Homecoming

For Mother's Day, one of my girls answered the question, "My mom is happiest when...?" with "When Dad is home."  It's true.  I just really like him.  Lucky for them, Mommy got really happy on Monday.  4 1/2 months later, Ed is home.

 

I told all the girls he would be home Monday, but I led the older girls to believe we'd pick him up after they got home from school.  I'm mean, but I really wanted them to go to school...and I kind of wanted to surprise them.  So Kassie was my lone companion (along with a million other families) on the flight line.

 

Blowing bubbles while we wait.

He landed!

Ed was one of the first people off, and as such I didn't even have time to get a picture of him coming down the stairs.  Not complaining, earlier reunion is fine with me!

Happy, happy, happy.

Later we picked the girls up from school.  When the middle school realized what we were trying to do they sent a whole entourage to watch the reunion.  So I'm not sure who is laughing in the background. 

Keira and Krista's school is across town, so we barely caught them before they got on the bus.  Oh well, we're together again.  It doesn't get much better than that.

  

Lots and lots of happy.
