he's home!

my brother is home from Afghanistan! my parents, sister, and I went to Savannah to visit him, but because of some delays (nothing too surprising there!), we had some free time to enjoy savannah while we waited.

this is me chatting with Fred (well, that's what we named him) at Bass Pro Shop.


my sister-in-law being the arms for the mannequin.


and at the beach...





and then my brother finally got home! here are some pics of his from Afghanistan and some after his arrival to the states.

looks like you were having a deep conversation with fred, there. what were you guys talking about?

i agree with becky: cool video.

Hooray! I've been anxiously awaiting this post. It was good to see Seth; he's just like his sister- always with the children and making them smile! I'm glad you're home, too, Megan.

Also, how in the world do you come up with those funny picture ideas. I think and think and think about fun pics for the kids and instead they just sit there and smile. Oh well. . .

Love the video. . . good reminder. . . "lest we forget". . . Amen!

Michelle said...

You crack me up, Megan! Next time you see Fred, please tell him Hello for me. I haven't seen him in years!

Have a great time with your family!

Thanks for posting Megan.

Welcome home Seth. I greatly appreciate your sacrificing the comforts and indulgences of home to do what you do.

I don't claim to have the gift of discernment, but Fred does not seem dynamic enough for the likes of you Miss Haug.

Angela said...

Great video Megan. So glad your brother is home. Still laughing about Fred.

actually, Michelle, Fred did ask about you! he said that when your other 3 kids get home, you should all go visit him.

come on guys, NOTHING is going on between me and Fred! it was a simple conversation on Darwin's theory of evolution! (he had just watched the movie Expelled)

Elias said...

that's a good movie. did he agree or disagree with it?

I have always been humbled by the fact that fellow Americans would place their lives in danger so I could enjoy my freedom!

Thank you for the vide! And please tell your brother thank you!
