He's home. He's home. He's finally home.
Rhett was deployed for 205 of the longest days of my life. That's not counting the training to the states right before he left. So it was closer to 7 1/2 months.We are so excited to have him back.
The little boys have been stuck on him like glue since he got back. The twins especially don't want him out of their sight. It is actually quite adorable to watch. They get a little worried when he has to go into work, but he always comes home.
Rhett is dealing with them very well and is excited to be near them. I see him get a little overwhelmed sometimes and I try to intervene, but so far he is dealing with them great.
I am SO excited because he just got all his in processing done so now he gets 2 weeks off to spend time with family. It is so nice to have him back. He is having a hard time adjusting to the time difference, but I'm sure he will get it soon. :) Love you Rhett!
Here are some pictures from the airport.
We got there about 45 minutes before his flight because when we picked him up from the training we were running late. Not only were we late, but both babies had accidents on the way to the airport. He called and asked where I was and I told him we were out in the car and to meet us out there. lol. This time we came more prepared. We even made shirts and got an awesome sign. :)
He is coming. Comesario is right next to him. They did the deployment together. The kids couldn't wait to run to him. Rhett that is. lol He ended up getting mobbed and blocking traffic.
I couldn't wait to be in his arms again. It felt so good to be back as a family. Very long overdue!
The babies seriously follow him everywhere he goes. lol. They even follow him into the bathroom. They just want to be right next to him all the time.
Carter has also had so much fun showing him EVERYTHING. They had a paper airplane contest last night while I made dinner and are just having a blast together.
Taylor loves to snuggle him and comes up randomly and kisses his legs.
I had the BEST nights sleep last night and didn't toss and turn at all. It is nice to have my snuggle buddy back. Unfortunately, he is not used to the time difference at all and has had a hard time sleeping. Hopefully, he will get back to normal soon.
We are still enjoying just being in each others company and look forward to 2 weeks of family play time. Hopefully he won't get too overwhelmed by all the attention. The kids can be quite intense.
A group from the dental clinic also came to welcome them home. I was so happy because one of them offered to take some pictures for me. :) Thank you Dr. Lee.
This is pretty much what it is like now. Stuck like glue. The big boys can't get enough of him either, but they still have to go to school so they only get to play when they get home. Welcome Home Rhett!!
