Half-way through the shower a lady walked up to me crying and said her son was in Iraq and today is his birthday. She had seen me in uniform earlier in the hall. She abruptly said she had to go and left. This was a great reminder of the sacrifice everyday people make for the greatest nation on Earth. It makes it harder to listen to people gripe that don't even have "a dog in the race."

Baby Shower
Today Vanessa's work threw Ellie a baby shower. It was awesome to see how much support Vanessa has at work. Her kindness and addictive personality draw great people to her. God's plan has surely been favorable to us and hopefully we can raise Ellie in a way to mirror her mother. It was great to see Vanessa open gifts from her friends. Here is an actions shot.

that is some commitment driving to the shower! Usually they don't want the guys there even if they're in the other room! :) Maybe it's that the guys don't want to be there...
