Here You Go...

I know everyone is waiting for a blog! So I will finally write it! It will probably be more pictures than writing. I'm sure you won't mind!

So, Jason's homecoming was on Wednesday as you all know by now. It was supposed to be early in the morning, but because of the volcano in Iceland, they were diverted away from Ireland and ended up with a layover in Canada. Then when they left Bangor, Maine...they had to fly way south because of all the tornadoes. All of that ended up being a blessing after Layla was so sick on Tuesday. She was so sick. And she was so confused as to why she kept throwing up. But thank goodness she was perfect for the homecoming.

We got to base about 3 hours before Jason got there. It was actually good to have to wait up there. If I was home, I would have gone insane. Instead, I had good friends and fun talk to pass the time!

Waiting...

More waiting...but almost time!

Their packs arrived while they were still at the armory turning in their weapons. The girls went to look through them to try and find Jason's.

The bus pulling in.

Jason is in the front seat...but of course, he was the last one off the bus!

I think their faces say it all...they were so excited to see the bus!

I can't get over this one of Ava!

Layla got to Daddy first!

Once they hugged him, they never let go.

Helping Daddy find his bags.

Found one.

Too Heavy.

I don't think the girls ever stopped smiling.

Typical. Right back to their normal selves.

Again, typical. Right after Jason licked Ava's face.

It was a perfect night!

And today...Ava graduated Kindergarten!

Walking to school with Daddy!

She spotted us!

Getting her little "diploma".

And now, trying to figure it out.

Miss Priss.

Pushing Layla...

while chatting with her friends.

Ava and her wonderful teacher.

She's a FIRST GRADER now!

And, she won't be going to school in California anymore. Jason got his orders to North Carolina. We leave in August. I have already been contacted by the EFMP coordinator there...that's how official it is. (The exceptional family member program). They are there to help us with getting Layla situated with new Drs...therapists, etc. So...North Carolina...here we come...2 months!

And finally, want to know what Jason is doing while I write this...remember the tv console for the mancave that I couldn't put together because a piece was broken and on backorder...well, that piece came yesterday! ha ha. So...I didn't have to put it together!

Jason and Cali got to!
