- This picture of our kitchen table was probably taken the night before Easter Sunday, after my wife had decorated it and prepared the table for breakfast on Easter morning.
-
- This is a picture of the top of our tiled wood stove in Monzelfeld that was right beside the kitchen table – and it was the best feature of the house because in winter it kept everything – and everyone – toasty warm.

- David spent the morning hunting for Easter eggs and whatever else the Easter Bunny had left for him in the yard from the night before.
-
- David shows off a colored egg that he discovered in the garden by the back patio, and we were all happy that the weather had cooperated beautifully on this Easter Sunday morning.
-
- Excited after discovering a Lego puzzle with a giant yellow bow on it in the back yard, David returns to show off his prize – and can’t wait to start building it.
-
- David holds a bunny shaped Easter basket to collect what he found in the garden on his Easter egg hunt, and the Easter bunny seems to have also left a gift bag behind for him.
-
- Once it was time to get ready to go to church, David wasn’t happy about having to leave the house – he’d rather have stayed and put his new Lego puzzle together and eaten some Easter candy instead of posing for a picture with me.
-
- It was now after had I returned from being deployed in the Gulf War, and with my return David had to get used to having me back again; and in the process, he was growing up and becoming a young man – and we were now getting ready to move the family again – and I would soon be leaving for 3 to 4 months to Cannon AFB, NM to learn to fly the F-111G.
-
- I’ve always called this transition from early childhood into becoming a young man the process of “growing antlers” – and a young man starts very early on to think about setting his own path, course and direction in life – and another international move coming up wasn’t helping the situation of growing up very much for David.
