We made the very looooooong drive necessary to visit with some very special family members. Mark's cousin, Paul, is stationed on an Army base where he treats the ailments of our country's soldiers. We had a remarkable and unforgetable visit. Paul's family graciously allowed us to bunk in their personal "barracks."

We posed for a family shot in front of the fireplace of Paul and Jan's living room.
Notice that Daryl is as tall as mom now!

Of course, I wanted you to see the three beautiful angels that are a part of Paul's family. They are as precious as they look! Morgan, Brook & Heather

Our two "wanna be's" with their new hero!

Daryl James and Robert Eugene

We took the boys to the PX on base and had their hair cut just like the soldier boys! The little sweetie in blue was petrified that the lady cutting Daryl's hair was going to buzz her next! She did the only thing she knew to do to prevent that from happening! The soldiers were amused by our visit.

You should know that during our visit, Markus turned 37 years old. Janice baked a yummy cake. Daryl blew an air horn after we sang the good ole' rendition of "Happy Birthday" and as soon as his Dad blew out the candles, "D" sprayed him with silly string!
