How's Andy doing?

I've gotten e-mails and comments from a few of you lately wondering how my son Andy is doing, so I thought it was time for an update.

For those of you who don't know him, Andy is our youngest and is in the army. He has been stationed in South Korea since last May. He has always loved planes and helicopters and is happy to be working on the Apache helicopter. I've added a few pictures so you can see what he's doing over there.

Here he is making snow angels on the flight line. Here is the result of he and his friends work! They have been waiting for some snow and when they finally got a little bit, they had to make use of it.

I thought I should include this picture, so you could see that there is some work going on, not just play!


He e-mailed us this picture, telling us that some friends talked him into getting a tattoo. He left out the fact that it was a fake tattoo!
So - you can see that he is having a good time with friends, is enjoying his work and still has his good sense of humor. He is good about updating his blog, which I love! It's a good way to see what he is doing.
There are some changes coming up for him. He was initially sent to Korea with plans to stay for a year. Now the plan is that his entire group will be shipping out to Colorado, probably in March. They will be doing mountain training there, preparing to be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan next January. Of course, nothing is set in stone until the paperwork comes through.
Thanks to those of you that check in on him and ask about him. We appreciate it!
