We got the privilege to spend a whole day, last Sunday, with my brother.
Mom made Brent and I's favorite dinner....teriyaki chicken, scalloped potatoes, green beans, homemade rolls, salad, raspberry jello, peach pie and raspberry cream pie for dessert. YUM!
Carter loves to play Dr. How cute is he??
Daddy and Gracie
Since Brent wont be here for Christmas again this year, we had his presents early. Mom got him a t-shirt that says Hooch official walker...Hooch is his dog that is going over with him to Afghanistan.

We got to skype Grandpa and Grandma Rumble and Isaiah and Janelle in CA! What fun! They got to see Gracie for the first time and tell Brent goodbye.

The evening ended with "Indespicable Me" and a pillow fight. Brought back so many memories of Dad, Brent and me and how we used to wrestle for hours in the evening.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and while I am so very thankful that my daughter and my brother are here this year...it will be bittersweet because I will be telling Brent goodbye for 8 months. Prayers appreciated
