2008 Gingerbread House

Tyler wanted a picture of the gingerbread house alone because he was going to put it on his website and didn't want any embarassing parents in it.

Chef Darrell (we use that term very loosely), Tyler and Kennedy worked hard on their masterpiece.

Let it snow !!!!!!!!

Bldg. 7101
Recruit Training Command

Roger swearing in

Roger swore in on Monday, November 17th. He left for Great Lakes, Illinois a few hours later. The only thing that he can get while at bootcamp is letters. No gifts of any kind. He will be there for 8-9 weeks (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's). Every one who has been throught this says that the only thing that kept them going was letters from home. Please write him.
