Babysitting with skin and fur grandkids!

[4 Dog Mother]

The army recruuiters had a weekend event at a hotel in Cincinnati so Christy called and asked if we could come baby/dog sit. We took Snoopy and Pippi with us, Taggert and Dazzi went to Amy's and the neighbors took care of Jack. It was a great weekend for us - our grandkids for a whole weekend! What could be better than that? Now on to some pictures.

First Grandpa with Dominic - this boy is growing so fast - not quite 4 months old and into and almost out of 6-9 month clothes.

Oh here's Jasmine, making a play house from dog kennels. No one but Snoopy could figure out how to get back there. She is such a silly girl!

The first time Pippi met Jasmine they were both about a year old. Pippi did not care for Jasmine - I think she moved too quickly and scared her. Anyway not they are truly best budshttp://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid219/pe48392a2803ffb0c06a3a0ea1d341444/ebfb6074.jpg

AWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

I wish you would have CALLED ME!!! We could have added Jonah to the mix :)

I didn't get as many pictures as I thought I would. I guess taking care of two little ones and five dogs kept me a might busy! Here are the rest of what I took.

I wish I would have too! Sometimes I think my mind doesn't work at all. I thought about that on the way home too. But by then it was too late. We will have to get the kids together soon. Brian has got his orders. They will be moving to Fort Drum, New York in March - at least Brian will. Hopefully the house sells and they get to move as a family. Memaw and Pawpaw are hating this idea very much but it will be closer than Ft. Hood, Texas - a day's driver shorter!

[Karen]

Lady's Human was at Ft. Drum for two years, now lives a couple hours south of there - Brian should connect with him before they move
Great pictures, and wow is Dominic big!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Brian has got his orders.

They will be moving to Fort Drum, New York in March - at least Brian will.

:eek:
:(

How come??
I thought he had a longer-term "deal" to work in Cinci?

Seems like they just GOT there!
What's his new assignment at Fort Drum?

[shais_mom]

Love the pics and the dogs and the kids!
Now today you can rest! ;) oh cept for that thing called WORK!

[elizabethann]

Whoa...look at all those babies & dogs! You must have been exhausted after your babysitting.

Cute babies (and dogs) btw.

:)

[kimlovescats]

What precious little grandchildren you have! Lots of pretty "spots" there too! :D

[Cincy'sMom]

Lookslike everyone had fun weekend! I didn't do my job on here onthe north end and take any pictures :( Shame on me!!

I can't belive how big Dominic is getting!!! He is already looking like such a little boy and not a baby!

Dazzi is laying here next to me sleeping, and Tggert is anxiously looking out the window. I think he knows his dad will be here soon!

[IRescue452]

Great pics. Looks like a fun weekend. You are making me miss my family. Oh well, I get to go home tomorrow.

[Alysser]

What a fun weekend! You sure were busy. :p The dogs and skin kids are adorable!

[Danegirl2208]

/QUOTE] from Phred


As a recruiter, Brian had a quota of enlistees to get every month. With this war going on, he found it very hard to get recruits. Plus he has been working 7:30 am to 9 or 10 at night each day. Saturdays he would get off earlier but he sees hardly any of Christy and the kids. So it was kind of a mutual decision by him and his superior that this wasn't working out.

Brian is trained as a mechanic of big trucks. So although I haven't heard exactly what he will be doing, I assume it will be something to do with mechanics. Fort Drum has a group coming back from Afghanistan in March - so he probably won't be going with the next group but possibly in about a year.

By March their time here will be about 1 and 1/2 years here instead of the 3 they said.

Wonderful pictures, Diana! Jasmine & Dominic are such beautiful kids! LOTS of spots in those pictures ;)!

Great photos! Looks like a nice relaxing weekend with the grand kids. :D
