The Official Photo's are in!

These are the official photo's taken by the USAF photogropher from my dad's promotion ceremony to General (that means 4 stars) The ceremony was on January 9th at the Pentegon in the Hall of Heros. It was an unbeleiveable ceremony. It was amazing to see the support my parents got from friends both military and civilian, church friends and family. I was so glad to get to be there on such a momentous occasion in my dads career. We got to have a guided tour of the 9/11 memorial which was heart wrenching. It was a once in a life time event that is for sure!

Please Pray....

Dear Family and Friends,

I received some very sad news today regarding a friend and member of our church home. Here is what the email said...

" Please be in prayer for Neil Justice and his wife Jana and their sweet girls, Lauren and Maddie. Neil has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. He is still undergoing some testing at this point. Please pray for this sweet young family as they work through this difficult time in the lives"

Neil is a deacon at our church. He and his wife Jana both attended ACU... in fact Jana was even on my hall freshman year. They have two precious girls the oldest daughter Lauren is in my Sunday morning bible class. She is 2 years old. Her younger sister Maddie is 1. Please pray for this wonderful family. Pray that God will heal Neil and that HE will give Jana the strength and support that she needs to care for her children and husband.

Spots

Well the MD says that it is a fever virus but it sure is giving us funny looking spots everywhere. Poor Lanie she is so miserable. They cover her tiny little body from head to toe. Going back to the Md tomorrow.

Cousin's in Pajamas!

Nona brought the cousins matching penguin pajamas. It was the perfect photo opportunity!

Nona and Papa in kansas

For those of you who do not know Ryan's grandfather John Decker passed away on November 18, 2007. He was 82 years old and had been ill with Alzheimers. Before his passing we had scheduled a family trip to Kansas for thanksgiving to meet Andrew's new family and to have one last chance to all be together before the big Brady move. We were fortunate enough to find "good" airfare so that the girls and I were able to go visit and still be home to support Ryan and the rest of our family here. We arrived in Kansas early Tuesday and returned home early thanksgiving morning.
My parents flew in on Wednesday afternoon just in time for an early thanksgiving dinner with most of Bethany's family. It was a short but wonderful visit.
