Hey Jude

My dad got to meet Jude for the first time! He came for one day the weekend after Thanksgiving. We all wished he could have stayed longer, but hopefully a longer visit soon.





James with his arm around Grandpa. He cried when Grandpa left. :(



We went fishing, and then out for some Nancy's Italian Ice.

The only grandparent left for Jude to meet is my Mom. It may be a while before that will happen though, because airfare from San Antonio to Montgomery is quite expensive. It's so sad that we don't live nearby. This sweet baby is one of three of my biggest accomplishments, and I can't share that with the people I love most.

The hardest part of the military thing is being far away from family. It only makes my own little family stronger though. I cherish them with all my heart!

Jason's parents came for Thanksgiving. It was so nice to share our home with them. We enjoyed the company! A classmate of Jason's from Botswana also joined us. He was interesting to talk to and we enjoyed his musical talents on our piano!
