Biggest family news of the summer.

Gosh, has it really been three weeks since my last post? Well, you know what they say, "time flies when you're having fun." Well, we must be having lots of fun; I know we're staying busy. The Remos is flying so much we hardly have time to fuel it, and we've gotten several new Light Sport students just because of the Remos. Cheryl and I spent the weekend at Sam A. Baker state park down in southeast Missouri, and had a great time at her family reunion. In the last couple of weeks, we've celebrated my Dad's Birthday, took in the last couple of Muny Opera productions, and spent a day at the Missouri Botanical garden. We've just been enjoying the fabulous weather we've been experiencing.

Enough of the chit chat. The big news…….. Justin is home from Iraq. If you’re new to the blog, our youngest son, Justin, is an Air Traffic Controller for the Missouri Air National Guard, and he has been in Iraq all summer. That’s probably why Cheryl and I have tried to stay so busy. Justin was deployed to Kirkuk, Iraq and I wrote about him here, when he left. Hearing his stories, and seeing his pictures, I'm an even bigger fan. Of course, our grocery bill just doubled, (or tripled), we once again have a non-stop stream of twenty-something kids coming and going, and parking is at a premium. Nonetheless, we are so grateful for his safe return and appreciative of his service to our country. Please continue to pray for his friends still deployed, as well as all of our service men and women where ever they are.

God bless America.
