After 4 long months, the government has finally returned Shaun back home to his anxiously awaiting family! It was a wonderful reunion and he was very happy to finally meet his baby girl!
All the families gathered in an auditorium located across from his squadron on Tinker AFB. Once the plane arrived, the families could get on a bus and meet the returning members on the airstrip. Since it was 30 degrees outside, I decided that we would wait and greet Shaun in the auditorium. But, what Shaun didn't know was that his parents had driven up for his homecoming as well. So, they went out to the airstrip to be his surprise greeting! :) When he finally made it to the auditorium, he ran over to meet his two girls! Evelyn did cry a bit, but daddy's jacket was very cold from being outside, plus it was loud and she was hungry. After she was fed and things settled down a bit, she was happy to be held by her proud daddy!
It has been nice to have Shaun back home! He is learning how to change diapers and had been able to give Evelyn a bottle too. I am learning how to let him take care of things again, so it's been an adjustment for us all! We are so happy to be a whole family!
