From across the desert into our arms....

So here are the picuters I promised! I did get a few pretty good ones! The girls were so excited to see Chris and Chris was so excited to see the girls... I think he was kind of exctied to see me too... :) So here are the pictures of our reunion!

Chloe and Ireland waiting for Daddy to come... they were a little excited to say the least!

First kisses from Daddy! And they haven't stopped coming!

Daddy brought the girls some cute bears from Camp Bucca... they both loved them and Chloe is pretty attatched to hers!

So, those are the pcitures we have so far... I hope you all liked them and I am sure there will be more to come as the days go by!

Love you all! :)

He's home!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, Chris came home today for his R&R! He got to DIA at 11:30am. The girls and I went to the airport to pick him up. I had the girls make some signs that said "Welcome Home Daddy" on them and they were so proud of them! Ireland was so excited to see Chris... she was just giddy all morning. Chloe wasn't too sure what was going on until she saw him for the first time... and she hasn't left his side yet! Chloe just keeps looking at Chris and saying "Daddy" and then touching his face or rubbing his arm... it is pretty dang cute. I don't think she knows what to do with herself! :)
So, he is here for 18 days and we are going to enjoy every minute of it! I am so excited for the next 2 weeks!
I will try and get some pictures up tonight of the big event of picking him up... I didn't get loads of pictures since I was the only adult there and I had to hug and kiss my husband AND try to get good pictures. But I know I got a few goods one... so look for them later today or tomorrow!
Thanks for all your prayers over the last few months! We all appreciated them more than words can say! We love all our blog readers very much! God bless! :)

Happy Valentines Day!

Here are some pictures of the girls from Valentines Day... I have been trying for a few hours (no joke) to get more pictures on here but its not working for me... The computer hates me today (and last night) apparently. So you will just have to savor the 2 pictures I could get on here! Hope you enjoy! :)

From the mouth of Ireland...

Just a warning... this blog will come with no pictures... because I haven't taken a single one since the tea party day... we have been up to our eyeballs with nonsense from on post housing... that is a whole other story for a whole other day... anyways...
I just had to tell you all a quick story about Ireland and a very funny thing she said yesterday...
We were at the mall (which we go to often... fun play area, yummy food, and the Disney store) yesterday and had to make our manditory stop at the Disney Store. My mom has brainwashed the girls into thinking that the Disney Store is THE reason we come to the mall... anyways, we are at the Disney Store and there is a screen at the back of the store that shows little movies and what have yous... this day it was showing little clips from Disney movies that were songs... We were watching a clip from Cinderella and noticed the coloring was kind of off... My mom, Maren, and I were all talking about how funny it looked... the birds were green and not blue and Cinderella's hair was kind of reddish pink looking. Ireland, being a Cinderella expert and all, noticed that it looked a little off as well... she turned around to tell us that Cinderella's hair was wrong and then she said something that made me one proud mom... (she is learing the important stuff fast)... she said, "Hey Mommy, Cinderella's hair is pink. Thats funny.... maybe she colored it!"

We laughed pretty hard... Maren said only my 4 year old would know about coloring your hair... too funny!
So, thats all! I will try to get pictures soon!
