Back home in Iowa

I will be posting lots of pictures in the future but for now, it is home and back to work. Things are great here, lots of fog from Hannibal, Mo north to the house but we made it safe. I went back to work today and back to work tomorrow. Keep posted, lots of pictues to come.

Thanks for all the Christmas cards and birthday cards. Special calls from Alaska and Afganistan to NM to Pennsylvania to Iowa. Love those families.

Love, Roberta

New Mexico

New Mexico weather...well, in some parts of the state is deep snow but here in Tucumcari, it's in the 40's and beautiful.

I'll have pictures to share once we get home. My daughter-in-law and son Terry and Kellee sent a wreath directly to us here and it is hanging on our house here. Just a touch of Christmas.

Talk later, Roberta

One to Afganistan, now one to Iraq

My middle son, Terry is scheduled to go to Afganistan two days after Christmas. Now my oldest, a school teacher in New Mexico will be deployed in March to go to Iraq by July 6. I am so proud of my sons but this is hard. Very hard for Moms, their wives and their kids. Pray for all of us. Love, Roberta

Decorating the Christmas Tree

While we were in NY, Terry and Kellee put up their tree for Christmas. Here are pictures that I took.

Jason's fifth birthday

While in New York with Terry and Kellee, we were also able to celebrate five year old Jason's birthday. Here are some pictures.

Thanksgiving in New York

We were so lucky to be able to journey to Carthage, NY where Terry, Kellee, Dylan, Tyler and Jason live. It was such a great holiday in spite of snow and loosing power, etc. Here are some snow and family photos!

Crossing Canada

We had a wonderful trip to see Terry and Kellee. This is the first leg of our trip; us entering Canada.
