It's beginning to look like Goodbye

 Well the Goodbye's have begun
It is always hard! Never gets easier!
We said bye to our friends, The Jaramillo's
We met them in San Antonio
and both got stationed to Pensacola
Their family is wonderful and we will miss them dearly
 Madison and Natalie are best little buddies!

Eric's squadron Farewelled him yesterday at The Oar House.
I decked out the girls in Red, White and Blue outfits
(you know---to support Daddy and all)
Chloe even wore her squadron bib




 The squadron commander said some nice things about Eric and the work he has done
I am so proud of him
He works hard
and doesn't need to hear "good job"
he puts in the effort because he cares
about the output
They presented him with an engraved sword (notice the patch on Chloe's bib)
Kate wanted to see -- but not touch!
It is crazy sharp!!!
They said to use it when the girls start dating---to scare the boys off!
Not a bad idea...hmmmm.

We love you Daddy
Thanks for working so hard for all of us

Mijeto, we are so grateful to you too for your military service - and so very proud of you - You are such a devoted officer and this Farewell gathering is reflective of how highly thought of you are!!
I love the patriotic outfits - and the family photo is absolutely great - what a beautiful family :)
