Hey guys, be patient with me. I do realize some of my entries have offset photos and it's screwing up the text. I'm working on fixing it!

Today we took The Reza to the airport. When we said our good-byes, I actually cried.
I had been asked on the fourth if I was looking forward to getting rid of the extra family member. I guess most people would be, but not here. She was a lovely guest and it was great for her and Morgan to be together.
During the time she was here, she kept a journal. Rene' made it for her and they dubbed it the "Ribbon Journal" because there were ribbons tied to the spiral bindings. I transcribed a copy and eventually want to have it bound for both the girls.
With The Reza here, we made some memories of a lifetime. We even had the pleasure of including her family in some of them. The Shaw family is a great bunch. This was the first time I got to really spend time with them as the first time we met, I was home on R&R from Afghanistan and just breezing through.
These are the people who loved and nurtured Morgan while I was deployed. Rene' became "Nother Mother" and Jenny became the little sis Morgan's never had.
I will forever remember the things they did for my daughter while I was away and now I've made 4 new friends that I will cherish for a lifetime.
Thank you guys and thank you for sharing your Reza with us for a month.

Some Last Minute Fun @ Frankfurt Airport!!
Saying Goodbye Isn't Easy
Saying Goodbye Isn't Easy
On the way home, I had a good laugh. I told Morgan:
"Hey, let's just drive to Italy or France or something. I mean, we're not far from either border. Better yet, let's go to Amsterdam!!!"
"Why Amsterdam?"
"Because of the really good...schools. They have great schools there!"
