CaliValleyGirl: Picture Post
http://calivalleygirl.blogspot.com/2009/08/picture-post.html
Sunday, August 16, 2009. I have been a lazy blogger of late, but I wanted to post a few pics of life. Daddy is restraining the boy, so Mommy can take a funny picture. Daddy is restraining Susie, so that Mommy can take a funny picture. Big shoes to fill. And introducing the newest member of the family: Trixiebell*! 5 Days old (taken this morning). Just after the birth. I just had to compare this picture with a similar shot. Posted by CaliValleyGirl at 8:29 PM. You have the cutest kids! Homemade baby food ...

CaliValleyGirl: The US' Afghanistan Strategy
http://calivalleygirl.blogspot.com/2009/06/us-afghanistan-strategy.html
Monday, June 22, 2009. The US' Afghanistan Strategy. This is something I have been wanting to post about myself, but never got around to it. And now I don't think I need to, because Sarah hit the nail on the head. With my thoughts about the whole situation (actually she did it way better than I would have been able to.). I am really worried about how things are going to develop there, and I think that Afghanistan could easily develop into the quagmire that many feared Iraq would become. There is no leade...

Tuesday, June 10, 2008. Doesn't he look serious? Doesn't take much after mom or dad then.perhaps he will develop a sense of humor in the next couple of weeks or months.with parents like us, he better. So this is a blog post nine months in the making literally. She even placed one of her bones in the suitcase, thinking maybe if she packed something from her we would take her.and I believe this is her attempt at making it impossible for us to go without her.like I would have to zip the suitcase clo...So th...

CaliValleyGirl: Unbelievable
http://calivalleygirl.blogspot.com/2009/05/unbelievable.html
Thursday, May 07, 2009. But then againI don’t know why I am surprised at this. So the government wants to make a memorial to Flight 93 on the land where it crashed. Many landowners are amenable to selling their property to the government, but a few aren’tor perhaps they have set their prices so high as to make it basically prohibitive for the government to purchase. In my opinion: their prerogative. So what’s the solution? Tony Kordell said the park service visited him late Friday afternoon and made him ...

CaliValleyGirl: Props to Pelosi
http://calivalleygirl.blogspot.com/2009/07/props-to-pelosi.html
Thursday, July 09, 2009. I usually can't stand the woman, but, thank you Pelosi for this. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi shut the door Thursday to a resolution honoring Michael Jackson because debate on the symbolic measure could raise "contrary views" about the pop star's life. But I object to this:. Lawmakers are free to use House speeches "to express their sympathy or their praise any time that they wish," said Pelosi, D-Calif. "I don't think it's necessary for us to have a resolution.". They KNOW that th...

CaliValleyGirl: Very telling
http://calivalleygirl.blogspot.com/2009/04/very-telling.html
Monday, April 27, 2009. I just read this article. Where it was stated that since the media ban on coverage of fallen soldiers returning to the US has been lifted, that the majority of families have agreed (14 out of 19), which I find really surprising. I didn't expect there to be such willingness on the parts of families to share that moment with others.it shows a great generosity. On the part of the families of the fallen soldiers. But it was this paragraph that was most telling for me:. They have been ...

CaliValleyGirl: How do you say goodbye to a deploying solider?
http://calivalleygirl.blogspot.com/2005/01/how-do-you-say-goodbye-to-deploying.html
Wednesday, January 26, 2005. How do you say goodbye to a deploying solider? What do you do when someone you love is going to leave for a year? And not for a semester abroad, but to a combat zone? So that means the whole oooh, I can come visit you has to be scratched. And he also won’t be eating tapas all day and enjoying Brazilian nightlifenah, his daily activities will be a little more life threatening. I try to hide my contra-pity for their naivety. The ignorance that so many people still have abou...

CaliValleyGirl: Appreciation
http://calivalleygirl.blogspot.com/2010/10/appreciation.html
Tuesday, October 19, 2010. My husband has been deployed now for over 7 months. It’s definitely different this time around, having kids. I’m kept busier, and the time seems to be flying by faster. But it does make me sad, because he is missing so much. I have heard other military families express this same feeling, but I never understood it until I lived it myself.
