Saturday - Presenting it at the WWII Memorial in Washington, DC

This is Scott and I actually walking with the Honor Guard and presenting the flag to the Memorial.
A local television reporter interviewed Scott.

Dave R., the man (WHBC youth pastor) that led Scott to the Lord pastors a church in Alexandria, VA. He was kind to pick us up at the airport Friday night and we stayed with him and his wife, Linda, and then he went with us on Saturday morning. Thank you, Dave!

Friday - Presenting the Flag to Honor Flight

On Friday afternoon at 5:00 , the families came to the airport and presented their loved ones flag to Honor Flight.

20 Burial Flags were taken. Mr. Gossett's flag was the most recent.

Honor Flight

Scott's dad's burial flag was chosen to be flown to Washington, DC and be presented at the WWII Memorial this weekend. Here is the website http://www.honorflight.net/honorflags.html There will be pictures/video of the flight soon, but I'll give you a glimpse of our very memorable weekend.

Wow, What a Weekend!

It began on Friday morning. We went to a "Birds of Prey" presentation at Botanical Garden. The boys were so good and seemed to enjoy it.

This is funny-see the black vulture? Right after this picture the bird handler moved right behind us. John David was standing between Emily and Gigi. The vulture flew up and landed on her arm, but it just brushed on top of John David. He became a little afraid, but quickly went down and sat in Papa's lap (picture below)

They had a Scarecrow Trail. The one below reminded John David and I of his mommy - Truly Emily is "Wonder Mom"!

Papa "ran" the boys through the sprinkler. I'll try to post more weekend pictures soon - it was quite memorable for us.

All the Gossett Boys!

Tonight our church softball team won a trophy!

Thursday Fun

We enjoyed the boys so much today. Here's some fun Mama Ward had...she found this bubble wrap out in the street today and made a game for the boys.

Spiderman Revisits

The first 2 pictures were made in February 2007. John David was not really sure of this costume, but today.....
We got it back out and he had a ball. He is really into Spiderman these days. Last night, walking under our weeping willow he started grabbing the branches and saying "SPYMAN". His imagination is amazing. He makes us laugh!

He stood in front of that mirror today and was fascinated. He enjoyed having extra time with Seth being on Fall Break.

Fun Weekend!

The highlight was having Nancy and Terrell from Charlotte and Kyle (Liberty) and Sharon from Florida.

The tree "moved". It's great when you know the combination to the bike lock!

This is where they do the "Walk of Champions"

Hoss and Papa
RibsSharon made sure Kyle had the proper horn!
Papa made sure that Kyle was taken care of - he could cruise with the gang!

Kyle made sure he sat beside his mommy!
Aunt Sharon came with costumes!

We enjoyed having some Liberty friends - Kyle and Tyler. We walked around Bridge Street - It's a bummer to have a hurt foot.... but Kyle got fixed up

Emily's Birthday

Notice the candle placement - 2 and 4. Happy 24th!
Happy Birthday to our precious daughter-in-law! "I can help you, Mommy." Her boys sure do take good care of her.

Papa loves Civil War Anything!

Scott and I went with the Primetimers from the church on this trip. It was located close to Chattanooga, TN. We enjoyed tagging along with Papa.

The food was very good.

Just had to sneak this in!
