Even the dogs had lots of fun…that’s Lexi {Abi & Ryan’s dog} with Charlee….five dogs altogether…Kimber {Ty & Sarah’s dog}…Mogley {Ab&Ry’s other dog} and our Nelly & Charlee…the dogs all had a blast as well….
Autumn was able to come for two days….up until about 2 days before it looked like her work wasn’t going to let her off at all….Power of Prayer!!
Making ornaments together….
A Christmas Tree decorated for Thanksgiving….with ornaments we mostly made….to celebrate together the holidays that Tyler will be gone for…..

Nothing like a big brother’s love…

Linny – what a BEAUTIFUL time and celebration. Praying for Tyler's safety and the rest. 🙂

Prayers for Tyler and your whole family. Looks like a wonderful celebration. When my husband was in Iraq, my Mother-in-law kept the Christmas tree up until he returned (in April) to celebrate. 🙂
I love it! OChristgiving! Praying for safety for your entire family wherever they may be.
Have safe trip home; looks like you had a blessed time. Just wanted to thank you for visiting my blog and your gracious comment; to God be the glory.
Oh my goodness! When you said that you said your goodbyes I got all teary eyed. Thats a tough one.
FLAGSTAFF??? I only live about an hour from there. Are you all gonna be spending the night there? huh? huh? : )
What a Blessing!!! Praying for your mommy's heart that longs for more of that!!!
Happy Christ-giving day for you all! Praying for Tyler's safety.
Love,
Janet and gang
ahhhhhhhhh. moocho tears! Dear Lord— what it must do to a grown son to feel so adored, so deeply delighted for him. What an EXTREME HONOR for the rest of us, that he serves, as he serves our country. Thank you…. from the bottom of our hearts. You have a fine son.
Praying for journey mercies for your family as you all head your separate ways.
Praying a hedge of protection be placed around TY and his battlion as they deploy.
Blessings,
Suzanne
Looking at your precious pics makes me 1)want to be part of your family, and 2) want my family to be like yours. Oh how amazing that you all gathered for a holiday marathon for Tyler.
Praying for his safety and for your healing. Those two packaged together would make the perfect gift for OChristGiving Day!
Much Love,
Kathie
I love OChristgiving Day!
Just prayed for Tyler and was that Everyone Poops he was reading?
Hi Linny,
I've been reading your blog for a couple of years now (!) and have not been leaving comments or come out of comments. So, today is as good a day as any to say "Hi Linny! You have been a blessing to me! I pray often for you and your family and I thank God for the work that He is doing in you and through you." Along those lines, I wanted to encourage you that your words on this blog are making an eternal impact for God's kingdom. Your words about adoption were one of many factors that has led us to adopt! We are working to bring home a precious child from South Korea right now.
In Christ,
Sarah from Leavenworth, KS (Army!)
Oh dear! That would indeed be the book. It's Abi's for Finn. LOL…couldn't believe you could tell…you must be very well-versed in it! xo
