Welcome Home Jame!

My brother, James, came home from Iraq on May 4th. We all drove to El Paso to see him arrive and then we were able to spend a day or two with him. The kids did fantastic on the trip and were so excited to see their Uncle Jame come home.We are so grateful for his safe return and were blessed to be there to welcome him back.


His plane landing...we were thrilled to get to get be outside when he got off the plane. The last time he came home it took us 2 1/2 hours to get to see him. It was about 1/2 an hour this time!


His "Welcome Home party"

Could you make me cry any more? :-) I am so thankful that Jame got home safely! He's a hero to many! These pictures hit home quite a bit simply because Josh is headed to Afghanistan for a year...he leaves July 24. Please keep him and his safety in your prayers.
