Two weeks ago I drove with the kids up to Bloomington, Indiana to see my brother John (we call him Johnny)graduate from Indiana University. It was a 10 hour drive and Tom was not with us. (He was in Colorado working as the pistol coach for the Wounded Warrior Games.) I was a little worried about driving 10 hours alone with 4 children, but Tom did everything he could to make it easier for us, even though he was away. He got us a rental car because we don't trust our 13 year old van, and he also got us a hotel in Nashville so we could stop half way there.
Johnny is now Dr. John McGiffin, Doctor of Optometry. He already has an awesome Job lined up in Washington state just 3 hours away from where we grew up, and where our parents still live. We're so happy for him and his little family!!
Here's some pictures of the trip

Sarah had just put her hands over her face so that I couldn't take her picture, but I waited until after she took her hands off, and got her picture anyway!
We had a great time, and it was wonderful to see some of our family. Congratulations Uncle Johnny!! |
