veterans day.

today we remember veterans. Veterans are people who love(d) our country enough to sign up knowing they may lose their life for our freedoms. We dont like War, and Mahmee and Daddy dont believe violence s the answer. luckily, we arent the ones faced with making big decisions about these things. and since war does happen, we have WONDERFUL people who sacrifice for our country. we are thankful to them. We like to send them Letters while tey are deployed, even strangers, and we send care packages and prayers. we can only thak them, and their families that sacrifice for us. im SO grateful we have wonderful people protecting me and my babies and my family :) here are a few people mahmee and daddy know who are serving their country :)

Aunt Kay - Mahmee's sister. She is currently in the Navy as a nurse. 

Uncle K - Just enlisted this past 6 months and is on his first R&R. He is going to do great things. 

J Green - His wife is a friend of Mahmee's from high school. he is in the Navy and right now his little boy and girl and wife do not get to see him all the time. what a great sacrifice. 

R McKeown - a friend of Mahmee's from high school. we worked together with children for awhile, and i went to church with his daddy. good men they are. 

Mahmee's birth daddy - not your Poppa Russell but the man who met my birth mommy and had me. we are thankful for his service in the military, even if he isnt around our lives much, he still sacrificed for our country. and we like that. 

S Finch - a friend of Mahmee's from high School.

S Knight - a friend of Mahmee's from our old work.

Uncle Vic - Mahmee's friend from high school and a good man. we love him, and he was in the service for over 8 years! such a great man he is! His wife Sheila and him have 4 kids, and he had to be away from them a lot :( its a good thing he did for us.

Mr Dre - Mahmee met him through letters she sent overseas to him.

Andy Ralls - Mahmee's friend Andy passed away 2 weeks after judebug was born, and while it wasnt in the military, it was related to it. im thankful for him and all he did when he was away in Iraq and i wrote him lots. i miss him, and i think about him often. especially today :( he had a little baby boy named Jaxon he never got to meet because he went to heaven, but we look out for him.

lots of people, more than we imagine, are in those other countries helpign them, and helping us, and we love them. 

those that are home now and safe, those who went to heaven, those who are away in other countries and deployed or in training. we are thankful. 

always do nice things and tell them thank you. 

aunt heather always says thanks whenever she sees someone in uniform. and its a good practice. 

much love babies. happy veterans day.
