More Homecoming Pictures

Warning - lots of pictures! Wanted to capture everything about our day yesterday. Chase didn't like the flightsuit when I first put it on. I had to give him some candy to distract him from trying to take it off. Here he is ready to go to base. Picture with my friend, Katie. Her husband was also delayed with Brad so we kept each other sane. Hence the seal trip the other weekend! By the way we did not coordinate colors!

All of us waiting for our men, and Chase who was starting to get a little fussy. The arrival time was right during his nap.



Chase excited to see the guplay (how he says airplane).
Waiting for Daddy's airplane to land. The clouds were too low for them to do an overhead pattern.
There he is!!!
Telling Chase he is going to see Daddy. Didn't tell him much beforehand because I don't think he got it. Even today he picked up the phone and asked for daddy.

The canopy was up and we could go see him! It was very windy.
Daddy waving.
A sight for sore eyes.
Waiting patiently the last few seconds.

My love!
He gave daddy a hug...
then wanted to come back to mommy.
One of our elders, Gordon, and our new pastor and his wife came out. The church was so supportive during the whole deployment and especially the last two weeks.

Chase was so excited to see so many airplanes!
Checking out daddy's airplane.
A.B. and Blaser




With our friends the Walkers.
Walking back to the building.
Chase wanted to touch every jet.

With our friend Amy. Thank so you much for being there with me and taking pictures for us!
At home! Chase was exhausted by this point, can you tell by his face. Oh well, we were okay with him wanting to take a nap right away :)

Don't think you were much danger of having too many pictures. Thanks for sharing the moment. It's so good to see Brad back.
