Aaron in the Airport

It was really weird to travel with only one child but regardless of how many are in your party, airports are never fun.

Meet Officer Gil

We are so proud to tell you that our son-in-law, Julio, is now a patrolman in the Little Rock Police Department. He excelled in his class and was a first-pick by a specific division of LRPD. The first picture is of him with his little sister from NY on his right and his wife, Corinna who is expecting their 1st, is on his left. And the second picture is of him being pinned with his badge by Corinna.

WE"VE MOVED!

This is a picture of our bed in our Germany house, just before the packers took it down and put it in a crate to ship to the United States. Sometime around the last couple of days of July, Mike's medical status was upgraded to "fit for duty" after nearly 8 months recovery from his disc replacement surgery. We really expected to be assigned to Fort Huachuca, Arizona but imagine our surprise when an assignment came for Fort Riley, Kansas. Mike will go to Alabama to train for a new job as an aviation liason to an infrantry division and then he's off to Iraq to join his new unit. Shela and Aaron will stay in central Arkansas, Cabot to be specific while Mike is in Iraq. Shela will spend a few weeks in Arizona helping Ariel with her 3rd baby due end of Septemberish. She will also be able to be in the area when Corinna has her 1st end of Decemberish. Thus, our new chapter begins. But we sure do miss our Germany house and ward family and friends.
