I'd love to write in more detail about what's it has been like these past few days. About what it's like to be living so close to Libya. Have you seen a map? About what it was like going to sleep on Sunday night and listening to F-16s flying outside our window for hours knowing where they were headed. What a strange feeling. Going to our commissary and not being able to get normal things like yogurt and tortillas because they're out. They aren't use to supporting the increased number of people who have suddenly arrived. Driving home and seeing media cameras set up outside our little base.
We've been glued to the news. I wish I could share more but I'll just leave it at that for now. Things are definitely different around here.
On a much lighter note, things aren't completely different. Here are some pictures from the past few weeks. Nothing too exciting. Just pictures of the family.

I got my TIME magazine the other day and they had a map of the area and I thought to myself: wow--the "Middle East" is actually really close to Europe! Not to mention Sicily! Do you feel unnerved at all, or pretty safe there on the base? What an interesting point of view you have! Keep us posted when you can. The boys are cute as ever! Max is growing SO fast. (But don't they all?)
What a world we live in!! One crisis after another.
Your family is an island of love and sharing, and laughter. Max is especially getting so mature and big; in some of the pics he looks like Tom and then like Carey. Noah is such a ham, and Lincoln, the observer. DJ is maturing so fast. Furniture and sheets sometimes the best "toys".
