Memorial Weekend

What a wonderful long weekend it was! Emma enjoyed her first official "swim" and her folks enjoyed the beautiful weather.















Instead of hot dogs and other traditional holiday food, Emma cooked up a nice.....


KNUCKLE SANDWICH!

What can I say... she's almost one... girl has some attitude now.






.... and lots of new teeth.


But most of all, we were happy to celebrate and honor those who have given their lives in service to our great nation. It seemed to hit especially hard this year because of those we have lost. Robby's nephew Daniel gave his life for us almost two years ago. It still seems so fresh a wound. He left behind a beautiful little girl only a few years older than Emma. I am so thankful to him for all he gave...
...so that we can be free.
