Some of the things that I most enjoyed, outside of the travel, the different cultures and cuisines of other countries, were the care packages from home. While I was stationed at my first duty...

Gosh, how time  flies, right?  ToughGuy has officially been home six months and sometimes it feels like he’s always been here, always been a part of our family.  Other times I wonder how this alien being took a wrong turn and wandered into my house. But tonight, I find myself physically aching over the loss of his first five years.  The years that make him feel alien. Because I don’t know my ToughGuy’s story.  The story of all his other days.  His other steps, his other falls, his other... Read Full Story

He seemed pissed … really pissed.  We couldn’t figure out what the heck he was mad about.  We have our very own ANGRY BIRD !! So we decided to really... Read Full Story
