We are the Stuarts (formerly of Imperial) now residing in Okinawa, Japan.

This blog started from a desire to bridge the miles as we were preparing to leave the USA for 3+ years. It has turned into much more. It's part travel diary, part personal reflection, part "sociology of military life" and part mommy-blog. We hope you read something here that is interesting to you (or at least not a total waste of your time).

Flashback Friday...The Cards of Christmas Past


Speaking of Christmas photo shoots, here are a few I had in my files. This first one is NOT an outtake...it was the best we could do in an entire roll of film, so it went out in the cards. This would have been 1999 at our house on Camp Pendleton when Cliff was a Marine.



This next one IS an outtake. It was our Balboa Park photo shoot. We ended up going with one on the carousel, but here you see what happens when dad feels the mood needs to be lightened. LOVE Coree's missing teeth!



And Finally, our first Christmas in the Imperial Valley (sniff, sniff). We got here right before New Years, so we had already been here a year. Wonder what kinds of things we'll come up with in Okinawa?



Merry Christmas, and God Bless Us, Everyone!

OK, OK, I will hit send. I promise, it will be worth the wait!

It better be....or else. Nothing like a good friend to put a little pressure on you while you're in the process of moving and time's ticking to get gobs of things done. You're welcome.
