Andy in Iraq

Andy sent us an SD card full of pics and videos, what a treat for us all. This one was on there of him and Ben, I'm thinking it was taken here before Andy left because as far as I know Ben is still here, at least I think that is who I see each day coming and going.
I think it goes without saying that they are in a "DRY" area of the world, wonder why they post it. You know how those military type are, sometimes they need things spelled out for them.
Looks like a sand storm. I believe this is a view from Andy's barracks.
On the road to ?????? not sure.

Have Suit will travel

I'm in my Sunday best thanks to Major Dawson who is a size or two ahead of me. Also I wanted to look my best at Tripp Roy's memorial, since he was a fan of jacket/suit and ties. I couldn't sport the tie, still a bit of baby fat around that area......Please do remember our friend Amanda Roy and her children Jackson and Alyssa as they move forward in their new chapter of life without their fearless leader Tripp.
I'm thinking of jumping in for a swim, but you know that mom won't like that and besides we are going to pick daddy up at the airport after this event and I'll be all wet. Soooo, I guess I'll wait til summer for swimming.
Riku, in the front with the yellow towel, participated in the "Love Junx" event. An event for D.own Syndrome children all over the island to perform in front of the community. It was wonderful and such a joy to be among so many Down Syndrome folks, you could feel the love. Riku is one of Junko's church members. His mom and dad are so sweet. We saw a couple of folks we knew or had met at other events around the island, it was quite a reunion.
Tomo and Bethany are ice cream LOVERS. Bethany is trying to share hers with Tomo and teese him at the same time.
Of course he thinks Princess Bethany is IT.......
