I"m so sorry. And thank you.

That's crappy. I thought you dad was retired. OR am I just dumb?

It is so sad Val! he will be missed.

Melanie -

He is retired, he's going as part of the private force. His previous job experience and Top Secret Clearance are exactly what they're looking for...

((hugs)) I know you'll miss him!

Valerie,

What! I need to call your mom, what a surprise....somehow retirement just doesn't suit your dad. He is too adventurous.

I finally got those pictures done! Yaaaa. I can't wait for you to see them. go to www.kbphotography.smugmug.com
then the family gallery, then smith gallery then password:smith
I will send you a CD with them all, I just want to make sure you look at them, let me know if you want any special things done, then I can send you the CD.

Valerie,
I forgot to mention that I unprotected the gallery so you can right click and copy them to your blog or computer so you don't have to have such a "boring" blog anymore! The only problem is everyone will be looking at your cute kids and caring less what you wrote.... actually I love your blog, your a great and funny writer... to bad your only a mom or you could have been something great and famous like Stephanie Meyer. Oh well. Your children are just sooooo cute. We miss you guys.

I know. (that is said with a giant sigh, not a "I ALREADY KNEW IT!" b/c that would be dumb.)

Stupid Iraq.
