Panama City

My family has been amazing during this deployment.  They have ensured that each month somebody is visiting us.  Looking forward to the next visit/visitor has helped the time pass and break up what started as a long count-down for Ryan's return.

In April Allison and her family flew to Panama City, Florida to meet us for a vacation.  The boys were counting down the days until they could see their cousins.  Panama City is only two hours from us so the travel part for us was very manageable.

We shared a condo right on the beach....here was the view!

6-Pack:  These six always pick up just where they left off.  They truly love one another!!
