Lady bugs

So what's new???

Afghanistan is hot, so not change there , but I did get to to see the greatest thing in the world the other day thanks to Skype. What is it?? Look below I shall make you wait till the end.
Life here in Afghanistan is picking up with a Change of Command coming up I keep busy making sure $40 million worth of the governments' money is not lost or wasted. Which means I am VERY busy, but I guess that is the life of an Executive Officer. I am trying to get everything ready to send home too, which is only six months away. Now, I am waiting I put in for a Branch transfer, which means if I get it there is a 98% chance Morgan, Ady, Baxter, Oreo, and I will be cozying it up in the Rockies. (Yes, Tim you can come visit and go to a Rockies game). Well, that is the updates for the Army side.
Morgan has made this a very easy deployment, due to all the letters and cards I get from her. I don't understand why mail takes so long to get home, but it can get here in nine days from Hawaii. I get the Mail Clerk come by at least once a week bringing me a letter or card from M. Balough. I think they finally figured out who it was (DUH Morgan). I am so thankful for all of my family that has sent me mail, packages, and comfort items. Morgan Balough, Ashley Balough, Timothy Balough, Denise Kolakowski, Curtis Clan, Salley Williams, Jane Davis (Greenville Upstate Blue Star Mothers), just to name a few, and Amazon. I have been so blessed that Morgan has sent me pictures in the electronic mail so I can feel part of the pregnancy. She is got to be the MOST GORGEOUS pregnant woman EVER !!!! I cannot wait to come home and see Morgan and little Ady still in the belly, then she can pop out. I am good with Morgan going into labor at the airport as long as I can see Ady and say hey while she is still in Morgan's belly. Question is what do I do with my luggage? Wait for it or have someone pick it up???? Let's pass on the Airport labor part, that might not be as fun as I think.

Two Interesting things that happened recently that made my heart flip!!
1) I was around when another Soldier opened his care package, and he threw me something. I did not realize what it was at first and then I flipped it over and realized it was a little Lady bug bean bag animal, just an amazing realization that Lady bugs is perfect for Ady.
2) See below

Morgan is up next which means another month till the next post. Thanks to all who follow and enjoy reading the life of the Baloughs with a little critter on the way.

The Baloughs


P.S. The cool fact: I got to see Ady kick on Skype!!! Got to be the best present I could have got over Skype. Love you Ady and Morgan.
