House Full of Kids

George and I had the Eberhardt kids stay with us this week. (I went to work each day so George was really in charge of all of the kids.) The Eberhardts, Pete and Julie, are good friends of ours. Pete is in the Army and has served in Iraq and will most likely be going back. He has recently been promoted and Julie wanted to go to his Change of Command ceremony in Texas without the kids in tow.

We were very happy to watch the kids for them. It can be so easy to forget and not think about the sacrifices that people like Pete and Julie make in order to serve our country. I don't know how they do it.

Dinner - these kids eat a lot!

Lot's of fun in the pool.

Katie - before doing one of her great dives!

We all went to Benny's last soccer practice.

Being good sports...

Ben in the net.

Hustling off the field.

And having ice cream after practice. (And after that we had pizza for dinner!)
