but I'm not complaining. It could be alot worse. Sylvin's been gone for a week now. He's not supposed to be gone long, but I'm really not a liberty to say when he should return either. He's been going through CCTI, which is "Chief's call to initiation" it's all top secret, so I really can't tell you much about it either. Some "old boys military" stuff he is enduring so that he can be proud to be called an initiated Chief. I know he had to make a hat box and it looks like an end table rather than a 'hat box'. He welded it togther made of steel and expanded metal. He plans on making a drawer made out of mahogany and even putting a piece of glass in it too complete with a light.
Went to the thrift store this morning. Friday's are 5 dollar/bag day. All the clothes you can fit in a bag for 5 dollars. I looked for tee shirts for Sylvin since he has nothing but long sleeved ones but there was so much there and Eve was really acting up. She freaks out bad over people being close to her. They were both in the little toy area and there was a lady down on her knees looking at the bags/purses right out side the wall and Eve was shrieking with fear. So needless to say I didn't stay long at all and I didn't really get a chance to look through much. I got them like 4 more little board books.
Anyway, the girls have been alright I guess, other than the freaking out over people being too close. Oh, we went to the grocery yesterday to get milk, bananas and kiwi. I had put them in the cart that has steering wheels. Well we weren't there long at all and when I went up to check out Sy threw a fit. Wailing at the top of her lungs and holding her breath. I was so embarassed. The XO's wife was there in the next isle. Geeze how embarassing! Sy was vexed cause we were leaving too soon, I think. Terrible twos are not going to be fun, I can tell already. Sy was just about to throw a fit today too when we went to leave the thift store. I did the count thing. Got to two, I usually only have to say one and she'll quit doing whatever.....I dunno what I'm gonna do if I have to pull three out on em. ???? OH, even more to tell!!!.....I was putting Sy's PJs on while Eve was in the tub...you know where this is going huh? No...not poop...Eve was pouring bucket after bucket of water out of the tub over the side. I wasn't paying attention, I was trying to get Sy ready until I finally tuned in and heard a not "normal" noise. I looked over and there was a lake on the bathroom floor. The water was rolling down toward the door out into the hallway behind me. I had to get the mop to get it all up. The towel that was down was completely soaked so was the bathroom rug. Eve got in big trouble. I was stern and kinda loud and put her in a time out while I moppped up all that water. Poor Sy sits down too when Eve gets in trouble with a time out. So cute, but I told her she was alright and could get up, but she sat still anyway. The mop has saved me a couple of times already this week. Tonight, I gave them both sippies of milk, well Sy dropped hers and the next thing I know Beans is having a feast. I appreciate his help, but I didn't want him getting sick licking up the WHOLE glass of milk that was dumped. Someone was thinking when they put tile floors in the entire house!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Been trying to get this entry finished for the last couple of days.
Good News!!! Sylvin's coming home soon! Hope you all have a great weekend, and I'll try to post some video over the weekend. Love to you all. From all of us
Sylvin's from the Virgin Islands and I'm from Indiana. We met in St. Croix in 2000 when I was on contract there as a nurse. It all started there on a beautiful sandy beach....then lots of moves and an eventful adoption of our twin girls..Esyanne and Evelisse in 2006. We feel our greatest milestone yet!
We've come to a semi cirlce,.....hence the sandy beaches....This site is all about our adventures in Guam and archives of our first year in Michigan together. Me, Syani, Eve and Sylvin too! We're so very very blessed!
