Yeah!! we're so excited that James is home! You're probably wondering why I'm on the computer now- well, I did not do a great job of starting the truck so James is out working on that now but that does give me the chance to tell about our great day! This morning was a normal Monday morning for us (speech) except K was very sad that I told him Daddy was coming after naps. So he was ecstatic around 2:30 today when we got the phone call that James would be in at 3:30 and we needed to leave then. We got to Green Ramp and the boys were very excited about all the cool red, white, and blue stuff- hats, flags, pinwheels, paratroopers, toy airplanes, stickers. Most of my pics of the boys with all the fun stuff turned out blurry bc they were waving them so wildly- but here's K in the hat he kept on until bedtime.
We just had a short wait before we went out by the flightline where we saw James' airplane taxi in. 
The boys' excitement was growing (well T wasn't quite sure what was going on but he did know he wanted to go under the white tape and head out on the flightline.) When they opened the door to the airplane, two boys were jumping up and down and then they could see James walking in the formation towards us- so excited! 
After a short ceremony, we got to spend about 20 min with James and then he went to turn in his weapon (the boys did wonder why he couldn't take it home.) We picked James up and went to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner. I think T ate half my crab. K & C ate their popcorn shrimp but I think were saving room for dessert- how fun to paint a rice krispie crab with chocolate and strawberry sauce. 
James was amazed at how much the boys have changed- the conversations between K & C in the car, T acting like a little boy instead of a baby, C losing his toddler belly, ...

It's so much easier to eat out with two parents!! We were all excited for James to read the boys night-night story. We're so thankful he's home- and right in time for Kayleigh's birth!
