Dear Daddy,

It's been another hot and sunny day! I've played outside a LOT! This morning we went with Mummy to the base hospital as she has had a VERY sore throat. They couldn't help her, so we went all the way to Sawston, to the better doctors and she got some medicine. It was cool. Afterwards we got to see Nana and Harriet.

This afternoon I went to school. I actually really love my school now. I LOVE having my packed lunch there!

While I was at school Mummy and Molly did some gardening:

Dear Daddy,

It's been yet another lovely day here. Lots of sunshine and up to 67F!! I rode my bike up and down the road. I've got SO much better compared to when you last saw me! Mummy thinks when you come home you can take off my training wheels!

Here is Molly trying to give our plastic giraffe her bubbee! Silly Molly!

This afternoon we dyed eggs for Easter, it didn't go so well...They cracked, my fingers got dyed and then Molly tried to eat the eggs and I almost ate some shell.

We miss you very, VERY much.

Dear Daddy,

Today Molly woke up with THE best bed hair ever!!



 We went to the base this morning and checked the mail box and we went to the BX and Mummy got a Starbucks coffee, that she tipped all over the floor - everyone stared, it was great!

Then I went to school and had a great time! While Mummy saw the lady next door who gave her lots and lots and lots of clothes for me! We wont have to buy me any clothes for a LONG time!

After school I helped Molly dig a big hole in the garden:

It was very nice to see you on Skype this morning.

Dear Daddy,

This morning me. Mummy and Molly went to Sainsbury's. Of course, I didn't want to go, but then when we got there I remembered that it was the duck feeding place too! The last time we did that was when you were here. Anyway, we didn't have time to do that today, so of course, I made a large fuss!

This afternoon I went to school. I was very enthusiastic. My teacher told Mummy that I had 'come out of my shell' today and I was no longer the quiet little boy they'd all come to know and love - I was ME! ha! They still love me, but I'm my noisy cheery self now!  While I was at school Molly played outside as it was a warm, sunny day. Her and Mummy did some gardening and planted some bulbs.

After school we went to see Vicky and Thomas and we had tea there. We rushed back as Mummy said we could talk to you on the phone, but you didn't answer...so, I was sad about that. Never mind, hopefully tomorrow. I'm getting desperate now!

Dear Daddy,

I went to school today, I took my pack lunch and was very happy! Molly is fully better finally and she let Mummy get a whole nights sleep last night! We waited to talk to you, but Mummy said your internet was probably not working. I got VERY upset. I am sick and tired of you being gone now. I get Mummy to show me the 'doughnut of misery' pie chart so I can see how long we have left!

Dear Daddy,

Today I went to Kate's school in Whittlesford. After school I went with Mummy, Nana and Molly to Scotsdales. We had lunch and looked at all the pretty flowers. We went back to Nana's house to play and watch TV while Nana went to the doctors!

Dear Daddy,

Mummy is getting so worn out. Molly is still poorly and was up lots last night. Here she is...look at all that SNOT! Mummy says she has sore gums too as she says 'owww my teeeef' a LOT!

 Here is Mummy and Molly - Molly and me might also have Pink Eye again, Mummy hasn't decided if we do or not yet.

Today it was Mothering Sunday here. Mummy and me and Molly went to the BX and got a card for Nana, then to the commissary to get some flowers too. We then drove all the way over to Nana's again and I fell asleep in the car and pee'd my pants - so now my car seat smells of wee and Mummy was cross as I had told her I didnt need to go when we 1st got in the car.

We stayed at Nana's all day and had a big lunch, it was fun. I got to play with Jimmy again, we did puzzles and he got his trains out again!



Can you remember what I look like Daddy? It's been SO long since we have Skyped.

Dear Daddy,

Molly was VERY naughty for Mummy last night. Mummy had to get up more than 8times - that's more than once an hour. So, today we went over to Nana's house so Mummy could relax a little bit and I could help Jimmy with his train set (he has a really cool grown up's train set!!). We also went to the garden centre and to Tescos. When we got home Grandad, Nana Jo and George came over and made us dinner. Nana Jo and Mummy then built this new shelf thingy for us! It's going to hold all of our toys! Mummy needs to order some more (bigger) baskets for it. Do you like it? It's just a bigger version of what was there already!

