Last Sunday, we had a busy day. We went to church that morning. It was a good service about Angles. After that, we went out to eat with the Mason's and had a good time as always. After lunch, we went to a Bazaar that was on post and we found some really neat things there. Can't tell what we got, it is Christmas gifts. We had to leave because Dan had Flag Detail so we went and did that. Well, that night was also the tree lighting on post. It was very cold and they was serving free hot chocolate and cider. That made up for the cold. After some music and the tree lighting they had a surprise for the kids. Santa was coming on a fire truck and Santa was walking across the Field to get to his chair. Gracie was beside herself. She broke away from Dan and I and took off to get Santa. The crowed was laughing and taking Gracie's picture as she running after Santa. Dan got her and he said all she grabbed was his jacket. We had a hard time having her wait in line to see Santa. For a little girl that would have nothing to do with Santa last year is acting like Santa is her hero this year. When it was Gracie's turn to sit on Santa's lap, she ran right up to him and hoped on his lap. Santa asked what her name was and she said "Gracie", and asked her what she wanted for Christmas and I could not hear everything she said but I did hear Dolls. Santa told her to be a good girl and listen to your mommy and daddy! We went home to eat dinner and our evening was not over yet. We was going to a Hockey game next. It is just right down the road from our house. We get there and can't find parking anywhere. Dan and I look at each other and decided to go home, we was pooped. We rented the movie Juno and it was good but we went to be soon after the movie.

For Thanksgiving we spent it with the Mason Family and like always have a great time. We had lots of food and like always, we over did it. We didn't get our afternoon nap in because Dan was kinda at work all day. For the week, he has been doing flag detail so he had to be at work 5am, he is only there for maybe a hour but came home. We got started right away with all our cooking. Then, the NCO's had to serve dinner to the soldiers at 11:30-12:45. So, he gets home and we left right away to go have our dinner with the Mason's. We felt bad, we couldn't stay as long as we wanted to, Sorry again to the Mason Family, we hated to eat and run. Then, we had to leave 3:15, because he had to do flag detail again, so after he took down the flag. We went home and wanted to go back to the Mason's to play games but Gracie was asleep and we was going that way too. We was so tried!! Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

Second Trimester!

WE MADE IT TO THE SECOND TRIMESTER!!!!! Thank you to all who's been praying for us. I know a lot of you put us on the prayer chain and Thank you! I know I still have a long way to go but please keep us in your prayer. I went in the doctor on Monday and did another ultra-sound and the baby was moving all over the place, the doctor was having a hard time witching the heart beat. Sorry for the inconvenience to the doctor but I was happy to see our little one being a busy body. God has really blessed us and showing his work. Thank you again for your prayers!!

November's Birthday's

Boy, I am really trying to get better about Birthday's and I really do mean well, but I seem to let things slip my mind. Happy Birthday to all:

GRACIE DAVIDSON
DANNY DAVIDSON
MERLE DAVIDSON


If there is anyone I left out, please e-mail me and tell me to get my act together!!

Last Thursday, I was helping Dan studying for the NCO Board on Friday. He was really nervous because he was sick all that week and had not been studying. We study ALL DAY AND NIGHT and Gracie was great for us so I could help him. We only took ten min. breaks and kept on studying. I knew after dinner he was ready when he was answering all the questions right and getting the NCO Creed down pat, but you can still see he was nervous. That Friday morning I was nervous for him and wrote him a note and put it in his Class A's uniform pocket. When he put on his Class A's, he looked VERY NICE!! I found out that his Class A's was going to be inspected and I was scared that if that note was found during the board that he would loss points so I told him to check his pocket. It really put a smile on his face and he told me he knew I would do that for him and was looking forward to it. I guess he has me pretty much figured out. Well, he left and told me he would call to let me know how he did. Well, when the phone rang, he told me he did very well and they was a few soldiers who did this. Dan and another guy was close in points but the other guy end up winning. I told Dan I was proud he got second place but he informed me that there is just a winner, no second place. Dan told me he signed up for the NCO Board again in Dec. I was even more proud of him that he didn't give up and going for it again. Baby, I am VERY PROUD of you!!!!!

It is Sunday evening and we are just sitting around and watching T.V. Dan is still not feeling well and Gracie for some reason is very hyper today. I keep on forgetting to put this on my blog. We was ready to eat and we let Gracie pray and it is the same thing everytime. Gracie says, " God is good, God is great, help us for our food, Amen". We know she means "Thank you for our food", but it is just stinkin cute to us. Gracie should say, "Help us mommy cooked, Amen". I can't believe right now that Dan and I are watching Star Track. Boy, we must be getting old or just loosing it. Dan just reminded me that Gracie has also been putting both legs in the same pant leg saying, "Look, I am a mermaid". She is such a careter. Gracie plays with Merle alot. She likes to hook on Merle's leash on and walk her around the house. Merle gives us this look like help me you trader. Gracie is such a busy body. I do wonder if this baby will be like Gracie, boy, I will end up being as gray headed as George Bush when the kids move out.
