I’m so proud of her. She’s has a crazy week since I last blogged. As many of you know, she goes to a Catholic school. Well, she got picked to read a petition (if you’re not Catholic, it’s the part of mass where we pray for others). She’s got hard words to read like classmates and principal, so we’ve been practicing every night. She’ll be doing it next Tuesday at 8:30 mass, so if your interested, let me know! Bill is going to go to work late that morning to see it! I’m super excited (and a little nervous) for her.
She’s also full of crazy questions like: Why did God create sharks — they hurt people?, Why do trains ride on train tracks and not the road?, and you know stuff that MOM just doesn’t know the answer too and cant Google the answer.
The last cool news is that she has a new tooth coming in. Unfortunately, the tooth in front of it isn’t loose yet. I called the dentist, and we are suppose to get her to wiggle it. If it’s still not loose in a week, we have to bring her in. I love our dentist, and they straight out said that they prefer the tooth to fall out on it’s own and pulling would be a last resort.
We are taking the kids tonight to a preview of How To Train A Dragon. It’ll be Will’s first movie at a movie theater so wish us luck!

Chicago luckily got missed with the huge snowstorm. We have some snow but not the 14 inches my friends and family got in Wisconsin. However, instead, we got something much worse. Bitter cold. I’m sitting here right now checking to see if Madison has school (which she does). However, with the wind chill, it’s -25 degrees here. The problem is is that not only do I have to take Madison out in this weather, I have Will to be worried about. That’s where the title of this post comes in. The only logical thing I can do is, I think, ask another parent to walk Madison the block up to the school building (We park at one end of the block. Her school is at the other end. Plus, this is a Chicago city block, so it’s not a short little jaunt.). I’m sitting here, and I can’t come up with a better way to do this, because no 2 year old should be out in this bitter cold. Well, off to get ready and wake some kiddos up. Wish us luck!

Lt. John Madea
Lt. John Madea holds his daughter as she is baptized with holy water from the ship’s bell of the amphibious dock landing ship USS Tortuga (LSD 46). This is the fourth person baptized aboard Tortuga since the ship’s christening in 1988, and her name will be inscribed inside the bell as a tradition of the U.S. Navy.

While reading the info on Cpt. Freeman, I found that I couldn’t have put it better than this.

Spc. Jonnie L Stiles
38 years old from Highlands Ranch, Colorado
769th Engineer Battalion, Louisiana Army National Guard
November 13, 2008
Louisiana National Guard spokesman Maj. Michael Kazmierzak said Spc. Jonnie L. Stiles had been serving as a gunner on a Humvee doing route clearance when and IED detonated near his vehicle in Jalalabad, Afghanistan. He said the job typically involves checking roads for bombs and insurgents.
Stiles’ wife, Launa, said that he was nearly killed last month when a suicide bomber blew up a military vehicle in front of his. She said he was still able to rescue three other soldiers and returned to duty before his 30-day recovery period was finished.
“He was strong and really cared for his men,” she said.
Stiles was born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and graduated from Littleton High School in Colorado. He served in the military for 17 years, first joining the Marines and then switching to the Army in 1999. He served three years at Fort Carson, left the Army and then returned as a member of the Colorado Air National Guard in the Summer of 2007.
