Cards, Cards, Cards Galore!!

We received seven in the mail a few days ago and five in the mail yesterday. I am pretty impressed that we have received so many cards from so many of you. Funny though...some were sent WEEKS and WEEKS ago and others just last week. That pretty much sums up the mail system here in Dubai. And our friend Karen Baird...she is the FIRST to always send hers out...She always mails them to her friends & family so they get them the day after Thanksgiving...and guess what...we don't have hers yet!! NO JOKE...I guess you just never know!
We have LOVED seeing the photos, reading the letters, and hearing the stories! It's fun checking the mailbox everyday. I have started a "wall of fame" here in Dubai. Not much room in our apartment so the sliding glass doors have become the holding spot for all of your wonderful cards!! Thank you for paying the extra postage and sending your wishes to Dubai. I bet more are coming...maybe we will have them all by the end of January!! I just keep building "up" with them!!
BTW...for PJ and Kristen...Gilbert's picture is NOT on the wall because it has been added to Fayth's new photo album from Santa that she carries in her backpack. She has all her little friends in it and shows it off at the playground! I had to write this because PJ & Kristen are great friends and follow the blog and PJ WOULD NOTICE THIS and I don't' want him to feel that Gilbert is unloved!!

And I thought you just didn't like us!

Quite a collection of cards! Not surprised considering how well liked and loved you are by friends and family.

Less than 45 days until we see ya!

See the world isn't such a big place after all. I am glad you got lots of love this year as always. Now how am I going to get your b-day card there in time??!
