Daniel left for Norfolk, NE today on His way to boot camp, and will pledge the next 6 years of his life to the United States Air Force tomorrow. 
Helping the kids with their school.
"Goodbye"
Driving away into the wild blue yonder where adventures, and lessons await!
I love you, Daniel. God be with you.
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20-21
We just had a visit from one of our very favorite Uncles; Ben. Here are a few highlights from the 2 and 1/2 days he was here, and a special bonus feature on just how he became related to us!
Washing dishes.
Reading stories, such a good Uncle! Wait, he wasn't our uncle yet!
Comparing glove sizes:-)
Saturday's cleaning. (No this is not, Ben)
The Babybiter..., Oh! I Mean Baby SITTER!
" Hey, Ben is not so bad!"
"Oh look its Emily,' Eeeeemmmmiiillllyyyy, Ben BIT my finger!"
The older Wattermann kids came over to play cards, music, and talk about guns.
The boys talking about guns.

Bonus Feature
We took Ben to our church in Omaha on Sunday where we were all asked how he was related to us.:-P After setting a few people straight that he was not a relative, Dad was asked if Ben was his brother; he said yes, his older brother! (Sorry ,Ben!) Thus Ben was admitted into our family as our Uncle. He even got certification papers! As for the Unkling part; Michael called Ben a "Tiozinho" a Portuguese word that literally translates out to little Uncle, or Unkling.

"Pudding", and "You may lick the bowl"...

My excuse for the lack of posting? The plague has hit; we have 6 down with high fevers, throwing up, coughs, sore throats, runny noses, etc...
IN the beauty of holiness,
We see you son of Righteousness
So we bring all that we possess
To lay at your feet"

Thank you all so much for your prayers, and kind get well notes! I am doing much better! Unfortunately Rosie got the illness about a day after I did so we were "sick buddies"! She is still not feeling all that good but, she is doing better.
Thanks again!
Hillary's blog is being hacked, to let all her loyal readers know the reason for her decline in recent posting. For the past 4 days she has been rather sick with an unknown 'flu' of the high fever variety. Hence, all you loyal readers, I encourage you to send her well wishes and encouragements to rest, drink lots of liquids and take Tylenol to bring down her fever.
