A Family of Four






A friend called me this weekend to tell me that her husband's plane was supposedly coming in that evening. We thought maybe Tim was on it too. Since we were in town around that time, I went ahead and met my friend at the guys' work to wait for the buses to come in, just in case. And sure enough...Tim was on that plane! Nevermind that I had a wet head from the shower I just took and sweats on. NOT the usual look for picking up your husband from war whom you haven't seen in months! Oh well; it was better than a burka. The boys were elated. Caleb ran to him laughing, screaming, "Daddy! Daddy!" Judah took a little while to re-warm up to him, but all is well now. Tim is home for several months at least, we hope, and life is sooooooooo good! Thanks for all of your prayers during this deployment. Blessings,

P.S. Judah gave himself a very handsome haircut the other day. ;) So no, I didn't do that, and he isn't pulling his hair out in chunks. Evidently, giving oneself a haircut is fairly common for toddlers!

Chloe gave herself a haircut too about 3 weeks ago - Luckily, I caught her after a couple of snips!!! Welcome home Tim! Love, Melanie

Tiffany,
Beautiful entry!! Thank you for sharing and please give Tim a big "thank you" hug from my family for his service to our country. I have the utmost respect for him and his fellow soldiers (and for you moms who hold down the fort in their absence).
Blessings,
Nikki

Your photos say it all....coming home! There is no other theme that is so universally understood by all. God bless,

Enjoy. Everyone looks so happy and who cares what you wear. It is what is inside that counts. So far Mario has kept away from the scissors and his hair but I am sure it will happen one day. The beauty of hair is that it grows back so no harm done.
