Easter 2011

Boy Scout Historic Trails Service Project

We spent three days on the El Camino Real historic trail during spring break. The scouts rebuilt part of the trail as part of a historic trails service project. Since we would be out in the desert for three days, I told David I did not want to sleep in a tent. We rented a camper from outdoor recreation which meant I was a Happy Camper!!! We had a great time.

David's Promotion to Lt Col

We celebrated David's promotion to Lt Col on Tuesday. The day began with almost blizzard-like conditions. Even though the base was officially closed at Noon, David's ceremony happened at 2pm. There is always something exciting when a Mansberger has an event!

Jacob gave the invocation and Jonathan read Scripture. David's dad and brother pinned on his new rank on his shirt. Jonathan, Jacob and Angel took care of his jacket. It was a day to celebrate David's accomplishments. With Mom heavy on Angel's heart, she declared the day a "No Cry Day."

My Mom

I was able to spend a few days with my mom before her health declined. These are some joys photos during the visit. My Aunt Lynn, Brother Bill and Niece Katharine are beautiful people in my life.

Branoff Family Christmas 2010

Mansberger Family Christmas in Georgia

We enjoyed an early Christmas at Dad Mansberger's home in Athens, Georgia.

Jacob Turns 13

We celebrated Jacob's 13th birthday during a visit to the Mansberger family in Athens, Georgia. Jacob experienced his Faith Walk with Dad, Uncle, Brother and Grandpa. He received his purity ring and book of letters from important men in his life. It was a great day to celebrate a great young man.
