The time has come for Andy, Michele, & Drew to move to Japan!  Andy is an orthopedic surgeon, and he is serving for 8 years in the Air Force.  They will be living on Yokota Air Force Base right outside of Tokyo, Japan.  We are so excited for them, and the adventure they are about to have.  Most importantly, we are so very proud of our family for making this sacrifice to serve our country!

 

The Eberts came through A-town on their way to Jacksonville on Tuesday.  We had an action-packed day for the cousin’s last day together!

After going to get their picture taken together (which turned out super cute), we went to story time at the library.  Of course, Drew found a choo-choo book!

Mrs. Jacobs had a 4th of July unit for the kids – it was so cute, and they all got to make flags afterward.  She even had flag socks on – the kids love her so much!

 

Our next stop for the day was Chick-fil-A.  Michele was super-impressed with the service there – they have a wonderful little lady named Edith who takes care of the dining room… they even gave us free ice cream!

   

I love these pictures of the kids standing side-by-side.  They are pretty much the same size now.

Noelle has really taken to Aunt Michele, and she is now saying "Michele" instead of "Chele."  Michele is 23 weeks pregnant with a little girl.  We spent the afternoon shopping for baby girl clothes for her to take to Japan. 

A funny memory for me from today is when Rosie called to say hey and Michele told her we were about to shop for hair "adornments."  I busted out laughing at her version of  hair "accessories."  Michele is going to be a great girl mom – she has no idea how much fun she’s in for!
