Eric (and Chris) made it home on Thursday after their 2-month deployment. In typical military fashion, they were supposed to come in at 5:50, then it was 12:50, then it was 3:30, then 3:15...they finally made it in around 4-4:15. But the bottom line is that they made it home safely :) We hung out in one of the hangars...it was pretty hot out, but there was a great breeze. The girls did surprisingly well considering we were there a couple hours. They passed the wait time by chasing each other around the hangar, then they chased each other around me, then they chose some random woman and started running circles around her! As it got closer, we propped them up on the barricades so they'd have a front row view of the plane coming in, and their daddies walking up. They were really excited when they saw the plane, and we had them waving at it, saying "hi!". The local news photographer took our picture. (you can check it out at http://nwfdailynews.emeraldcoastphotoswest.com/mycapture/enlarge.asp?image=23504341&event=748678&CategoryID=28208&picnum=6&move=F#Image )...we're pictures 13-15. It's so great having Eric back..Leah's been saying "Daddy, Daddy" pretty much non-stop :)
waving at the plane...
they were the only ones to break out of the "receiving line" and see their family first...
