Thank You...

     
I wanted to personally thank each and every one of you for the past 2 and 1/2 months. You guys may not have known but my husband's mini-deployment to Haiti was really hard on me. Being able to login and see your comments made my day. Thank you guys for reading about my boring food and crazy child. Thank you for giving me something to look forward to!

We planned to be at the hangar early so we'd have time to see the husband flying in. We literally walked into the hangar and could see them flying in... See the 6 helos?


It was so neat and exciting!


There he is!

Thankfully he was the pilot in the front helo because I took a ton of pictures of that one!

All of them marching into the hangar.

We are so happy Daddy is home!


The squirrel was definitely a little shy at first. By the time we got to the car though she was saying "Daddy daddy daddy". Then she wouldn't even let me hold her! She only wanted Daddy. I think she surprised us both. I thought it would take a day or so for her to warm up to him. Not at all!

When we got home he showered and we headed down to Kornerstone Bistro... Where I got spoiled AGAIN and had my sweet potato ravioli! Happy birthday to meeeee :)

We really are happy to have him home. It's been a long 2 1/2 months. Honestly, we both said it feels like he never left. He just fit right back in. Which is nice. In the past it's taken some time to adjust back to normal. Maybe we're getting used to this?

I will definitely pick back up with regular blogging here soon. The husband got some incredible pictures of Haiti while he was there and I want to share them with you... I just need to see which ones I'm allowed to post online. So those will be coming soon!

I'll leave you guys with some cute pictures of this morning. The husband had to go into work for an hour or so but he will be off the next 2 weeks so I'm not complaining. Him and the squirrel playing with bubbles...

 

           

Pin It!

I'm so glad to see you together. I cry at the airport when I see men in uniform returning to their families. Take a hiatus from blogging if it means more time together!

Oh Kristen I'm so happy for you that your hubby is back. You really do have a beautiful family! That was so cool that you guys got to see him flying in. It's totally understandable if you stay away from blogging for a while. You should definitely take total advantage of the precious family time you guys have together. Wishing you and your family a Happy Easter!
