PAUL COMES HOME

Tonight we patiently waited for daddy to come home from his 4th deployment! The plane was a little delayed so Cooper got a little stir-crazy waiting and waiting and waiting. An hour later, they let us go out to the flight line and watch as the plane landed. As you can see Coop was watching in awwwww! When we arrived it was daylight and now the sun had gone down, the temperature had dropped and the rain started to drizzle. The ideal situatiuon for when you want to look somewhat decent for your husband, whom you haven't seen in 3 months... NOT! So much for doing your hair and putting on make-up! HAHA! I think I cared more than Paul! Although, nothing can really help minimize the size of the prego belly!

Coop watching as the plane lands!
With the welcom home sign in tote, we were ready for Dada to get off the plane. (There is that pretty hair I was talking about ... gotta love the rainy/cold season in Cali)

As soon as Cooper started to see the guys come off the plane, he was jumping up & down & screaming, "DADA DADA DADA DADA." Let's just say he wasn't shy about his excitement!

Just as Paul stepped off the plane and shook hands with the Commanders, he ran over to Coop, who was shocked to see that Dada was finally home! No more talking on the phone and pictures... he was real again! I have to admit, I did get a little choked up ... tears of joy of course!

Finally whole again!

Heading home! Nothing could separate these 2!
