Thomas in His Dress Blue's

Sunday
September 6, 2009

We woke up this morning and had our coffee inside since it was raining. Apparently this was the first rain in over two weeks. We could tell since most of the grass in the yard was brown. From there we woke up Thomas. He then dressed into his dress blue uniform for church.

He and Haley then went to church. I wrote and published the blog while Gina worked on printing some pictures. We then went to Jack & Sue’s house for lunch. Thomas & Haley met us over there after church. Jack & Sue became our children’s adopted grandparents when Thomas was only 18 months old. They are very special grandparents to Thomas and to us.

From there Thomas went to visit and show Uncle Jim and Aunt Nell his uniform.

We then made it back home and Uncle Rickey & Aunt Dana stopped by to see Thomas. I took some pictures only to find out later that I didn't have a memory card in the camera. I have to catch a picture of Thomas with them at a later time. Thomas then left to visit some of his friends. He called us later and asked what was for dinner and we asked him what he wanted. He wanted fried pork again so we went to Walmart and bought a pork tenderloin. When we got home we did a video conference with Ashley & Parker in Grenada.

This was the first time that Ashley was able to see Thomas other than in pictures. We then cooked and ate dinner. It all tasted great and Thomas was happy. Gina and Haley then went back to Walmart to buy everything we needed for the party we’re having tomorrow in celebration of Thomas’s graduation. They got back home around 10:30. After everything was put away we all went to bed. It was a wonderful day seeing Thomas in his dress blue uniform.

Until tomorrow, Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
