I often check this blog. I'm always curious to see if Chelsea's posted something new, if someone actually commented, or see what the weather's like where the boys are at. Today, I noticed that Steve has been away for 4 months time. It's hard to believe that he's been in Iraq that long already. I know for Chelsea, Logan and his parents it's seemed longer, I'm sure. I wonder sometimes what Steve has been doing. How things are for him. If he's warm, happy. I sure hope so.
My mom finished up the stockings to be sent to the Marines. I am proud to report that over 10,000 pounds of stockings were sent to the troops. That made a total of 1,500 soldiers that received them. This included Steve and his troop. I'm so proud of my mom for making a difference. I'm sure it put a smile on all of their faces, at least for a moment. She worked so hard on this project and it's an ongoing job for her. Good job mom and all of those who donated time, money and effort!

Thank you Lacey for taking the time to update the blog. Yes your Mom is a very special lady! Bless her heart for all she does. Steve is doing ok. His back is hurting him something aweful but he is alive and well! It is getting cooler there now. And yes, it seems like longer than four months but on the other hand, it's four months down! We can't wait to have all of our soldiers home! Bless them all!
Oh, that's awesome that Chad had his Marine buddies over to your Mom's house. I bet she loved it!
Sincerely, Steve's mom AKA: A proud Army Mom
Thanks for the comment Teresa! I know things have been tough, but we do think of Steve often. I am shocked at how much Logan looks like his daddy. I'm sure it's crazy for you to look at him and not see Steve. Hope you're doing okay. We need to come visit you for a nice coffee break...minus the kids!
Ya, Logan is for sure, a mini Jr! He is so smart too! Chelsea is doing a good job with him :) I can't wait till he and his Daddy can spend some quality time together.
Thanks for keeping "our guys" up-dated Lacey! I really want to thank everyone for all the support given to help with these projects. We are now making up Easter baskets to take to Pendelton for the kids that have a parent that is deployed. Our next shipment will be 4th of July. Donations for the care packages are most welcomed!!!!
This blog is such a good idea for your families. I LOVED the stocking idea. If you do it again this year, let me know. It would be a fun thing to get the Castlegate community involved in.
Way to go you guys! I'm glad I was able to contribute to such a wonderful thing!
