Merry Christmas!

Lori loves to make me cry, so you'll notice who's topping MY tree this year? I think he looks pretty happy there.


We had an open house today so that my friends could come visit with Arnold. I made lots of cookies! Arnold made the fudge. Yum.


We didn't get a family photo on graduation day, so Joan took one for us today. Aw. He looks so good in that uniform!

So very proud of Arnold! So happy that Lori and Gary and Heidi were able to join us for his graduation! What an amazing, emotional few days.


We had fun together in San Diego and Legoland before flying home. And we have the great pleasure of having him home for a few weeks before he heads back to Camp Pendelton.
