I bet you are thinking... Wow, Tiffanie does not mention Jerry in the blog. You are probably thinking, the photos are nice of Sophia and all, but what is Jerry up to. You may have noticed that I cleaned up my blog, deleting any photos of Jerry.

Well....There was a family member who is in a similar situation as ours that was disturbed and threatened in a serious way. We have been asked to ensure no information is leaked through Blogs, My Space, etc. etc. They are asking us not to be an easy pray. Which..... I appreciate the warning. I truly believe that people are good, don't mean harm, it just goes to show how "Half Full" I always look at things. As my co-worker said to me.... Don't be so naive Tiffanie...

So, it's very hard to write a blog to keep family members & friends informed on what's going on this year. I will be as vague as possible, and hope you can read my hieroglyphics.

Jerry and I talk everyday. It's mostly a quick update on Sophia during the day and a late good night call at 11pm. He had another shot this week, which made his arm very soar and blister. This shot will be repeated over the next few months to ensure proper immunization.

They have been gone for five weeks. He says each day they joke that it is "Ground Hogs Day". His favorite times of the day are Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Each morning, they take a walk with their gear on to build up their tolerance.

Jerry continues to work towards his Masters Degree taking an on-line statistics class. Some of his very limited free time, he watches the CD collection of the Entourage (HBO Show). He is doing good and continues to stay positive. Sophia and I will be visiting him the middle of March. We are looking forward to seeing each other. I am afraid it will start the grieving process from the beginning. I am just starting to get over the mad phase.

Sophia in a new Italian T-shirt. It is from our dear friends Paula and Jim Wheelock who love to travel, especially to Italy. We met around 8 years ago at A&F. Paula and Jim's romance blossomed and they moved to San Diego shortly after. Sophia and I will be flying to San Diego in May to visit them before they head off to Dublin, Ireland for Jim's job. Thank you Jim and Paula for the lovely T-shirt for Sophia. I will get busy booking our flight.

Our good friends who we use to run with a few days a week Trisha and Paul Zelenack invited Sophia and I over for a pizza party on Friday night. Later in the evening, they broke the sad news, they will be moving from Clintonville to Grove City for a larger home, better school district, etc. Paul and Tricia are expecting their 2nd girl in May. Trisha and Paul met in the Army 12 years ago. They are a great support, and friends. We will miss having them so close.

Sophia going for a walk with my girlfriend Sharon. Sophia was not feeling the best (she has a cold) and I asked Sharon to come over and watch her for the day. We did not want to get her b-friend Jackson sick. Apparently Sophia's diaper had leaked under Sharon's supervision. Well our Nanny (Sabrina) got to the house and gave Sophia a bath, and she said Sophia's diaper was on backwards. Is that not toooooo funny! When I told Sharon, she could not stop laughing. She said...."How could I tell". Thank you Sharon for watching Sophia for the day.
