Daddy's Home!

We got to pick up Daddy from the air terminal today. Yeah! Chloe has been bouncing off the walls with excitement. She has really missed Daddy over the past month. Aidan was completely oblivious but since sister's excitement was so contagious, he joined in the squealing. He was walking all over the air terminal. He loved the fact that there were floor to ceiling windows that he could look out of and pound on. We had to wait quite a while for Daddy to land, since the second flight landed first (only in the Navy). Chloe was very upset that Daddy was not on the first plane. She was ready to leave without him she was so mad.

Daddy's plane soon landed and she was busy looking for the shiny bald head. She went flying into his arms and couldn't stop talking. Aidan walked right up to him without any help at all, a bit of a surpise for Dad who didn't know Aidan was a full blown walker yet. Aidan wasn't too sure who dad was at first, but once he heard his voice Aidan could hardly contain himself. Both kids are thrilled Dad is home. They were both vying for his attention.

We are so glad that Daddy is back with us! Mommy especially! :-) It will be nice to have him home with us for a while. This is our last trip with this command. In two and a half weeks Matt begins the process of transferring to a new command. Don't worry, we aren't moving. It took a lot of prayer and trust but we did find orders here. It means more sea duty but we are getting the routine down.
