Welcome Home Daddy!

Yesterday was the big day!!! After 8 months away Daddy finally came home!
At the airport a wonderful group called "Operation Welcome Home" gathers to greet every soldier coming home with all of these posters and goodie bags, as well as cheers and flags!

Henry definitely thought his sign belonged on the wall! He was pretty impressed with his own art work.

It took a while for everyone to make it through customs so Henry used the time to go on a Daddy hunt!

Lots of cheers for this guy!!

Finally back together!

Henry and Dada went 'runnin runnin!' around the terminal for a few minutes to get Henry to warm up to Dad. But that was all it took! Now it's like they were never apart.

Dada's hat!

As you know, I bought a house while Rob was gone and it was so fun to get to drive him to his new home yesterday! Henry loved getting to show him the steps and the porch.

Rob didn't have a lot of down time between Ollie and Henry. They were both pretty adamant that he was going to do what they wanted!

This morning Henry finally got to see what was in that case he's been playing with for a month! He was pretty amazed by his dad, but hey who isn't!

Right now they are down in the basement throwing a ball and all I here is giggles and claps. We are so thankful to God for His protection over Rob while he was gone and over his trip home! We've missed him so much and are so glad to be home again!!

Outside Fun

I love Maryland weather! It was a beautiful 83* day today and perfect weather for some time outside. Henry LOVES to be outside and to chase Ollie around the yard.

Henry's new snack

Tonight Henry was playing peek-a-boo with Grammy on the web cam.And when he was done I told him I would give him a snack and his milk, which is what happens before bath and bed.
Tonight I gave him a Graham Cracker for a snack, and he looked at me and said "Grammy Cracker? Oh yum, yum!"


Right after this picture Ollie got Henry's snack, which is usually cool with him but tonight he cried and cried "No Ollie! My Grammy Cracker! MY Grammy!" So I had to give him another one. It was too funny!

Smile!

So it hasn't been blog back log. I've been busier than I anticipated! I've had to work really hard to get the house in order super fast, because ..... Rob's coming home early! Nothing with the military is for certain until boots are on the ground, but it's looking good for him to be home on the 25th!
Here are some shots from a few minutes ago. Henry was playing with my phone and I said to stop because 'your hands are disgusting' due to him just eating a bunch of Dibs and he looked at his hands for a half second and then licked them! It was so funny!! He got so tickled that he made me laugh that he was laughing too!

This is one cute silly face!

Blog Crazy!

Henry channeling Bono.

We took Henry's Ms. Kelli shirt off for dinner so he wouldn't ruin it with his pasta.

Even though he demanded a fork, his hand works so much better!

"Oh forget it!"

Weeks without internet makes Kasey crazy!!! Prepare for some serious blog backlog.

We're Back!

We took a break from moving in yesrterday and took Dane to D.C.

We walked around the District for two hours and had a lot of fun!
But then it was back to the grind.

Henry was very busy walking the stairs...

and turning the light on and off in the foyer. He thinks it's very funny!!!

And a VERY special thanks to Patti Weaver for Esther. This move wouldn't have been possible wihtout it! Henry is 'Esser' crazy!! He would watch it from the time he wakes up until the time he goes to bed. He knows all the songs (favorites being Single Ladies and Fabulous!) and sings them all the time. However, we may have reached our breaking point a few nights ago when he woke up bawling at 2 am about 'Jews!' I thought he wanted juice so I went and got it for him, but when I brought it back he took a drink and then kept crying 'Jews! Jews!' for like half an hour. If Summer Spectacular touched no one else, Henry loves it enough for 1,000 kids!

A quick glimpse!

I'm having to give you just a few shots of Henry and the house, because I'm at Panera using their free WiFi and Henry's driving Crazy crazy. But here are a few!Henry helping paint his new room!

Snack time on the stairs.

Henry's stroller is having to double as a high chair until his gets here Tuesday, but he doesn't seem to mind. PS- Em, good thing that blue chair fit in my car, because it's the only real furniture in the house!!

More pictures to come on Thursday when the glory that is internet/cable is installed in my house!!!
