Thanksgiving, #2

On Friday, we had Turkey Day #2 in Bastrop at Roger and Jerry Lynn's house. This is David's side of the family, and Jerry Lynn is the master chef! Turkey, ham, every kind of casserole you can imagine....yummmmmm!
This was also a special holiday because it was Elijah's first Thanksgiving! Elijah was born to David's cousin, Daniel and his wife, Caanon, in August. He gets cuter by the minute!


My cute, and apparently very hungry, husband.

David set up the camera for some family portraits outside. These are his mother's parents, Grandma and PaPa.

The Jungs, with their newest gift to be thankful for, Elijah.


The whole gang!

Freedom Journey


In December of 2006, just 2 years after Byron died in Iraq, we decided to take a "Freedom Journey." We spent 3weeks on a road trip through the eastern US - from Austin east to Savannah, then all the way north to New England, and back a little inland to Texas. We traveled over 6000 miles in an effort to see our beautiful country and understand what Byron sacrificed his life for. We drove scenic routes, through small towns and big cities, stopping at places that held history in shaping our nation. We stopped at Veteran's Memorials, National Cemeteries, historical monuments and some of the most beautiful places in America. In each place, we left a "Freedom Rock," a smooth stone that had Byron's name and KIA date on one side, and said "Freedom Isn't Free" on the other. It was our way of taking Byron with us and leaving a bit of him in each special place. This experience was so healing for us, and truly one of the most memorable and special events of our entire lives. Here are our favorite pictures from the Freedom Journey.
