Grift and another soldier are getting an award. I asked him what it was for, but since it it now July of 2006, he has forgotten. That's what happens when I go months without posting.

Sarah and Tyree we were at home writing and drawing and here they are with "love."

Tyree and Maya, one of his preschool classmates. This was her last day of school in Virginia, since they were moving.


This one is so funny. She decked him good.

We went to the commissary on base and they had a lifesize yada on display, so Tyree took a picture with him.

This was Sarah's Kindergarten Christmas Party. Of course, Tyree came along too. Here they are playing a game.


Sarah's decorating her cup cake.


Tyree decorating his.


Sarah and Tyree with their masterpieces.


Outside the classroom was the kids' gingerbread boy/girl bulletin board. It was always interesting to see how each child chose to decorate their seasonal projects.


Sarah's ginger bread girl.


We went to Grift's unit Christmas party. Here are the children with "Santa Claus." I say it that way because we have already explained to Sarah and Tyree that Santa is just pretend.


Grift is now a ripe old man of 32 years! Daddy and the kids with his cake.


A close up of Grift's birthday cake. You can't really tell how big it is, but it's massive. The pan below it is a large Pizza pan.


The Batman FANatic gets another Dark Knight for his collection.

The kids were extremely excited to make it to the 25th. Here they are in front of our little table tree before they started opening their presents. Believe it or not, most of them were sent over from our relatives. I ran out of room as the boxes were coming in the mail and I had to just start stacking them up in the back and against the wall.


Sarah made mommy and daddy this beautiful calendar at school and gave it to us for Christmas.


The kids had to stop opening presents for a couple of hours so we could all go to the Rawling's little Christmas get-together. Here are Mary and Steve.


Leguillo in reindeer head gear.


Back at the house and opening gifts. Sarah and Tyree pose with their Star Wars and Strawberry Shortcake goodies.


Books! Books! Books! They love books. I think Grandpa John got them these.


After the kids got done with their presents our living room looked like it had been wiped out by a tsunami.
