philoncrack@Webtv.net is Phil's address! Drop him a line to welcome him back to the real world, and to catch up on what it is that a 22 year old does these days!
Well, you get to hear from a different Heywood this week...Scoot has put me in the drivers' seat, so to speak. The main event on the "girlie" agenda is Girl Scout Investiture and Rededication. We have been working diligently at the old girl scout hut and have one more week and then...the ceremony. I'm still trying to decide whether I should let the girls use real candles or not. hahaha.
We are so excited about Thanksgiving. We have invited some unaccompanied folks over and the Pineiro family. Caroline and Chelsea go to school with their children, so it should be a good mix. Being overseas all these years, it's hard not to have others over. After all, the military is like a large extended family. One thing we make a point of doing is to have anyone we invite bring something that is a family tradition for them. That way, they have a little piece of home, as well. Anyway, I'm sure we'll eat too much and regret it on Friday as we are putting leftovers in the microwave for lunch. hahaha.
Scoot hasn't been home much this past week (he just reminded me that is what I'm supposed to be writing about..last week). Wednesday, he scored the best in his squadron on the M-16. He only threw one round out of 180. Can y'all tell he is standing behind me telling me what to write. And for you novices, throwing a round means he missed only one. Then on Friday, he went to a shooting competition in Osuna (sounds Japanese) and they placed first in tactical shooting and third overall. He came home tired, but pleased.
Caroline and Chelsea had an uneventful week at school. Caroline did go to a sleep over last night and came home really tired. And if I do say so myself, a little cranky as well. hahaha
Well, that's about it for this past week. We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Set a place for us in your hearts if not at the table. We love you all.
We are all doing great, just plugging along like the good little Military Family that we are! Not much to remark on, just trying to keep the faith and have a good time while we are here!
