Bringing Henry Home: Eisenhower's got nothin' on me....

Friday, August 12, 2011

Eisenhower's got nothin' on me....

Planning the D-Day invasion....

puh.

Child's Play.

Try planning for an extended trip overseas with no definite date of return and getting your 6 children living at home attending 5 different schools ready to begin while you are gone...

Why, yes West Point, I am ready to serve as a consultant whenever my country needs me.

HA! Love this :) It is A.LOT. to get out of the US and over here (we left 5 kiddos at home with various family members willing to step up to the challenge!) but So worth it. Praying for you as you make your final preparations to meet your precious baby boy!
