We Have a Hero Among Us!

Our Family ARMY Party!
This game was planned and carried out by Aubrey.
It was, pin the nose on the ARMY Guy!

This was our, Landmine Game. (the balloons were landmines and you had to retrieve a grenade: (pop-rocks attached a a round balloon, without touching a landmine)

Our last family picture with
all of us together for a while...
Saying goodbyes at the hotel , the night before dad shipped out. We had spent a nice day together as a family!





We thought the pictures above would be our last time to see our army guy but we had a pleasant surprise when he woke me the next morning telling us we could meet him at the M.E.P.S office and see him be sworn in.



After seeing him be sworn in, we followed him over to the airport to spend a few more minutes together.
We Love You Daddy!
We are so proud of him for choosing to serve our country! We know this was the right thing for our family to do at this time, and though there will be challenges ahead, we know we will continue to be led and blessed as we follow where the Lord wants us to go!
"...for He shall, direct of thy paths."

It was so fun having you guys stay with us and getting to know you better--you really have a wonderful family and super cute too. I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful generosity with leaving us some money, you defenitly didn't have to do that but it was much appreciated. By the way, you caught us just in time, because in the last 3 weeks we actually moved out of the condo and into a studio apartment, so you guys were one of the last family to stay with us.
