Getting closer! Hallelujah (:

We were happy to talk to Anthony (though very briefly) on Sunday. He was able to call on Monday & Thursday. He is dealing with a lot, as you can imagine. Still he remains positive & handles things incredibly well. Please keep him in your prayers for strength physically, spiritually, mentally & emotionally. I'm sure you already do..but I want to be sure all areas are covered. (:

It's a blessing to have our calls & any other way to communicate. We've been able to keep each other positive & motivated. What a long, long 5 months but the time is almost here that we'll have him home with us. So much excitement, happiness & relief as well! We've been planning for our outings as a fam as well as for the two of us. We have an idea of when he should be home. Keep in mind we're not holding our breath on any dates. The sooner the better, we're greatly anticipating being together as a family at last.


Enjoy a safe & happy week. Here are a few older pics from our engagment, honeymoon & a younger Ethan (about 7mo. here) playing in daddy's boots.
We appreciate your support & love.

This is a little off the subject, but I love Anthony's tie in that picture.

Chelsea, I am so excited for you to have your husband back soon. I wish I were closer by to take E for a bit so you and Anthony could have some time together. We love you guys.

Happy Days lie ahead!
