Home again

I'm home from another deployment.  The boys were very good for Mama this time.  That is a nice change as they were not good the last one. 

Tracy and both boys met me at the airport.  When they saw me, through the crowd, they came running up, "Daddy, Daddy!".  It was just as good as the day dreams.  I kneeled down and they both hit me at full speed.  Rhys was whispering "My Daddy, my Daddy, my Daddy".  over and over as he hugged me. 

As we waited for my bags I told them that I had a present for them.  Toy Story 2 had come out on Blue Ray the day before.  It is their current favorite, so I bought it before I left Hawaii.  When Owyn heard that he had a present he said "I want present.  Cake.  Pizza.  I want present".  Apparently presents means a party.  Parties have cake and pizza.  I mean, jeeze, who doesn't know that.  Owyn knows it.

Rhys has been glued to me all week.  He is very concerned that I am going to go "bye bye work" again.  I am, but not for a few months. 

The only good thing about these deployments is that they make us all aware of how much we love each other.  We are reminded not to take each other for granted.

It is GOOD to be home.
