I figured I would write a quick howdy to anyone reading this before the children (and dog) get up.  Geno started work again this past Monday and boy those 30 days went by way to quick! He is now waking up at 515a. Luckily (knock on wood) he has been getting off around 230pmish and yesterday he had a 2.5 hour lunch so that was nice.

Derrick is doing well. He got his report card on Tuesday and he received all A’s except a B in Reading. Turns out he needed to get a 94% on a test and he got a 92%. We didn’t mind though he has been doing a heck of a good job this year.

Xavier has been doing well also. His personality can knock your socks off sometimes.  Over the past weekend we taught Xavier the “knock knock” joke about the banana and orange (incase you don’t remember it you keep saying “banana” a few times when they ask who’s there. on the 3rd or 4th time you say “orange” and then “orange you glad I didn’t say banana”). Well he just gets a kick out of it and will start laughing his jolly old laugh.

Jobs here are still really hard to find but I’ve been looking. Nothing yet. We have a few options so now we are looking at the pros/cons and trying to come up with a plan.  We still haven’t received any orders yet and Geno now doesn’t expect any until July sometime.  Although we really want out of this base the main issue is getting out of his unit.  So right now we will take moving over to Division (82nd Airborne on the other side of Fort Bragg) then stay in the unit. 

Well, that’s it for me. It’s almost time to wake Derrick for school and I can hear the puppy moving around in her cage…

So long for now…
