Sicky Sicky

Well, the entire house now has a cold.  YUCK!  Austin had it, then Sydney got it, and this morning, Mom, Dad and I all three woke up with it.  Sydney still is in full swing with it, and Austin has not gotten better yet either.  So hopefully we all get over it around the same time, and that way won't keep passing it around.  I'll be airing the house out in a few days, and sanitizing everything once everyone looks like they're getting over it.  Don't want to stay sick the rest of the winter!

I did so crummy on my eating today.  I've been really trying to stick within my calorie range, and I have been doing well, and losing weight.  But this week has been a slow downward spiral.  First with Mom and my night, ended up being a night in because Sydney was sick.  So we got J's Teriyaki for "our" meal.  (We were going to go to dinner and a movie while my brother and Jen had the kids- but they only got to take Austin.  Then, Sunday was Superbowl, and you all know how much you eat during that!  Then a military friend came into town, so went to Thai food for dinner, and then we grilled hamburgers the next day before they headed on to Alaska.  So it's been a calorie overloaded week.  Last night we were all getting sick and didn't feel like cooking, so for some reason Pizza Hut ended up knocking on our door.  (haha) So today, was leftover pizza for lunch, and also had chocolate tonight after my soup. WHAT.EVER!  Tomorrow is a new day =)

My passport is suppose to be here "on or around" February 16th.  So as soon as we get the number off the passport, Bryant will start my country clearance and I can buy my ticket to see him.  I am SO excited!  27 days! But who's counting?! tsk, tsk.

Oh yes, and before I forget.... look what Bryant found:

Bear Tracks!!  These were from a Polar Bear.  Said polar bear actually got him a half day off work!  I guess they really freak out when one wanders on base, so they basically shut it down until it goes away.  Eeps!  He hasn't seen one yet, but there's proof they're there!

February

I am a little more than surprised to see that it's February.  And the 10th at that!  Time since New Years has just flown by.  We are slowly getting into our groove here.  Austin goes to school 2 days a week, and I help in the classroom some days. 

The kids are growing like weeds, and really loving each other.  They are so cute together- and for the most part, play pretty well together.  Sydney has an attitude, a big one, so she gets a little mad at her brother for playing with her toys.  Or taking something from her, or talking, or looking at her. hahahaahha!  No, they do well together- and really enjoy each other.  You can really see the love between them and it just warms my heart!!!

As of right now, it looks like I will be going to see Bryant in Greenland March 9th.  I can't wait- and am SO excited for the trip.  The kiddos are going to stay with Mike and Nancy (Bryant's dad and step mom) in Oregon since they get to see the kids the least.  I am excited to go down a few days before I leave and spend some time with them, and will also stay a few days after my trip to hang out with them.  I think they will have a blast with the kids as well. 
I am going to be going over with a couple other wives whos husbands are over in Greenland with Bryant.  One of the wives will also be stationed in Germany with us- so it will be really neat to meet her and her husband. 

So we are all doing well- yes including Bryant.  He's truckin along over there on the ice freezing his butt off. =)  He's gotten a half day off last week for there being a polar bear on base- so that's a new one! 

Until next time!
