Our Hero Has Arrived!!!

At about 2am ish November 14, we welcomed Jesse and his unit back home!


While the kids each had a sign to welcome him I decorated the house as well (and the truck windows which I do not have a picture of at this point).


Me signing the big welcome home sign for the unit. My friend Lauren came along with me and took pictures. Yup had my own personal photographer. Isn't she awesome?!


Amanda and I eagerly awaiting our husbands to land.


The kids ready to welcome daddy home (yup at 1am)!


The unit unloading from the plane.


The unit marching in off the plane.


We had to wait for about another hour or so while they checked in their weapons and such. When it was time for them to enter, the smoke rolled.


Once they were dismissed, we tracked him down and had big welcome home hugs and kisses for Jesse.


After, we went outside to get all his bags. This was taken before we went to get his duffel bag (yes one more to add). Once we got over to the duffel bags, there were guys there to help locate them. When they located Jesse's bag, Jesse went to grab it and wouldn't you know, they carried it, along with the ones he was already carrying out for us. So since Jesse no longer had bags to carry, he carried his boys instead:)


Welcome home Hero!!!!!
