Lantz, Eric's little brother, joined the Navy right out of high school. And even though we don't get to see him as often as we would like he is always thinking of the kids. He bought Connor a little outfit & a Navy bear crib toy when I found out I was having a boy. The other picture is of McKenna and him on the flight deck of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln. We got to tour the ship way back when I was pregnant with Morgan. He's always thinking of the kids when he is away, he has brought back a tea set for McKenna from Japan, and sent them a postcard from Dubai.
He's home but just for a little while, it was the first time he got to meet Connor in person! He brought him a little stuffed Camel from Singapore (I think)! He'll be away for 3 years, one year in Iraq and two in Japan! :-( We will miss him dearly, but like always I will send him packages with homemade cookies and of course LOTS of pictures of his nieces and nephew!
Every year since McKenna was 11 months old I have taken fall pictures of her, then Morgan came along and the tradition continues! And now we have Connor and he is stuck enduring my countless pictures of him as well! I decided to add to a couple phots from the past to see how the kids have grown! Happy Fall!
