Home of the Brave

I often check this blog. I'm always curious to see if Chelsea's posted something new, if someone actually commented, or see what the weather's like where the boys are at. Today, I noticed that Steve has been away for 4 months time. It's hard to believe that he's been in Iraq that long already. I know for Chelsea, Logan and his parents it's seemed longer, I'm sure. I wonder sometimes what Steve has been doing. How things are for him. If he's warm, happy. I sure hope so.

My mom finished up the stockings to be sent to the Marines. I am proud to report that over 10,000 pounds of stockings were sent to the troops. That made a total of 1,500 soldiers that received them. This included Steve and his troop. I'm so proud of my mom for making a difference. I'm sure it put a smile on all of their faces, at least for a moment. She worked so hard on this project and it's an ongoing job for her. Good job mom and all of those who donated time, money and effort!
