Papaw's little hunter?

Chastity is learniing how to use the call so she can go hunting with Papaw when she gets bigger!
Papaw likes his little hunter!

Sharing

I thought I'd share just a few pics from our Christmas with the kids. Our long-time family friend, Paul Jones, also got to visit us for an evening. He hadn't seen the children for about 4 or 5 years.

Family

Tom and I were so happy to have all the kids and Chastity here for a late Christmas.
Aaron only got to be here for a day and a 1/2 but, we were all so glad he made it! Nathanael and Becky have left to visit other friends but, Nathanael will be in and out until Sat. He and Becky fly back to WA. Sun. morning. Aaron will be heading back to GA. where he's been working and will live for the next couple months until they move to another job.The next one may be NY. Hannah, Andy and Chastity fly out at 6 Tues. morning.
So--while it was a short visit--we were happy to be together. Nathanael will be starting sea trials ( I think that's what he called them !) in about 4 months . He'll be at sea a month or more at a time then back to port and so on. He will eventually be going away for a year or possibly a year and a half. All that to say--we don't know when we'll all be able to be together again.
Poor baby was sick most of the visit so, we're just now getting to see her at her real self. We think she's a dolly!
