Like my hat??



You're not going anywhere without me!

Glad you're home, Dad!

Waiting for TJ's arrival with my Dad

August 7, 2010

I wanted to put in pictures of TJ's homecoming from his 2-month RIMPAC exercise. We were all VERY glad to see his plane fly in and know the wait was finally over. My dad had never seen a fly-in, so that was fun for him. They didn't do any formations when they flew by, but he still got to see a lot of Superhornets land and see lots of happy families greeting their spouses.

On the way home, our car was full of "daddy this and daddy that" -- my dad & I didn't get to talk to TJ very much that first afternoon. The kids were thrilled to see him & so was I!! We just relaxed and had a nice weekend. He had a birthday the next day, so we helped celebrate turning 42 for him!! The kids had made special b-day cards and 'miss you' cards while in KC, so he got to open A LOT of cards.
