We were thrilled to have Andy come home this past weekend. He came home to bring a lot of his things here, because he is scheduled to be deployed to Afghanistan in a short time. Instead of storing everything in Kentucky, he wanted to leave it here. We always love having him come home, and since he won't be back for awhile we saw lots of family this weekend as well.
Here's my sister Terri giving Andy a hug - he appears to be enjoying it, don't you think?~~~
We had an Open House so family could visit with him. Here's some of the goodies we ate!~~~
Our family room was filled!
Laura is thrilled to see my camera out again. :)~~~
Andy has a great sense of humor and when he is home we never know what he might be up to.
So - when he came in the house with this giant icicle we knew he was up to no good!
Yes - he is attacking poor Heather!~~~
Sunday we were blessed during the church service when Andy, and Bob and I went up front and people came and prayed for him and us.
Having people pray for you like this is really emotional, and I tend to be a crier anyway, so this really did me in. It was hard, but such a blessing to have so many people who care and are praying.

Sunday night we had Laura and Aaron come for supper and a birthday party.
Oliver enjoyed the tissue paper from the gifts.~~~
We packed lots of fun into those few days.
Monday afternoon Andy headed back to Kentucky, leaving a few tearful people here. He'll be going to Afghanistan soon, but we can't share the date.Those good byes are always hard on all of us, but we know we can trust God to take care of him, whether he is here, in Kentucky, or in Afghanistan.
Thanks for your prayers!
