Fun Stuffed Animals

The girls have been getting some great gifts in lull of all this Daddy going away stuff. Justin made them each a bear at Build a Bear Workshop, and included a recording in them telling them that he loved them and stuff. He took a few mins alone with each girl and talked to them and helped them get the clothes on the bear. Now, anytime they want to hear their Dad tell them he loves them, they just have to squeeze a paw.

They were also given a photokinz by the family readiness/support group thing . It is a stuffed animal (dog in their case) that you can put digital pics on and it shows a slide show of them on its belly. It is really neat, and the girls couldn't wait to fill them with pictures of them and Justin. They especially love ones of them when they were babies.

Here are some pics of Justin and the girls before he left on Sun.

This is Justin's brother, Shane, and their Dad.

Justin with Shane Mickelson: (they fly, and should be flying, together a lot)

*People are probably sick of seeing stuff about military junk, and it's only just begun I'm sure. I know I'm sick of it already, but unfortunately this will be my life for the next year.

**I also want to thank everyone for their nice comments, emails, phone calls, thoughts, prayers, ect. It really does help. Thank you! :)
