Forum: Military Families

Hi, everyone! I think we all disappeared, so I thought I'd attempt to start a thread to see how everyone is doing. We've been very busy. We PCS'd back to Bragg, Cheyenne started kindergarten, and Sarah started preschool. They've both grown so much; it's exciting, but makes me sad at the same time....

Hi, everyone! I figured we better have a new thread since spring is here. At least we're getting a little more activity lately. I hope it will continue. As for me, we've had a busy day. I had to drop Cheyenne off at preschool this morning, and then go to have my van looked at. It needs some work....

Hi., I'm Dave. FTs Founder. A long time ago I used to serve in the military and I would love to see this board grow. This is a great board for military families to keep in touch no matter where they go in the world. I need your help with a few things. Do I need to periodically make an...

Dr Parker would like to do a book with stories of his IF patients. I am not sure if he wants just "successful" outcomes or if he just wants various journeys. My opinion is that the book should have stories from all aspects, because as we all know, there is a dark side to infertiltiy. So if you...

I just wanted to say an early Merry Christmas to everyone. I miss you girls! It looks like we're all too busy with our kids to be on here these days. Well, I guess that's what happens. At any rate, I hope you all have a very merry Christmas.

Hey Yall, This board is suffering a slow 'death' Its so sad. As for me, Potty training was a bust. Boys just were not interested in the actually staying trained. It was like Mikki said a novelty. I am going to give it one hard push before our road trip back home for Thanksgiving. It was my...

We have some friends who are expecting a baby in Nov. It's a little girl, so we figured we'd help them out by giving them the rest of our girls' baby clothes. I'm glad to help them out because she just got out of the Army, and their income will be cut in half basically. I know how that is. But, I'm...

Hi, Goodlife! I was just wondering how preschool is going for your DD. Did you get her into the older class? I hope she's liking it. Cheyenne started back after Labor Day. She's loving it. Sarah, on the other hand, still cries after me anytime I drop her off with anyone. She even cries if I leave...

Since im new to this part of the board i thought it might be nice to get to know each other... so i thought we could use this thread to say hi! If there is something you'd like to see here, some change you'd like made to the board why not let me know? Id love to see the board buzzing... so how...

Hi. I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm the new BC for the military families section of FT. Up until recently i was a Navy Wife, before that I was a RAF brat and now my family is working out what to do as we tiptoe through medical retirement. I have two step children that are mostly grown now...

DH is prior enlisted in the Navy (Trident Subs). He served just shy of 9 years and I was married to him all but the first 6 months and all three of our boys were also born during that time. So, we've "done" the Navy life. Not too terrible, since he was on Tridents and there's pretty close to a...

lets see what three things we're thankful for.... 1:- my husbands sense of humour... its sick, twisted and terrible but after zero sleep and with my hair full of baby oats at least he can make me laugh...... 2:- delivery dry cleaning...yep im that crippled by my life right now that i can't...

Its hump day and it sucks! so lets get it off our chests and have a good old whine about it!!!!! Heres mine:- No matter what i do today its wrong... if i whack my own spider im taking the mans role, if i hollar for help its 'what did you do when I was at sea...' aaaaargh insert fixing...

Hi, all! I thought I'd start a new thread for us since it's been kind of slow over here. I know we've probably missed some of the new additions, so just let me know who to add. Thanks! (copied from last month) Our Bundles of Joy: SPOLIEDBRAT-Rhonda (CIV) (Zoie arrived 3/15/07 & ERIN...

Did anyone see the "Army Wives" season finale last night? It was SO good! I hope that show stays on for a long time. They haven't announced if there will be another season or not. I love that show so much. It's like my Sunday night ritual.

Hi, everyone. This board needs some life again, so I copied this from my post on the general parenting board. So here we go! I just had to get this off my chest. It seems that our family has been hit by one health issue after another lately. It started a month or so ago with my DH. His ankle...

Hi Ladies... It's Lori I have been MIA since the birth of my DD. Things went from 0 to 100 quickly and I lost touch, and for that I am sorry. My DH and I PCSed, and had a child shortly there after (after 3IVF's). Things have calmed down enough for us to want to try it again. We are doing our...

I was curious to see what type of car seats everyone was using. Gavin is right at 20 pounds and isn't very happy in the rear facing reclined position. I have found a car seat I would love to get him here in town but its almost $270. I am not so sure about buying two at that price. I have been...

We are currently stationed overseas however we have just signed up with an agency called ANLC. We just wanted to know if there are other military families who have worked with agencies in the states while overseas and how your experiences were during the whole process.

I don't get a chance to check in on here as much as I'd like, but I get Facebook mobile. If you're on it, please PM me your info. I'd love to see more of you ladies :)
