I'm SO Glad When Daddy Comes HOME!!!!

Clay is home! The last day I think was almost as hard as the first! I scrubbed 6 murals off the walls that day. The kids were all so excited (me too!!) that we were having a hard time channeling that energy. :)
We made a sign to hang up on the front of the house. Amanda decided to copy it and write it in sidewalk chalk on the driveway. Too cute!
Amanda Daddy Welcome HOME

We had an early dinner and then headed to the airport to wait. This was so hard! I'm glad we didn't get there any earlier. Amanda kept looking down the hallway to see if daddy was coming yet.

The kids all made signs to hold to welcome Daddy home.
Daniel & Jonathan with the signs they made.
Samantha was pretty interested in what we were doing. She's teething right now so she's constantly got her fingers in her mouth.
Jonathan gave up with standing and had to sit for a bit.
Then he finally walked out and the kids all ran!
My two guys in uniform. Don't they look great!
Jonathan showing Daddy the sign he helped make. Amanda was attached to Daddy for quite a while.
I'm SO glad when Daddy comes home!
Glad as I can be!!!!!!

We're so happy to be adjusting back to family life with all of us again. Things have been fun to see how much we all have changed.

At bedtime prayers recently, Jonathan said, "And please help Daddy stay home." They're so honest, I love it!

We're still figuring out details with our new life, I'll have to post more on that later.

Those pictures of Clay reuniting with the children were heartbreaking/warming. I, like everyone else cried. I'm so happy for your family!
