Next stop...North Carolina!!!

So, as you might remember from earlier posts, our furlough began in Florida with Wendi's family: Dad and Mom, and sister Lori and her family.  Sister Erin and her family couldn't make it to our Florida time for a very legitimate reason...she delivered her fourth child one of the weekends that we were in Florida!  So, she stayed in North Carolina with her family (where they live) and waited to see us until the first of July...and WE waited until then to see her newborn baby Parker!

So...on July 2nd, we left Illinois and drove to North Carolina where we were greeted by Erin and Chad and their four kids, as well as Lori and Brian and their two kids, and Mom and Dad, too, who had all come up from Florida for the party!  SO...we were all together...the 19 of us!  We had a wonderful time, and were truly able to relax and enjoy everyone, while having so much fun in Chad and Erin's stomping grounds.  They had so many fun things for us to do, and we loved every minute of it!  We are truly blessed with the relationships in our families!
