Eric arrived home safely this afternoon from his second deployment in the last 4 years. No more deployments for at least 3...WOO HOO!!!
Here's our sign welcoming Daddy home
Connor being goofy
Brandon...finally not crying. Poor baby cried all morning until I gave him his pacie...serious teething issues right now.
Here's a picture of the waiting area...lots of people
We walked to the next "hanger" and let the kids get out and play. Fortunately, it wasn't a super hot day!
Here's a picture of the plane coming in. We aren't allowed to take pictures of the plane once it lands or the soldiers in formation until they start marching into the waiting area...so no more pictures of that!
The boys passed out waiting for Daddy. We left the house at 930 and we didn't see Eric until 230, and then didn't get back to the house until 530...long day!
Here's a video of the troops marching in. Eric is in the very front, but it's hard to pick him out. I thought it was cool that they had a live band playing!
Here's all of us
Eric and his boys. They played with him tonight like they are best buds! It was nice to clean up dinner without having to stop every minute to see what the boys are getting into.
That's it...I'm exhausted from the day. Don't be surprised if we don't answer our phones or make any posts for a while. Lots of catching up to do! Thanks to everyone who supported us!

YEAH!!!! We are so happy for the four of you.
Thank you Eric for your service and thank you Kate and the boys for keeping up his spirits and supporting on the homefront. Neither one is an easy job.
