Brad, Kelli, Derek, Mariah, and Hailee NEWS









News from down under......

I am officially finished with the Army. I'm still active until July 1st and then I'll be a regular civilian again.......in the meantime I'm on vacation and will start my new practice in May here in Clarksville, TN.

We are all doing very well. Kelli and the kids are looking forward to summer break from homeschooling. They'll be doing some traveling to visit friends and family. Life is great!

We recently took a week and rented a cabin in the Smoky Mountains just outside the national park. I highly recommend it. The area is gorgeous. We had beautiful weather that ranged from several inches of snow to near 80! I'm going to try to post some pictures of that trip.

The kids are getting big too fast. Derek is quite the young man. Grampa TB took a picture of Derek showing off his muscles while they were visiting. The girls are beautiful young ladies (inside and out) and have a great time with their friends.

OH....if anyone is looking for a Suburban.....I've got one for sale. Excellent shape....Great price...all the bells and whistles. Call or email for the details.

We love you all.......if you ever come this direction you are more than welcome to visit.

Brad, Kelli, and the Kids.

I agree with Luke that I feel old looking at these pictures. Remember when Andrea and I came down to Maryland to babysit Hailey when you graduated? I was just looking at pictures from that trip...really I'm getting old, and your kids are beautiful. Hi Kelli. I miss you.

Thanks for the prayers Jen!

Stacey - yes, I do remember when you came down.....hailee was only 3 days old. Seems like yesterday! You are not old......cause I'm older and that'd make me old too and I still feel young.
