It has been fun making this album, I've learned even more about my mom's side of the family. She has spent the last 6 months going over these documents getting everyone straight that she is now on a first name basis with them...me not yet but I'm getting there....My second couin served in the Army during WWII...so it has been my honor to make this album for him and his family...My nephew was home this last two weeks on leave...he is in the Army and is headed to Iraq in the next two weeks...He is just 6 months younger than my middle son and like a son to me...a bit of my heart went with him. A friend of mine has her own photography studio and she took these photos of him with his daughter (my great-niece), Cadence.

You know, we sometimes don't realise just how precious our family is to us until someone we love so much decides to protect their country. I wish I had family photos and listened to my dad more because now I can't remember most of what he told me. So sad, but I loved him and that makes it ok. I am humbled by the American way of life where families are concerned and absolutely love how you scrapbook your memories.
Luv Joanne xx
