Thanks for your prayers and support!

I am always so touched when I hear that someone is praying for Bob.  It pretty much brings me to tears every time!  Bob just couldn't understand why this happens, and I explained that it is a "Mom Thing!"  It is very comforting to know that so many of you think about Bob and support him in what he is doing.  As the days have gone by I am amazed by this.  Here is a word cloud showing those who have been praying for Bob, have sent him something, or have asked us how he is doing.  Your support means so much to us and Bob as well.  Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

*This was the list I came up with in just the last few minutes.  I apologize if I have left you out of the cloud!  I know I will be adding more names as they come to me!

Milestone of sorts!

Dan and I have both heard from Bob via Skype over the past week.  He is doing well and still in good spirits.  The milestone is that he asked us not to send any more packages his way.  He is afraid that they would not arrive by the time he leaves!!!  Excellent news!!!  Thanks to everyone who sent him something.  I know you may not have heard it personally from Bob, but I know he appreciated everything.

We are guessing that he will still be in Afghanistan for a month or so.  He is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the replacements for their group!  After some training time with the next group he will be on his way back to Germany.  I will be so relieved when he is out of Afghanistan!

Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers for Bob and all those who have chosen to serve our country!
