A Fond Farewell


Last weekend we took a little trip to Grandma and Grandpa's to bid Uncle Grant farewell. Grant is married to my sister-in-law, Meg - Doug's sister obviously - and he is deploying to Iraq within the next month. It was our last weekend together before he had to leave.

Grant is an officer in the Army and this is his second mission to Iraq. On his first trip he bravely guarded the nortorious Sadam Husane. He is a tough guy. :)

This was also the first time Grant held Charlotte. Crazy, but this brave soldier was more afraid of holding a baby than his previous military missions.

We appreciate your prayers for his safety and Meg's peace of mind while he is away. We won't see him again until next Spring.
