Daddy's home!

Kendahl came home last Saturday from a 6.5 week trip to Dover AFB in Delaware. We missed him a ton and were excited as the time neared for him to return home! At the last minute, he decided to change his plane ticket to come home a day early. We decided NOT to tell the kids - and to let it be a surprise! So I got a babysitter and went and picked him up. When we got home, he went into the backyard so that he could come in the back door and surprise them!

He literally shocked them - almost speechless! Konnor even jumped. Kaylee said her first thought was "Is that really my Dad because he isn't supposed to be here until tomorrow!" Hence you will see them stare at him for a few seconds before it really sinks in!

It is so great having him home with us again. It is awesome to finally be together as a family again!



Daddy and the kids a few minutes after he got home.

Kendahl was worried that Kamryn might not remember him. As you can see, he had nothing to worry about. :)

Kaylee's poster. I had no idea that she could draw letters like this!

Konnor's poster for Daddy. You can see that he drew himself holding Daddy's hand.

Kenna's poster. The big thing in the middle is "a big banana." She also drew Mommy and Daddy off to the left side holding hands. :)

Awwww! That video was so sweet, it made me tear up! The song "I'm so glad when daddy comes home, glad as I can be!" kept running through my head. Love all of their cute little drawings, too. Your family is so great!
