Veteran's Day

Here is a great big shout out to all the Veteran's who have and do serve our country. We especially want to send a shout out to our Dad's, John and Danny. We love you both. Thanks for defending our country so that we might have the freedoms we all enjoy.

Yesterday, we were all in the Colorado Springs Veteran's Day Parade. We had a great time. The girls led our exhibit and float. They carried their banners proudly. I was in charge of the banners and Tom was on the float, controlling the sound and music for the choir. It was a blast, but we were exhausted when we got home. Tom and I rested (mostly me) and the girls entertained themselves. After rest, I made lasagnas for ourselves and a friend who has a new baby boy.

Tom went to church this morning, while I stayed home with Becca. She has a cold like virus and is really feeling bad. I called my grandmother, as I often do on Sunday mornings. I love to hear her sweet rendition of the sermon she just watched on t.v.. She is 92 and still going strong.

I called my Dad to wish him a happy Veteran's Day. My Mom said that he was sick today. I can never really tell what that means, but please keep him in your prayers. He served in the Viet Nam War and has suffered serious consequences.

I thought about Scott today as he served in Iraq. I remember being afraid for Jen and the boys. Military families give so much. I just wanted to say thanks to him and all the other folks who have served so selflessly.

I think about Josh today as he is so excited about serving in the military. I am proud of him and I wish that I could have seen him in the parade today. Way to go, Josh!!!!

Happy day to all...
