This is a couple pictures of Dee's oldest son Ross and his oldest daughter Sierra at Rosses Marine Graduation. All of the photos are complements of Aunt Fay(Thank you). She went out there for the Graduation. So thank you for the photos Fay. We don't talk to Ross much anymore, but we are proud of what he is choosing for himself. But on the Georgia side of town, Ryleigh, Dustin and I went to Savannah to Chucky Cheese today. Ryleigh wanted a new pair of shoes so, her and Dustin got a new pair. Happy New Year to Everyone! Love Love.

Christmas was very nice. Dee and I agreed that we would not have a really big Christmas this year and that we would go through the kids toys that they did not play with and donate them to his work. So, we did that and we also bought presents for a 2 year old and a four year old. Ryleigh and Dustin got two of the bigger Items that they asked for. Dustin wanted the little singing spider man guy and Ryleigh wanted one of those three wheeled scooters. They got more then that but those are there favorite. I don't think that Dee kept to the keep it small Christmas theme. I got Two pairs of shorts to work out in, three shirts, two sweat shirts, a web cam, and a wireless key board and mouse. The gift that I think took him over the small Christmas was the Microsoft Zune. I love it, but after I opened it I felt bad that I went Conservative and got him a iPod shuffle, and three Shirts. I should have done more. If I would have know. I'm having problems with my ear. It sounds like people are talking to me through a tunnel. I have never had an ear infection. It is not so much painful it just feels like I have water in my ear and it wont pop. Today we are going to go register for another semester of college. I have been at it for a year. That year went fast and I have 24 credits and a 3.15 GPA. I got a C and and A this time around. Anyway the kids had a couple friends come over and play. Ryleigh was playing dress up with Destiny and Dustin wanted in on the photo shoot. What a Ham.

I had to work the past two days for the Post office and I have to work on Monday too. I'm not looking forward to mail on Monday. I am slow when it comes to putting up the mail and they say that Monday is always really bad. I might have to deliver in the dark. Last night after I got off work we went to the Hargis's to to do eat and have our gift exchange. Ryleigh got two Bratz dolls Dustin got a Power Ranger and race car that makes lots of noise. It is Christmas eve and the kids are in bed. I spent the day delivering packages to people so that they could have a merry Christmas. Ryleigh and Dustin helped me put out milk and cookies for Santa Clause. They are both very excited for Christmas day. The store was closed when I went to get fixings for Christmas dinner so, we are going to have Spaghetti for dinner tomorrow. Yeah! Tonight Ryleigh and Dustin opened on gift Dustin opened a Spider man and Ry opened a pink play Cell phone. This weekend has been pretty uneventful for Dee. His knee is hurting him so bad he knows that he needs to stay off of it. That means that he is not playing any golf. That's what I said, "He is not playing any golf."

It is a short little clip but, Ryleigh is singing in her school concert. "Black and white, the perfect combination. White and Black the perfect combination" Every time she claps her hands together they are saying perfect combination. It was a really cute little show. Dustin was trying to sing along with them. I took Ryleigh to the Dr. This morning to make sure she did not have an ear infection. She was good, so I made her go to school. Her teacher told me that everyone in the class wants to sit by Ryleigh. My girl is the social butterfly. Dustin has been out of school all week and Ry gets out on Friday. I have to deliver mail on Friday, Saturday, and Monday.

I stumbled upon my camera. know I have picture of the Christmas Parade and I have pictures of yesterdays family day out at the Guard unit. Dustin is so excited about Santa Clause. He wants to sit on his lap; Ryleigh never wanted to do that. Ryleigh was sick again this last week. She had fevers and a very bad cough. She still has the cough but, she is getting all of her energy back. This week was Finals. I don't have my final grades yet but I got a 100% on my English research paper and a 71% on my Geography final. We will see how it goes. Dee is have some knee problems, he is determined to get a few holes of golf every day. The Post office job is going pretty good. It is a much tougher job then I ever thought it would be. There is just a lot to memorize and the more you memorize the faster you get. Don't forget to send all you packages through the USPS. Help me keep my part time job. And that is about it. Peace out.

This week is finales, so I don't have a lot of work to do but the work that I do have it critical.
On Friday Ryleigh Dee and I were up most of the night. Ryleigh decided that she was going to get the flu. at about 6:00 in the morning Ry finally went to sleep. She had Flavor Ice and water the whole day. It was the only thing that she would even let touch her lips. Poor baby girl. I think that we are lucky that the little man did not get it. We went to the Hinesville Christmas Parade. The weather was nice, and Ryleigh really wanted to go. I took pictures, but I can't find my camera. I'm getting a little worried and I have looked every where. Christmas shopping is almost done. Sorry, about the pictures.

It has been a long time once again, but the two classes that I took this semester demand a lot of reading time. By the time I'm done with all that I just want to quit grouping words together forming sentences. Anyway this year is really exciting as far as Christmas goes. Ryleigh is really getting into it. Dustin just follows her lead. He has been singing bits and peaces of Jingle Bells. It's so cute. Monday me and the kids decorated the house. I put the lights up and the kids helped decorate the tree. They have never interacted that much. Next week is finals for school, I can't believe that it has been a year. That means that I only have three left until I have a degree. I took a picture of Doodles pretending to be a lap dog. Dee is working hard and playing less golf, because by the time he gets home it is dark. Well, that is the Dickerson home front.
