Jeff's brother, Joel, finished his duty over in Iraq. They got in the Thursday before Thanksgiving. Jeff and I, with Laci in tow, met Summer, Joel's wife, and went out to Stout Field for the homecoming. It was late but I am glad we went. It's an awsome thing to witness and it was great seeing Joel again. We are glad you are home Joel.

The Homecoming
This is a pictures of the soldiers marching in. Once they are all in they are then released to go find their families. They had one hour to spend with family and then it was back on a bus down to Camp Atterbury for 5-7 days of demobilization. Joel got home Tuesday so we were able to spend Thanksgiving together as a family.
There are many things we have to be thankful for this year. Of course Joel's safe return home is on the top of the list. We are also thankful to both have stable jobs. We know people that have lost jobs recently and feel their stress. Finances are getting a bit thinner but we still have a house over our head and warm food on the table and a house full of love. With that we can get through anything.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
