On February 19th our son-in-law was looking forward to coming home for R & R to meet his 10 day old son & reunite with his wife (our daughter) & their 3 1/2 yr old daughter. However, in the morning hours of February 20th, the 'Joe's became a Wounded Warrior Family. What began as an estimated couple of weeks at Walter Reed has turned in to a 4 month stay with continued rehabilitation for 'Joe. Although Mrs. Joe hasn't been able to post much over these months, here's a link to her latest blog post regarding their upcoming homecoming ...
And now ... some updates on our little grands ...
Tag is growing up a storm! He is 4 1/2 months old and quite our little man ... his little smiles that reach from his little mouth to his beautiful blue eyes ... he is most definitely the "little man" of Walter Reed.
And Lucy ... ahhhhhhhhh. She spends a few days a week with Granny & Grandad, then a few days a week with her Mommy, Daddy & baby brother. Everybody at Walter Reed LOVES it when Lucy visits! She truly brightens everybody's days on the campus.
Grandad & I know that when they get home, 'Joe will have about another year of rehabilitation ... then back to the call of duty. We treasure the time we get to spend with our kids & our grandkids. We've spent the past couple of weekends visiting with them, having fun and helping out.
Here's the highlight of Father's Day weekend ...
Lucy is looking forward to her Daddy, Mommy & baby brother coming home to stay ...
although we know she will miss her friends at Walter Reed & the Fisher House ...
it's moments like this that we've treasured over these past 4 months.
Our grandkids ...
our heroes ...
our hearts ...
