My Strange Soldier Guys

I "borrowed" this picture from Daniel's facebook posting. Daniel had to go to Fort Lewis for his two week training and he and William were blessed to get to see each other there. That was another answered prayer. Thank Thee, Heavenly Father.

Time to leave

At the house before we left for the airport.

Son, God be with you. I love you.

See you in the fall!

Thanksgiving Day

Thanks, Elaine, for the great meal and your generosity to all of us! Everyone was happy, but everyone was also having a lot of serious thoughts.

Random Photos

I cannot believe I did not take any photos of Williams with his children!

Special Moments

You know the saying: a picture is worth a thousand words.

better Late than Never

William flew into Dulles on Tuesday for a short Thanksgiving visit. Cynthia took the time to ride out and get a hug before he left for Richmond and family. Nancy flew in on Monday and got a rental car to take us to Richmond.

Naturally, she and William could not take a serious picture for me!
