a day we get to spend with Caroline! What could be better! Today, Craig decided to put Caroline in her first parade. The Memorial Day Parade was taking place in Cairo, and we decided to make it a family affair. But we couldn't just stand along the side and watch...we had to be in it! So we piled into the fire truck for Caroline's first parade!

.Now they've jumped over to the ambulance!
As you can see, Caroline had a fantastic day at the parade. We are so proud of Craig for being a fireman. He makes huge sacrifices constantly for the well being of others. Though we do miss him terribly and say our prayers every time he gets called out, we are so proud of the job he does. When a home is saved from a fire, or when someone's life is saved, we are so proud and blessed to say "Hey! That's our daddy!"
THE FIREMAN'S PRAYER
When I am called to duty, God,
Wherever flames may rage,
Give me the strength
to save some life,
What ever be its age.
Help me to embrace a little child,
Before it is too late
or some older person
from the horror of that fate.
Enable me to be alert
and hear the weakest shout
and quickly and efficiently,
To put the fire out.
And if according to your will,
I have to lose my life,
Please bless
with your protecting hand,
My children and my wife.
