Hi everybody. It's been a long time since we posted anything. For those who don't know I (Brian) was in the States doing the Army C-12 course from Apr to Jul, so we were not advertising that Shellye was home with the kids alone.
Jesse's school got over the first week of Jun and that's when Shellye and the kids got to her mom's house in Elba, AL a short distance from where I was flying.
Sarah took well to her Grandma and all the other new family she met. Shellye and I left the kids at Pearlie's and went on the Focus on the Family cruise from 7-14 July from Seattle to Alaska. My brother, Bruce flew in from Korea and our friends the Greens (with 12 kids) flew in from DC, so it was the three of us couples hanging out from the week. We had a great time and Focuse and great speakers. Here are some shots. First are some of the formal nights, this is me, Bruce and Howard Green.
Here's us:
Our stop in Juneau at some gardens and Mendenhall Glacier.
Here's us in Sitka, AK
Entering the bay where Hubbard Glacier is:
Passing in front of the glacier. Me and Shellye and me and my brother, Bruce.
The last port call was in Victoria, British Colombia
Don't call PETA on us. These gulls came in really close.
And finally some shots with some of the staff from Focus, us and the Daley's, he's the new President and runs day-to-day operations. Super sweet couple.
And us with the Dobsons.
Shellye and the kids will be back in Brazil on 5 Aug and we should have some more pictures to post.
