it's almost christmas!

-k- so it's almost christmas!! yay sherry managed to finally break cory and we got a family kitten (sherry considered it an early christmas!) she's a beautiful little black fuzzball named jasmine! yes nikoy named her! sherry has fallen completely for her, she cant take 3 steps without being attacked by the fuzzball...cory's doesnt much care for it, but..he'll learn.. (n_n) hehe ...

we also had 2 christmas parties on one day! wooh! we had cory's work party which was fun, they had a dinner and some games and some white elephant gifts.... and stuff...nikoy and kaylee sat on santa's lap! nikoy had fun and yelled for a bike, kaylee cried and reached for mommy...

then at the ward party we got to be festive and dress up in biblical times.. they had light snacks... and told the story of jesus's birth, and then we all went home.......it was nice i guess...

so, yeah..

well, on a more, irritating note... our car is in the shop...AGAIN!! hopefully for the last time.. it wouldnt be so bad except that we are having to pay for all these repairs in euro, which is getting quite expensive.. the going rate from euro to dollers is about 65 euro cents is equal to one doller... so, when we pull 20 euros out of our account it actually pulls out 30 dollers....ouch...so we lose 10 bucks! and thats hurts.. so yeah.. ...anywho..

we are so ready for christmas to get here, nikoy has seen santa a few times and proudly announces to the entire store at the top of her lungs that she wants a new bike! at least she's not asking for a pony! kaylee's not quite good enough at talking to tell us what she wants, so we took her to the toy store and set her down and watched..she gave us a few good ideas!! she's getting so much better though! she's so silly! she'll do something naughty and sherry will say " do you need some time out?" and kaylee says no, and then walks over to the corner and leans her head against it and pouts for a minute or 2, then she walks away.. sucha goose.

cory is coming along. he can use his hand a little bit, at least he was able to bring up the groceries the other day! we are excited to get his pins out, then he'll be in a removable cast, he'll go to physical therapy 2-3 times a week and we'll see if he gets any feeling back in his thumb and first finger! he's getting a fun thing from "santa" (more like MRS. clause actually...) and he needs both his hands for it, so he's excited..

and sherry? well, she's just happy to be here.

And then there was a tree!

Hello to all.

We are doing great, getting ready for the Chirstmas Hoildays and trying to beat the rush. We set up our tree late, late thanksgiving night, and Sherry and I awoke to Nikoy standing at our bed telling us that there is a tree in our front room! Sherry asked her where it came from, and She respondedwith Daddy put it there! Sherry asked Are you sure? and she said Shocked, "Wow it growed!" So we all got up and put up lights, bells and balls. We went out and let the girls get a new special orniment for the tree!








We think it was a good choice! We found it at a Chirstmas Bazar off base. It says 2007 on the other side in pretty gold!
with a silk screened santa on the front!








Overall I think we have a very nice tree this year and so does Nikoy and Kaylee !
As for other things Cory is healing slowly but he is working hard to get his strength back,,, sometimes to hard. We are finally sleeping through the night now that he is not tossing and turning so much throughout the night. He is working in the Production control at is shop, he orders all the equipment needed for the machanics. It is difficult for him, because he is trying to push to fast. Yesterday he was at work all day, then he went to Honor Guard, then he came home, inhaled dinner and was off to scouts! of course as things go, we got a phone call just before he left, it was the scout master saying he had to work late and cory was in charge that night! ...no rest for the weary.... so cory got home and him and sherry stayed up till midnight putting together some new ABU's ( airman battle uniform) for cory. it's much easier then the normal BDU's (battle dress uniform) the difference is the BDU's are the typical black, brown, tan and green colors, the ABU's are blue and green and grey really dull colors, sherry loves them though, they bring out cory's eyes.... :)...and they only have the stripes on the sleeves and the maintenace badge and the name tapes ("anderson" and "Airforce") so only five things to sew on instead of seven or eight. (yay!!)

The girls are growing so fast you could messure them everyday and they'll have grown inches!!! kaylee has added "bye-bye" and "no" to her vocabulary. which as of now consists of "hi, mom, dad, owie, bonk," dad's favorite "yeah", and mommies fave,"what?" kaylee has almost outgrown all her 18 month outifts... she's got such a big head!! nikoy is out growing the length of all her outfits, but the width is terribly baggy....it's like we are constantly buying them clothes!

Sherry is slowly losing her mind..but then again thats nothing new... she's learned she has a pinched nerve in her shoulder and if she really wants to she can go through some physical therapy to get rid of it (but who has the time...or the car???) they think with some various streches and some deep tissue massages it'll be fixed in no time....which is exactly what we have...no time....
well, thats about it, we hope all is well with everyone! be safe and have a happy holiday season! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!



love always! ~~~~~~,~~{@ The Euro-Anderson's!

Thanksgiving in Europe

Hello to ALL!

As you can see we have started our Blogger to keep everyone up to date on our progress over here in Germany! things are very screwy right now due to my arm injury and the holiday coming up so fast!

Cory is not doing to well with his hand. He has lost most of the feeling in his right hand and there is a good chance that the feeling will never come back. The Air Force is thinking about putting him through a MEB (Medical Eval Board) to see if he is still able to uphold the standards that the Air Force requires. Most of you think that us getting out now would be a good thing, but there is never anything good with the military unless you discharge Honorably. Cory will not just let this beat him. Being discharged Medically is not an option! There is a chance that he could crossed-trained into a different field and by he that would be excellent!

Cory's on sick leave it's nice to have him home!

We are doing great and staying busy. We are trying to decide whether we should move off base and live in the Germany economy to get the real European experience or not. The home we live in now is small and very cramped, not to mention that it is on the third story of an apartment building. If we move it will be at the start of next year! We also have the option of staying on base and moving into a town-home, but the waiting list is complex and there is to much red tape.

Nikoy is, as always a busy little girl! she's getting so big so fast we can hardly keep up with her! and Kaylee isnt far behind! Kaylee has learned to feed herself with a spoon, which makes things easier! yay!

This week is thanksgiving and we want to share with all our family and friends that you all very special to us. We couldn't do what we are doing without all of your support. We ask that you all have a safe and happy thanksgiving and we will stay in touch as best we can with everyone!

Nikoy Lynn Says: "I Love All of You"

Love you all Cory, Sherry, Nikoy & Kaylee:)

TTFN..... Tah-Tah For Now!
