Angie's visit

Angie visited this week, fresh from graduating her Intelligence school in AZ. We had tons of fun (she did too!)

"Is that You, Lord?"

Saying bye to Angie. :-(

For some reason, Joey loved playing in Angie's purse.






We already miss you Angie! Good luck at Airborne School!!!! You're gonna knock 'em dead!
Hurry back!
