Finally

Together Again. Families aren't meant to be separated for so long, but the joy of reuniting is unexplainable. The boys were over the moon to see their Dad. Brad won't let Keith out of his sight and Cole is trying to play catch up. "Dad, do you want to play outside with me?" "Dad, can we play sock war?" "Dad, want to play soccer?" "Dad, want to ride 4-wheelers?"

We got to see Keith fly over the base and then land. As he flew over I told Brad that Daddy was in that plane and he started to cry. Oh - break my heart. Cole was waving his flag and holding the sign he painted. So precious.

Keith has been back 48 hours and is in full Dad-mode. I feel a little bad, but my favorite quote from him today was "I feel so scatterbrained, it's like I take one step forward and 10 back" Bless his heart. I say the same thing daily. Ah, it's so good to have him home to share the load.
