4 Year Anniversary

We celebrated 4 years on island this weekend. We spent time reflecting on how blessed we have been over the years. This duty station has provided us with life long friends and more memories than we can count. As our time here draws to a close in the next few months, 95 days to be exact, all we can say is that Gitmo has been good to us! These pictures were taken the week of our arrival in 2005. Boy, how the kids have grown! Oh, and we will be seeing that temporary furniture again very soon- our household goods will be packed up August 20th!

Happy Birthday America!!

We hope you all have a safe and relaxing 4th of July!! Now more than ever our nation needs our prayers. May each of us take a stand for the Christian principles this nation was founded upon. God Bless America!!

Relaxing on the Bay

Since Dad had the day off of work, we decided to head out for a nice cruise around the bay with our friends the Mowbrays. Everyone had a great time, except Andrew who asked to go home for the two hours of the trip. He finally relaxed and took a plunge off the side of the boat. He happily annouced as we were pulling into the marina, "that was a great trip!" LOL!!!!! Mark and the kids also took a jump off the old battleship pier on Hospital Cay.
I volunteered to take the pictures!

Our Birthday Girl

We celebrated our sweet Gracie's 9th birthday with all of our best friends at the pool. You might not be able to tell but her cake was supposed to be a beach ball. Due to the heat, it began to melt a bit! She loved her special day and everyone had a great time.
