Dropping Back to PUNT

Okay... I have so many photos to post... I don't know where to begin. So I'm backing up (and punting...) to a really wonderful weekend that we had with some of our very favorite friends, The Combs'. We don't often take time and actually travel very far from home... so when we do, it's a very big deal. The last weekend of July we went to Dayton with Kelvin, Donna and RJ for the Dayton Air Show 2007. It was such a bittersweet trip. We had such a wonderful time of fun and fellowship with our friends! That RJ is such a doll! And the air show was AMAZING. Near the end of the air show there was a performance of two bi-planes doing a routine they call "Mary's Lamb". There was an accident - and one of the planes crashed. No amount of fun that we had on that trip can remove the heartache that Tim and I both feel for the family of Jim Leroy - the pilot that died that day. He is survived by his wife and his 4-year old son. The kids still pray for them... and talk about it from time to time.

I didn't post these photos immediately - and hesitated to post them now. But the more I've thought about it - I think that in the line of work that he was in - the best way to honor Jim Leroy would be in sharing the joy that he brought to us that day - and the fact that he was doing something that he truly loved.
