The weekend after Andrew's birthday we had an old Army friend and his son come stay with us. Adam first met Neville in basic training back in 2003. Thanks to the Army we haven't seen him much over the last 7 years. Actually I hadn't seen him since May 2003, but Adam was able to spend some time with him in 2008 while he went to a school in San Antonio, TX. It was so great to be able to catch up with Nev and to see how big his son Chase has gotten (Chase was 3 months old when we saw him last). We had a wonderful weekend and even went out to see some old tanks Fort Riley has on display on a hill...errrr......mountain.
