It's finally over!! Well, this part at least!! Levi has been traveling since the beginning of February- he's been gone 19 out of 24 weeks- and he's finally home!!! For now anyway!! We will be able to enjoy the next 4 months as a family, until he leaves for long deployment in November!!! We got the call that Daddy was home in the middle of our weekly commissary trip on Tuesday. We quickly finished our shopping, and drove to base to pick Daddy up! We had to wait outside the squadron for about 10 minutes, and while we waited Grant was sitting in his carseat about ready to jump out of his skin, he was so excited! We watched people walk in and out of the building, and each person we saw, I could see Grant's smile grow so big, until he realized it wasn't Daddy. The smile would fade until the next person came out, and the process kept repeating. Then finally, Daddy walked out (mustache free, I might add!) and Grant was kicking his feet and waving his hands and squealing with delight- he was sooo happy!!!
When we got home, we unloaded Daddy's stuff from the car. Grant has been wanting to help with little tasks, so Daddy tasked him with carrying his water bottle and cover (his hat). Grant wore his cover for a good 5 minutes straight! Even though he doesn't normally wear hats, I think he was just so excited that Daddy was the one who gave it to him, he didn't want to take it off!!
We are very excited to finally be a family again!! We haven't planned any house projects, date nights, outings, or anything since February!!!
LET NORMALCY BEGIN!!!

Oh, I'm so happy for you! Hey, our hubbies will deploy at the same time! We should really try and work on getting together at least once!
Yes, we should definitely do that!! I'm hoping to go to Kansas for a lot of the time Levi is gone, but since we will still have our house, I'll have to be here for a while! A get-together will be a MUST!!
