At Last... My love has come along!

He's HOME!!

What a crazy, crazy weekend! He's not coming, he is coming. He's coming sooner, he's coming later. He's coming sooner again.

The last we heard, he would be arriving Saturday night/Sunday morning around 1:30am. After Casey's bball game, I put the kids in bed Saturday night in their warmest PJs at 10pm. I woke them back up at midnight, bundled them up and headed out to meet Nonie and Pap and make our way to the base. As soon as we walked in the door, we were told that Nathan and everyone else were still in MD and probably wouldn't be arriving until 4am. We were hoping the kids would go back to sleep.
No such luck.

We were left to entertain three VERY tired kiddos in a room with nothing but spinning chairs, Simple Life magazines, and a bucket of candy.

FOUR HOURS later, we got word that they were almost here. We were all exhausted, it was freeeezing outside, the kids were getting whiney (can't blame them, it was 5:30 in the morning!)... but the second that plane touched down, NONE of that mattered.

Right before we got the text that they were landing...

Layla held this sign up for about 15 mins before Nathan ever got off the plane. Sweet girl =)








It's just been THE most amazing few days having him home with us! We have finally caught up on sleep I think. The kids are still completely in his face every minute of the day; won't even let the poor guy take a breath! He had to go to the base this morning to do his out-processing paperwork and they FREAKED OUT. They want to tell him EVERY.SINGLE.THING they did and saw for the last 7 months. We are soaking up every meal, nap, and tv show we get to share together and are going to be COMPLETELY spoiled getting to have him home with us before he goes back to work in a month!! IT'S FANTASTIC!!!!
