We awakened this morning to about an inch of snow here. Yay! I leave tomorrow for Florida for my pre-deployment training and I was hoping to see some snow before I left. We had the boys bundled up and out the door around 8am. That’s Jacob throwing snow at Howie on the left. Timmy in … Read more
So which will it be? One of these pictures is going into the Vollmer Christmas Card….the boys, and Howie, were all great sports about it!
Jacob has been inspired to help this year, which is great! He’s making stuffing for us here.

Those who are closer friends with the Vollmers have heard the stories of the freak weather we bring to every location we’ve … Read more
This is Patricia (don’t let the Dr. Dave fool you). Tonight we made our first batch of cookies…. …but not before a shopping extravaganza at Costco on Veteran’s Day. Bulk packs of eggs, butter, sugar, powdered sugar, oatmeal, dried cranberries, vanilla extract… …but not flour. There was a great deal on a 25 lb. sack … Read more
Okay, now that I’ve gotten all my political blogging out of the way (see yesterday’s), I can go back to my usual housewife/Mom/Air Force wife-type posts, tee hee. Today I made a trip to Target to get something for my sister’s birthday (I know you’re reading this, Margaret!) I hadn’t been to Target since before … Read more
