophie's 6 month photo shoot

Skinny Minnie

Everybody knows Bel is skinny, but this is funny and sad all in one. She put on Sophie's 3-6 mo pants. They actually fit her well as Capri's. I had to take a pic while she had them on to show off the size.

1st meal

Ohhhh she says that was good. She loved her first bowl of rice cereal. She's growing up so fast!

Jerry passed his step 2 boards! He is so close to being "Dr. Huebsch". I'm very proud of him and excited at the thought of us moving on soon. Now he just has to pass the clinical boards in November. Which should be a lot easier than the written portions.
