We now have a one year old and two year old! Thank you all for the birthday cards and gifts. Jim has had a crazy schedule while preparing for their deployment. They had a two week exercise to simulate what they can expect. Jim was on night shift from 9 pm to 9 am. During those two weeks, Mike and Mary came for a visit. It was full of trips to the park, military museums, 500 rummy and birthday parties. Because Jim is in the 82nd Airborne Division, Jim will have to jump atleast once every 3 months to keep his Airborne status. So we all got to watch this while Grandma and Grandpa Cook were here.
