The Home Front

Just wanted to take a minute to brag on Colleen. She is doing an AWESOME job holding down the house. There are just so many moving parts and she seems to keep them all in one bag....

Caleb and Seth are both still in Webelos Scouts and doing just awesome. About every month they are earning a new award. This last month it was the Outdoor Activity award, the Citizenship pin and they are well on their way to a couple more. They are also selling popcorn to support their upcoming camping activities. (hint, hint)

Katelyn is now signed up for cheer leading. I think she starts that up this weekend, so that should be really neat. I am looking forward to pictures and stories. She is also working with a friend of ours out at some horse stables once a week. She is learning to feed and care for horses, handle them safely and muck stables. I think that last part is her least favorite. ... Every once in a while she gets to ride them too! Not bad for turning 8 years old on the 5th of October.

All the kids are doing well in school and seem to be taking this deployment in stride. I am so blessed to have such a supportive and productive family! Now you see what I mean when I say Colleen is doing AWESOME! She is keeping all those things going while working at the Scrapbook store, keeping the family active in church, keeping the house, yard and pool looking great and supporting her husband seven time zones away. I am amazed every time I think about her. She is the greatest.

Semper Fi,
