He's home!

We are together again! Jess arrived by commercial airplane yesterday evening. We were given gate passes (available to family members picking up loved ones from deploymnents) so we were able to stand at the very same window and watch Jess's plane arrive just as we had watched it depart. I regret now that the video camera did not have a tape in it, and the camera was almost out of batteries, so I have few pictures for you. But needless to say we have been enjoying ourselves and it almost feels like he never left.


Today we went to Sam's soccer game and-oh my goodness- Sam was great! He went after the ball! We lost count of how many times he kicked it. After some chick-fil-a and some icecream we walked around the block so Sam could show dad how well he rides his bike. Ella is happy to have someone treat her like a princess again, and Si is bubbly. Adeline, well she just stares at him with her big eyes, but she's warming up and giving a few more smiles. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! For your prayers and encouragement and help over these last months. God has been so good to us.

I guess this is an answer to the question "Will I blog after he returns." Yes, but not as frequently.
