Brothers and a hero

OK. so dean has a BIG family....like there are 5 siblings .....and more nieces and nephews than i can keep track of.

this guy here with my hubby is his youngest brother.

he is an airborne ranger in the army and just got back from afghanistan a couple of months ago. he is here in houston visiting for a few weeks and we were so blessed that they took time to visit with us.

we love him so much. he has the cutest wife and son. i am so proud of him for serving our country.

i love to watch him with his little family because i know they all know he'll head back over seas sooner than anybody wants to talk about.

i think our service men deserve more recognition than any NFL or NBA player. their sacrifice is so great.

he flew in from afghanistan to see his son the day after he was born

and barely made it back before he turned 1.

wow.

thank you daniel.

and ashley.

and baby lucas.

(i just can't say it enough.)

they look so much alike. i love that. :)
