ON THE MOVE!

We've said our "Tshuss" (Goodbyes) to Heidelberg
& we're settling down for the next 2 years in the Netherlands!

We're sad to leave Heidelberg. It's been so good to us...
our neighbors, the teachers, the playgroups, bike rides...
we leave with many good memories.

At the same time, we're very excited about Joe's new job,
Executive Officer for AFNORTH Battalion.
Chance, Cole & I are very proud of him.
He's our "Rock".

We needed a change from all the hustle/bustle of moving,
so we spent Father's Day weekend at Duinrell
Amusement/Waterpark before moving into
our new home in Kerkrade on June 18.

You are my hero...

My Hero is the quiet type,
No marching bands, no media hype,
But through my eyes it's plain to see,
A hero, God has sent to me.

With gentle strength and quiet pride,
All self concern is set aside,
To reach out to our fellow man,
And be there with a helping hand.

Heroes are a rarity,
A blessing to humanity.
With all they give and all they do,
I'll bet the thing you never knew,
My quiet hero has always been you.

We love you, Joe (Da-Da)! Happy Daddy's Day....YP, "Daddy's Boy", "Chunky Monkey" & "Hunter"


HAPPY DADDY'S DAY!

Some wise words....

My father used to play with my brother
and me in the yard. Mother would come out
and say, "You're tearing up the grass."
"We're not raising grass," Dad would reply.
"We're raising boys."

There are three stages of a man's life:
He believes in Santa Claus,
he doesn't believe in Santa Claus,
he is Santa Claus.

A man's children and his garden
both reflect the amount of weeding done
during the growing season.

It is a wise father that knows his own child.
~ William Shakespeare ~

It doesn't matter who my father was;
it matters who I remember who he was.
~ Anne Sexton ~

We'll send out a family update
once we've settled into our new home!
