How Dumb Is That?

Well, It's Wil's first leave weekend and we have NO PICTURES!!!! How dumb is that. I guess it just proves we really had a wonderful time having a wonderful time and we didn't stop to think about pictures.

We picked Wil up on Friday afternoon Sept 29, 2006, at 12.30 he was in his Class A uniform. He is required to stay in his uniform until he arrives home so, at our stop at Costco and Giant Wil got some very nice looks from some very interested young ladies . . .

We arrived home in time for Wil to surprise our neighbors (I was under the "no tell clause" in the mother- son contract) and surprise them he did. They all couldn't believe how grown up he's gotten and how GREAT he looks in his uniform.

Dad got home at his usual time and we enjoyed a good dinner and some cards afterwards. Dad and Wil and Maggie stayed up and watched a movie while the smart ones went off to bed.

Saturday Wil visited friends, watched Maggie at her TKD Intramural competition and enjoyed another evening of monopoly and movies with all of us.

Sunday we had church and then to Cracker Barrel for our favorite Sunday chicken dinner and then back to school for Wil.

It wasn't nearly as hard to take Wil back this time. We all smiled as we left knowing we had had good times and he's doing so well and well, there's always football on Thursday . . .
