Just thought I'd let everyone know the latest on Perry. He calls fairly often (not often enough, of course, for my preference) to let us hear his voice and take another sigh of relief for one more day. You may have heard about the Ambush in Afghanistan a couple of weeks ago (while we were on vacation). Well, Perry was the lucky guy to receive that call and submit it. It was a bit of excitement for him, and sadness, of course. But they are all forging onward and he's doing well and looking forward to coming home, hopefully, late October/early November. He sounds wonderful.....he likes to reminisce about the more carefree times of his life and mentally taste the foods he misses so much. I've sent him 4 care packages so far, jammed packed with comfort foods and other fun things, and he's receive several others boxes from friends and family. He is so thankful for every single one of them and all the prayers and inquiries over his welfare. I'd say he's developed a healthy appreciation for the good ol' US of A and how wonderfully blessed we are here. He continues to amaze us with the giant leaps of growth and maturity he's made. It's obvious to us that the Lord has his hand in Perry's life and we love what's happening.
P.S. These pictures still take my breath away - to think my baby is doing such grown up things!
