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!

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.
