Iโ€™m beyond thrilled my parents will meet their great-grandkids. After 2 1/2 years there will be lots of joy around THE Family Table when our Air Force men, their wives, and precious babies gather together. My home is here. And although they were both raised in Missouri, they have established their own homes with their families, and thatโ€™s what home is~family. Itโ€™s not a place. Itโ€™s the people. Family is everything. โค๏ธ

Oh, the joy to see a highchair!
Momโ€™s rocker, sonsโ€™ blankets, and a pup
Table made by my Uncle O.J. when the boys were small.
Books for Grammy K and grandkids…and a pup.

Have faith ๐Ÿ’š
