Playing catch up..

Since this blog serves as my scrapbook  that my family and I peruse now and then to take a look back into the past (rather pitiful, no?),  I'm rolling the clock back to April 2011 when dh returned home after a year away from us.  This is a post I'd written shortly after his return that never got published because it didn't feel 'finished'. Well my friends, I'm throwing caution to the wind and getting it out there anyway.  Yessir, that's me, livin' on the wild side.  

==================

HOMECOMING!!!!  That word is forever altered in my book.  Whenever I hear 'homecoming', it will now conjure up more than just memories of a long ago fall night of high school football.   Now it  evokes feelings of togetherness, and circles made whole again.  Here are a few shots from dh’s homecoming.

House decked out, all ready to welcome him home..

Patiently waiting.. waiting... waiting...

Two told everyone he’d be the first to hug the Daddio-- and he was.  

Six held onto his daddy's uniform blouse (yes, they call them 'blouses'.. hehe..) for the whole walk out of the terminal.

Yes, we were all VERY happy to have our Daddy home after a long year..

And even though he’d spent more time away from the baby than he’d spent with her, she was quick to bond with her papa.

Once home, we were able to reconnect as a family and just enjoy being around each other again.

Life is good!
