God Bless, Austin!

Austin started his journey home from Afghanistan at the end of August!!!

Uncle Dick and Aunt Pepper have been very supportive and have done very thoughtful things throughout this past year for him to recognize him!! Before we left for New York, this awesome gift arrived from Dick and Pepper honoring Austin!

Thank you, thank you!!! We are going to actually hang it is the house so keep it safe and have it forever!!!

Blessings of Babysitting!

It is easy to forget the fun of having a little one around the house...well I have been blessed with having that chance once again by babysitting sweet Madison (my neighbors granddaughter). Always willing to help out with the chores..

Loves Gunner to pieces...
and Gunner LOVES her!!!
Playing dress up and loving the water..

Madison loves stuffed animals....she tries to carry as many as she can-do not mess with her when she is holding one or 10 of them=)

OH and how she loves to get dirty!!!!!

It is fun to see and watch how fast she is changing and how much she loves to explore! She fits right in with my kids so well...their little sister=)
