A Long Time In Coming

 

Jesse spent Christmas week with us. He is currently stationed at Pearl Harbor, HI. It has been 2 & 1/2 years since he has been home. Last year he planned to make it home for Christmas but was deployed by submarine at the last minute. He just received a promotion and is now Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Jesse Bird.

We were joined for dinner on Christmas Day by Caelen, Samantha & their daughter. It was her first Christmas.

A Cotton Ginnie Christmas

I completed a special order for Linen Christmas Stockings for Caelen & Samantha. You may notice that she requested 4 (?). I have other Christmas projects under way. I'll have to blog later. Also, this is the first time we will be visiting with my kids Lieutenant Jesse Bird and his wife Gabrielle in two and a half years. Jesse has spent the last two Christmases at sea.

And Waiting ...
