More pictures

Ryan sent an email this morning saying that his biggest complaint over there is the smell of oil. He says as soon as he steps outside, it is overwhelming. Christie wants more pictures, so I went through and found some. This one is again from the day before Ryan left...the girls were in a good mood, so we took a bunch of pictures that day. I'll keep posting them...

Ryan and the Mist

Ryan sent me this picture this morning...I don't know what the mist was for, but this is the first picture we have gotten from him since he has been gone.

Getting Ready for School

This was a rough morning...Faith did not want to get up and Grace did not want to have her hair combed for Picture Day at school. Faith then kept asking for Ryan and was not satisfied with my standard answer that "Daddy is on a big trip with the soldiers". When we were all finally dressed and ready to leave for school, I decided we should take a picture to show that we had made it through our rough morning.

12 Sep 2007

Today is the day before Ryan leaves for Iraq. We spent the day together as a family, and had fun at the park by our house. We could hear Aggie howling from over a block away! Faith had fun with Ryan standing and pushing her on the swing, and Grace was lurking at some of the other people playing in the park.
