Hi, hi! Sorry, I've been super busy lately. I've been back to work and between work and Ileana; there's not been time for much else.

Fido's doing okay, hates not being here to see his daughter's firsts; but I try to document them all. He and I know it's not the same, but it's something. He hasn't heard anything encouraging about being shipped back at the end of January/the beginning of February. I'm hoping no news is good news.

Ileana went as a bumble bee for Halloween. Did she ever make out with the candy!! I can't believe how big she's getting. It seems like yesterday she was so tiny that even newborn clothes didn't fit right. :Sigh:

I guess I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving this year, it sounds like Fido's mom and sister will be up to visit for the holiday. The way it sounds, they will also be bringing their Christmas gifts for Ileana and myself. So, I'd better get myself out to the Mall this weekend and try to find something nice for each of them, since I've not had much time to do anything homemade.

Okay, have to run Ileana's got a bit of a cold and she's starting to get a bit fussy!
