For the past week we have enjoyed having almost all of our children home (usually its at Christmas).  We've had a driveway full of out-of-state vehicles and it's been a blast.  Our little house has been bursting at the seems with kids and grandkids.  So many pictures were taken and memories made.  There is never a dull moment in this home; Friday there were 17 of us, here, for lunch.  My second oldest son posted this on Facebook, "I am so blessed to have such an awesome family." I completely agree!

Our "Army Family" was definitely missed and we're praying that we all will connect during the Christmas Holiday.
