Moved....

well, I've moved over to Mommy's Musings . It seems that some of cyber friends can no longer post comments over here so, I've picked up moved. Come visit me over there!

Well, I've had a couple of people tell me they haven't been able to post comments here. I don't know what is going on here! I'm sorry about that. All I know to say is just keep trying, please!!! Maybe eventually it will let you.

I just sent DH off to work after fixing his coffee and some toast. It seems we have stepped right back in where we left off and not much has changed. Well, it has but I guess what I mean is nothing is really very different. It feels so normal. I'm so glad though.

Of course when DH left we weren't homeschooling then so that is different. DS's first day of homeschooling was the day DH left so he's not experienced it at all. The kids are a little too excited to get much done but they will settle down soon. Today will be the first day since he's been home that I am really expecting much out of them and what I have planned is pretty normal for them but not too much. (I hope anyway!)

Well, I guess I could take this time without the kids to get some stuff done other than the computer. Have a great day, dear cyber friends and keep trying to post. Hopefully it will work...eventually.

Good Morning, dear cyber friends!!! Well, dh is home and I am so very glad to have him home safe and sound. He is back at work this morning and I thought I'd just post a quick note here.

He got home late Saturday night. It was a really nice welcome home. His last one they just walked off the bus and into our arms and then straight to the car to go to the motor pool to pick up his bags and such. The end.

This time is was awesome!! We were outside when the plane landed screaming and waving. There were posters and banners and flags. It was great. DH came off the plane waving and the crowd started screaming even more. Then he saw us just kept waving and the kids were screaming, "There he is!! There he is! That's Daddy!!"

Then we all went back inside as they formed up. Then the band started playing and they opened the hanger doors and in they marched. The hanger was filled with screaming family members, more waving, more banners, more flags. I know that it really meant a lot to all of our soldiers. There was lots of sitting around and waiting before he arrived and lots more after but it was all worth it.

The kids are so very excited and so is mom of course. It's been a quiet reunion. We've been taking it slow and are just enjoying sitting together. DH has spent a lot time on the phone calling family members to let them know he is home and everyone is greatly relieved. We've been window shopping a bit but mostly we have just been being together.

It is wonderful to have him home. He's so glad to be back too. When he was on leave it was a little overwhelming to him and think that's why we are moving so slowly now. But you know it's been so nice. We are truly enjoying it.

Well, I guess that's it for now. Thanks to all who have been praying for us. Don't ever stop praying for all of our troops. They need them all, they all need them, where ever they are, Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, Germany, Italy, here at home, where ever, they need prayers always. Don't forget them and don't forget their families.

(Also, just on a sad note, The Crocodile Hunter has died. He's touched many lives and will be greatly missed. Prayers to his family.)
