Labor Day weekend was full of fun, food and friends! We had a great time but we also had to share some sad news with the kids. Sunday we took them on a picnic to share with them the news that Jody has to deploy to Iraq. He brought us all out the the Iwo Jima memorial and we picniced on the hill and looked out at the spectacular view of the Washington Monument, the Capitol, and D.C. We talked about sacrifice and commitment and duty. It was a memorable moment and we spent the rest of the day at Accotink Lake park (where the pics were taken). We trust in God and have complete faith that this is what he wants for our family and that Jody will make a difference in Iraq. Please keep our family in your prayers as it will be an extremely difficult seperation for all of us. Jody will leave in Febuary and will be gone a year.
