Limbo Sucks!

Well, if you're leaving things up to the Navy, better plan for the worst while you're hoping for the best. We were planning on leaving Japan in May, but due to a mistake that took place with Harry's orders to be discharged from the Navy, we are stuck in limbo. We don't know when we will get orders or once we get orders how long it will take to leave Japan. As you know, traveling 5000 miles does take some preparation. This is giving us much stress but we are doing the best we can. Sydney asks Harry every day, "Daddy when will the hospital let you go work in the United States?" It is hard to not be able to give her an answer. Julia has relied on taking things into her own hands as in this picture. She figures 2 pacifiers are better than one!

That is so funny! I don't know how you keep two pacifiers on hand long enough for her to make a habit of using them both at the same time! I am always losing them as you know, and am down to two, so I have to always hide one to keep it available when needed!

I think I'll adopt Julia's way of handling things! Picture is absolutely adorable :D