Dear Daddy,

This morning we drove over to see Grandad and George. It was fun, I played with George's choochoos and we walked to the shop too and I got a Kinder Egg. Then Mummy took me to school - this is where it all went horribly wrong. Usually, I eat lunch at home and THEN go to school, today, Mummy had packed me a lunch to take to school to eat with the other children. I did NOT like this, not one bit. So I started to cry in the car, then I cried more on the walk to the school and EVEN more when I got into school. Topsy gave me a cuddle and helped me to feel better. I ended up eating my lunch at school and LOVING it. Now I want to take lunch every day!

Here is a photo of Mummy and Molly looking like zombies! Molly is not very well today - she has swollen gums where teeth are trying to poke through and a snotty nose and runny, sore eyes. She is miserable!

We miss you Daddy.

Dear Daddy,

Today I went to school and Mummy was very pleased as my teacher stopped her to tell her that I am a wonderful little boy, and I'm always so well behaved. She told Mummy that I do everything they ask me to do first time and I'm very quiet and lovely to work with. Mummy was very proud and I hope you are too.

 As promised here is the photo of the puzzle - I did it ALL BY MYSELF!! Thank you Daddy! I LOVE it!

Here is Molly eating dinner out of one of the new plates you sent us! We love them!

We miss you so much Daddy, Mummy showed me on the calendar how many weeks and months we have left. I even marked it on my own calendar so I can check when I feel sad.

Dear Daddy,

Today we haven't been doing much, this morning we played at home. I am getting very good at playing with Molly. I show her how to build things and how to do puzzles. Here we are playing together...

I went to school this afternoon and when Mummy picked me up she told me that you had sent us a box! I couldn't wait to get home and open it. It was so exciting, thank you so much for our plates and I LOVED my puzzle. I did it right away! Mummy took a photo, I'll show you tomorrow.

We all miss you very, VERY much.

Dear Daddy,

It's been a warm sunny day here. We walked from our house to the BX at Mildenhall - it took 11 minutes! We found an indoor play area on the base, we didn't even know it was there! So Molly and I played for a while and then we walked home. When we got back, we gave Dot a bath, it was really funny! I helped to dry her with the hairdryer!

Mummy and I have been doing lots 'plant things'. We planted some sweet peas a few weeks ago and this weekend we put some Daffodils in food colouring so I could learn how they suck up water. It has dyed the outside of the flower - see?

Skype soon Daddy - I miss our chats!!

Love Sam xxx

Dear Daddy,

Today we went to the dinosaur park. It was really fun. We collected stamps as we went around and then at the end I got a medal. They had a really cool adventure play area and I got to see (and touch) pigs, sheep, tortoises and wallabies. We should go again when you get home! Here is Mummy pulling Molly out of a dinosaur's mouth - it tried to eat her!!

I miss you very much and was telling Mummy that I wish you could come home soon. I was hoping to see you on Skype but it seems like maybe you don't have internet?

Love Sam xx

Dear Daddy,

I am missing our chats already. We don't know where you are right now, but we love you and we hope you're OK. Yesterday Mummy had some friends over and I enjoyed it as Shannon always plays with me. Then I went to school - AGAIN. I had a great time though. I was being a 'doctor' for the class. My teacher told Mummy im one of the most caring children she has worked with, that's becasue if someone is crying I can't leave them until they're better.

Here is Molly and I this morning - blowing bubbles in milk. It was the most fun ever!! Look at Molly's smile!

Love Sam xxx

Dear Daddy,

Things have been good here. I no longer cry when Mummy leaves me at school I actually quite enjoy 'Topsy's school' now.

Here is Molly today with her side pony tail at the front, she looks for me when im at school.

Mummy told me it's less than 3 months until you come home...forever! I cant wait.

Love Sam xxx

Dear Daddy,

sorry I have been rubbish at keeping up on here. Mummy had to get a new camera from the BX as Molly and I broke her other one.

This week I have been:

 Doing all my birthday jigsaw puzzles - over and over again. I LOVE them and don't need any help at all. Molly tries to help, but I don't allow it.

 Helping Mummy cook!!

Planting our front garden. I helped Mummy pick the flowers out and then we came home and I helped to dig the holes and plant them!
