Good morning everyone. It's a somber day for me today. On this day, 86 years ago, my father was born. This is the 1st time he is not here for us to celebrate it. He went to be with the Lord this past April and I'm an emotional basket case today. I'll get through it though. That man was my hero and I will forever love him. Happy birthday in heaven dad.

Thanks Ed. Dad would like that as well as that beautiful sunrise. He loved fishing and loved being by the water.

Absolutely. He was in the Lucky 7th Armored division in the European theatre. I have his bronze star for meritorious service during the Battle of the Bulge.

Adam - I am so sorry for your loss. Knowing what a wonderful person you are, I can tell your dad was a great man.

MY dad was in the battle of the bulge also, not his div they moved some from his company to replace some soldiers.

copy from web site:

The Battle of the Bulge took place between Dec 16, 1944, and January 25, 1945. The 69th began to arrive in England in December 1944. On December 25, 1944, the 69th was called on to furnish 2,200 men as replacements for battle-worn and decimated Divisions in the Bulge fighting. Some of these men, and others, may have returned to or been transferred the 69th after the Bulge was over - and of they course could lay claim to being in the battle, but not as a member the 69th. There were many replacements to the 69th from battle-rested Divisions as the 69th moved across Germany to its final meeting with the Russians on April 25, 1945.

The infantry regiments were the frontline troops. The 69th was comprised of three regiments - 271st, 272nd 273rd. The Unit histories of these regiments written immediately after VE Day (May 9, 1945) show the 271st assuming position on February 10, and the 272nd and 273rd on February 12. Therefore, we can see that the 69th Infantry Division itself did not participate in the Battle of the Bulge.

So sorry Adam, I can only imagine what a sad day this must be for you ~ you're in my thoughts today


Ok mom, I'm checking in before I leave . . . bus leaves at 1, I'll be headed out for the bus station at noon


So rave (can I call you that ? ) you wanna know who cleans the little faces? Well, usually no one, we just don't have the time . . . but, if they eat something really messy, it's usually just who ever gets to them first . . .

How's everyone else today?
Plans?

YAY!!! Tomorrow I am getting a day out just me and Sammie!!! I just signed my kids up for My Gym (simular to gymboree) but tomorrow they have a moms morning out program. It was $60 each for 9-12, but I dont care!! I need the break from them and they need it from me. So, now I have to figure out what I am going to do with one child.


Jules have a great trip!! I think we are just missing each other at Disney. I am getting there Sat the 27th. And leaving the 4th of Dec! But I hope you have a great time!! And have fun in NY. Are you catching a show?

We shortened our day. Original plan was to go to planetarium, zoo, and Empire State Building. Now we're just going to ESB. I'm gonna have to stop in Sephora too, I love that store . Keep seeing stuff I want in the catalogues, but this way I won't have to pay shipping . Play starts at 8. For the most part, I think we'll just be walking around, the scenery is enough for both of us Just got an IM . . . looks like we're leaving before noon, 11:30ish I'm guessing
