Sad day Friday

Friday will be a sad day as Uncle Ry-Ry leaves. Last night we had dinner together (I will load those photos later) and said Good-Bye to Uncle Ry-Ry. He is heading over to Iraq to serve! He will be in Washington State for a month of training and then will head over to Iraq.

The bad thing is that he will be gone for a full year.

The good thing is that he is military intelligence with non-lethal something or another- which means it is less 'dangerous'. I do think anything related to Iraq can be dangerous but we are glad he will be somewhat 'behind the scenes'.

This photo is Uncle Ry-Ry teaching Brandon how to play Rockband 2.

While Uncle Ry-Ry is gone Brandon will hold down the MN Gopher world with his special sweatshirt that matches Uncle Ry-Ry's.

Brandon will miss him and be excited when he gets home to show him how big he has gotten! He will be 1 when he comes home...almost 2! WOW!!!

We will miss you Uncle Ry-Ry.
