Chicago Trip

Just a few pictures from our last trip to Chicago over Father's day weekend. Donald, Joseph and all of the Diffy's left on Wednesday night, and I flew out on Friday evening. The reason for going was Carmen's 75th birthday celebrations. They had her bday party on Friday night with a big family cook-out, and the surprise bash put on by her family on Saturday night. It was fun to get all dressed up! My boys were so handsome in their suits! The evening consisted of a wonderful meal, music with a DJ, dancing, and a Mariachi Band (which is Carmen's favorite).

Prayers for Josh

Our Godson, Josh Baker has left for Afghanistan for 400 days, please pray for his safety as well as his group. Family and friends gathered at their home in north Alabama for all of us to see and love on Josh before he left for New Jersey on June 26Th. We drove up to the airport in Huntsville to see him, it was a very emotional time for all of us as we watched him go through the gate. This war has always been emotional and many prayers for our military have went up from our family, but until it actually touches someone you love I don't believe we even truly imagine what other families are going through. Please pray for his safety and health during these 400 days, as well as all of our other military men and women who have serving our country.

Beach 2009

We took a short trip to Destin over Memorial Day weekend. It rained a lot so we went bowling, played pool at the Hurricane Lanes, ate a lot of seafood (except Alicia she ate a lot of chicken). Took Alicia crabbing with a flashlight(she did not like this southern beach tradition at all!) The red flag was out the whole time we were there, but the surfers were out anyway.
