I'm back...

...well at least for a few weeks. I am enjoying the holiday break with my kids and my husband. I love Christmas!

I wanted to take the opportunity to brag just a little: I got a 4.0 this semester! I am very happy. Only one semester to go, and I will have my degree.

I also want to thank my family, friends, and neighbors for all their help and support this last semester. I definitely would not have made it without your goodness, kindness, and service.
Thank you!

Kindergarten Christmas Program

Here is our cute girl wearing her reindeer antlers for the Christmas program.

Here are the morning kindergarten students singing a fun winter song. Joey is in the back row in the center.

While walking off stage, Joey gives her principal a high five.

Erick's OCS Graduation

  He finally did it. Erick graduated from Officer Candidacy School. It was so fun to be there and meet all of his friends and fellow officers.

 
This is Erick's platoon just before swearing in as officers.

Here I am with Drill Sergeant Lenderman pinning Erick with his "butter bars." Congratulations 2 Lt. Blackham!

 
I thought this was cool. A local military supply store congratulated Erick's OCS class on their billboard.

Erick's Home!!

Here are a few pictures of Erick with his kids when he came off the plane. Super cute!

 

Here are the the welcome home signs at his parents house.
