Well, Grubby was not selected again this year for chief. But the good news is that he is taking 2 weeks leave and is coming home! Yay! I keep telling Abby that she is going to see Daddy, Poppa, and Gramma Va very soon. She smiles real big and shakes her head "no". I guess she doesn't believe me yet...
She is also still trying to cut her bottom 2 molars, and has been running a fever for a few days and has swollen gums. Poor thing!

July 2008
Well, it seems like forever since we got to see Grubby. Abby has had her first birthday, gotten 6 new teeth, and is walking now. He missed all of that. She is also talking, and often picks up my cell phone and says "Hi, Dada" and "Bye, Dada". She is such a sweet girl, and cracks me up with her antics. She chases Mr Boots and Buddy, and they seem to not mind so much now.
I miss Grubby terribly, and I don't know when I will be able to see him again. Hopefully he will make Chief this time and we will be able to fly down to Cuba for his promotion ceremony. (That would be in September, if it happens). If not, then we are hoping he will be able to come home for Christmas.
In May, Abby and I flew up for Grubby's family reunion and a nice visit with Gramma and Poppa and her big brother, Michael. Even Aunt Sylvia, & Uncle Archie, David and April came over to add to the fun! In June, Abby, Grandma H, Taylor & Jordan, and I went to Grandma & Grandpa's house in TN. We were able to see Aunt Kathy, cousin Keely, and cousin Colleen, her hubby T Jay, and meet their sweet little baby girl Cailin.
Abby has been enjoying having Taylor and Jordan here for the summer. They are at church camp this week and Abby really misses them!

Gitmo again
Well, Abby and I spent the last month in Cuba with Grubby. We had so much fun, and made a lot of good memories. We were with the Williams family almost every day, and we love them like family. Abby & I brought Ashlee Williams home from Cuba with us for a well deserved visit to the States. It has been a few years since she has been here, and it is so cool to take her to new places she has never been, like Target and Whataburger, and to places she has not been in years, like Walmart. Abby adores her, and she is like a little sister to me. Abby and Grubby bonded, with lots of snuggle time and tickling. Ever since we got on the plane she has been asking for Dada. While we were in Cuba, she got her two front top teeth, and got really steady on her feet. She is now 11 months old and 21 pounds. She eats all table food now, thanks to Bill Williams, who does not believe in baby food from jars. Abby seems to agree, since she gobbled up everything he cooked for her...spaghetti, chili, homemade vegetable beef soup, etc. While I was there I got a great tour of the North East gate to communist Cuba. I could see the Cuban Outposts, and was only feet away from Communist soil.
