The pictures below are a compilation of photos covering the move from St. Louis to South Africa. There are several pictures from our last trip to our condo on Table Rock Lake in Branson, on which Mary Beth and John Natoli joined us.

Just prior to leaving MO., we had a small party for Brett's 2nd BD. Grandpa Norm and "Grandpa" Judy Liskey were in town for the bash also the Natoli's, Steve Notar Donato and Karen Miller were kind enough to share in Brett's big day.

In addition, I added pictures from our week stay in Elmhurst at the Rose Brown "flop house and eatery." We have to thank Mrs Brown for her overly generous hospitality. If it wasn't for the accomidations she provided, we would not been able to enjoy the visit in Elmhurst while we waited to pick up our Visa's at the South African Embassy in Chicago.






Everything was going great until Kimberly realized the photos Troy showed her of their new South African home were "slightly" exaggerated!




Finally, after 16 hrs of travel, Brett gives Dad a little break.



Is this guy really my Garandpa.






What's so funny?





Kimberly, Brett and Colton with Grandma Rose, our gracious host in Elmhurst.








Brett on an Elmhurst Fire Department Truck. Just like Grandpa Larry used to ride on.





The Comiskey cousins looking very dapper for their picture. Too bad Shane didn't teach Brett to smile..or maybe he did!











Enjoying a beautiful summer day at the Shedd Aquarium on the lake front in Chcago.








Brett supervising the movers packing the truck in St. Louis.






















It was a sad day when they took the hot tub away. Hopefully the Notar Donato's are taking good care of it!
















Mary Beth, Kimberly and Colton enjoying an awesome day on a pontoon boat at Table Rock Lake











Brett's not sure if he likes Colton and Olivia (Brown) cuddling with him!















Brett got to meet several starting Offensive and Defensive players from the MIZZOU (U of Missouri) football team.















We went to a Change of Command ceremony at Scott AFB in southern Il. I took Brett into the cockpit and the aerial refuelers station of the KC-135 behind us.










Colton sleeping soundly, Grandma Judy has the touch!
