So, Jeremy, Daynnis, and Robert are all home now. My 2nd Cousin, Glenn, is the only one now in Iraq from our family. My prayers continue for him and all of our soldiers and troops, and civilian employees who continue to put their lives on the line for all of us. I continue to pray for the Iraqi people as they strive to achieve their freedom and Independence.

I am sure she must be and probably idolizes her Grampa!

We’re pretty proud of ours, too!...she’s only 9 months old.
