John the Conquerer

Our son, John, was home on leave during Spring Break so we spent some great times together both at the cabin and in Durham with the girls.  John has completed dive training and has now moved on to his more advanced training with the Navy.  While at the cabin he "conquered" a branch that had broken off high up in one of the trees closest to the deck that, thanks to the winter ice storms, was hanging rather precariously.  Now we can sit on the deck safely!!  It was great to be together as a family - with all our busy schedules and John's duty, those times are few and far between.  Enjoy the ones you love as much as possible while they are young.  Down the road, who knows where they'll be in this big wide world!
