"He's in the Army now"

Jeff returned to active duty service as a soldier in the US Army. I can't tell you how proud I am of him, but at the same time I miss him very much. We have been able to talk everyday via cell phone. The kids miss him for many different reasons but one of the top being his homestyle breakfast! No eggs and bacon from Mom weekday mornings...I am sad to say it is fend for yourself at the McKinney household...we all need to be out the door at 7:30am. The first week was a bit shakey without Jeff because my sweet Mother keeps the younger boys and drops them off at school and pre-school. Mom was unable to help out that first week because my step-father (Dan) had to have heart by-pass surgery (X5). He is home and getting better each day. Did I say that some great friends stepped in and made it possible for me to work a couple of hours a day when my mom was with Dan? Thanks to all of you! I better be going it is time to pick Aydan up from pre-school.
