November, Come and Gone!

As many of you know, we're back in the states!  We were on leave for a month and are now somewhat settled in our home at Ft. Rucker, AL.  We spent our leave in St. Cloud, FL seeing family and friends, shopping, and getting acclimated to the time change.  And in Range, AL seeing even more family and a few friends.  :)  The camera was forgotten about in St Cloud for the most part.  I couldn't find my camera most of the time we were in Range too, but luckily I was able to steal the pictures my dad took of "The Gathering."  We had a wonderful time in both places.  Thanks to Ken's parents for putting up with us and letting us take over their upstairs.  :)  We enjoyed being there and seeing you guys!  Thanks to my parents for letting us invade amid the chaos of having 30 people here there and everywhere, plus a few extra guests after some others had gone.  Thanks to all my brothers and sisters who traveled from afar to make "The Gathering" happen.  The kids had a GREAT time playing with their cousins and getting to know them more.  We can't wait for the next one!!!  I know most of you have seen most of the pictures before, but for those who haven't, here's a taste of what went on with us!

 This was Halloween, a few days before we left.
