Uncle Mike is home from Afghanistan

Dave's brother, Mike, returned home from a year long deployment in Afghanistan in late March. James' bedtime prayers have included a prayer for Uncle Mike's safety every night since he left, and James was so excited when his prayer changed to a thank you for Uncle Mike's safe return.  A couple weeks after Mike came home, we drove down to Copperas Cove (about 3 hours away) to visit him.  Nana drove up from Buda, and we had a little Stoner family reunion!

Aunt Amanda made us fajitas for lunch, we went on a short hike behind the apartment, James and Audrey blew bubbles (you'll notice in the pictures that Audrey had a wardrobe change), and we had a wonderful time catching up.  We are so happy that Mike is home safe and sound, and we are so proud of his service in the US Army!

Great to hear Mike made it home safely and good to see a Stoner family reunion.
