I didn't get back to posting as soon as I had planned. I've been busy finishing up a couple of projects and being a little ill. Today Zoe and I received an envelope full of cheer.

That is my oldest, Jenny, and her husband William. William is currently on his way from Kuwait to Sadr City in Baghdad. This was taken just before he left for Iraq. And their kids Evan and Robyn.

Robyn will be 8 in January and Evan turned 2 in May. We hardly know Evan anymore. William came back from his first tour in Iraq a year ago in August and immediately moved to Fort Carson, Colorado.

But we've spent a lot of time with Robyn. We are planning for her to fly up for spring break. While Zoe isn't Robyn's grandmother, they have a very special bond. Please read what Zoe has to say.
