Thanks for the reminder...I need to get out the pen and paper. I found that last time a card was a great way to get me started.<br /><br />We are using "Flat Daddy" and taking pictures of various places Flat Daddy has been through out the deployment. I really should setup a blog to tell about Flat Daddy's adventures. This weekend he went with his parents and our children to visit Great Grandpa! <br /><br />I just arrived home today from our pass and we hardly took any pictures. I am sad we forgot but I am happy because of why we forgot. We were just us, hanging out on a trip to New Orleans, husband and wife....we were both some how able to not even think about returning to Camp Shelby until the day he had to return.<br /><br />CrystalCrystal Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514777902234058246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991024443488082637.post-46071460092113146632010-09-03T23:42:29.262-05:002010-09-03T23:42:29.262-05:00Scrapbooking--great idea, even for those of us who...Scrapbooking--great idea, even for those of us who don't regularly engage in the hobby! I'll have to look out for how-to articles and other resources.<br /><br />And, alolkus, you bring up a good point about single soldiers--sometimes, I'm so focused on my own roles as spouse and parent, I forget other potential perspectives! I'm glad to hear that you're keeping in better touch than last time 'round, however. Make sure to caption those photos--I'm always amazed at how quickly my memory fades ...Charlie Sherpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16791563886675329245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991024443488082637.post-62160759857120905752010-09-03T13:09:34.490-05:002010-09-03T13:09:34.490-05:00I am bad about keeping in contact with my family. ...I am bad about keeping in contact with my family. I am a single Soldier with no one in-particular waiting for me back home. I call home about once a week to talk to my brother. I hope he passes word to the folks, but I'm guessing that is only shared upon request. I do have to say I am doing better than last deployment. I only called home once every 4 months. <br /><br />I like these ideas. I may have to work a bit harder this time around. Although, it may be easier now that I will be toting a camera everywhere with my new MOS. <br /><br />Signed,<br /><br />A DINFOS trained killeralolkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08010393884106784627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991024443488082637.post-66593317177159550582010-09-03T08:22:40.164-05:002010-09-03T08:22:40.164-05:00Even though I don't scrapbook, my son and I ar...Even though I don't scrapbook, my son and I are making a scrapbook. On each full layout - one side is what Daddy did that month (or where he was that month or whatever he could take pictures of and send electronically!) and the other side will be some highlights of what we did that month. I thought it would be a nice way to look back and see what life was like for both parts of the family :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
