Sharing our Life

for a current blog post! I had the privilege of going to Fort Hood this week to see my cousin off to Iraq. For several reasons, her mom and dad were not able to come down (Hannah went up to see them the weekend before) and since we are only 4 hours from Fort Hood and family is everything to me, I couldn't let Hannah be deployed without family present. I am so proud of her for choosing to serve our country! It was a very heart wrenching experience. I cried at the thought of Hannah being over there and it was terribly sad to see husbands and wives and fathers and children saying goodbye. Please remember all the troops in your prayers!

Hey - It's only July 15 and I'm ready to update about our May! Personally I think I'm doing pretty well! So, what happened in May? We got our ears pierced!! We did more gymnastics! We said goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa Michigan. We had a really good visit and trip down to South Padre Island with them. Jaelyn had her ballet recital. They were all so cute. She had a lot of fun, but when I asked, if she was ready to sign up again, she was pretty firm about her no! We'll see if she changes her mind! We had a musical at church, Under God's Sea in 3-D. We got a hamster! Unfortunately the hamster in the picture below did die. We got a different hamster and I haven't taken a picture yet - I'll have to get on that! And we opened our pool and played with our friends (although not all of them, so we'll have you over soon!). I think that about sums up our May! Hope ya'll are have a great summer!
