McGaughey Update

Amy's
new pet,
Dolce

Dear everyone:

Just a quick note to let you all know that Neal is doing well. He made Sergeant on Monday and will be pinned on July 1st -- he is very excited about this and has advanced quickly in his career. Also on Monday, he and Amy found out that they will have a baby boy! They both really want a son so they can't wait to see this little boy come into the world. God has been good to them for sure.

We are doing fine here in Florida. We actually do get to fish, bike, kayak and enjoy the ocean...what a waste it would be to live here and never enjoy God's handiwork. The ministry is growing and we love it. Kevin does a good job with teaching and he and Mark make a good team. It actually seems like we have lived here longer than 3 months (as of July 4th). We know God has "grafted" us into this church family very quickly and we have grown close to many of them...seems they have been friends for years. We still miss all of you in KC and long to see you face to face. I will be in KC July 11-21 and will be staying with Rhonda for a few days and the rest of the time with my kids, Ryan and Megan...can't wait to see those cute grandkids :)

Below, is a link and a note from Neal and if you go through all the pictures you will see Neal towards the end. Let us hear from you and how you are doing.

Love from sunny Florida,

Cathy

From Neal:

Here is a link to a website that has photos from Tyler Hicks (New York Times); he was attached to my team and Alpha Company for about two weeks. There are tons of photos from Alpha Company's invasion into Garmser and our firefights. I made one of the photos, second to last one on the page.
