See this big smile on Jasmine's face? Can you guess why she is smiling so big?

You guessed it - Daddy's home for his mid tour leave.

Jasmine is NOT excited - we just didn't think she was ever going to let go of him. Was very surprised when she agreed to go to school the next day after he got home. But then she got to show him off to her teacher, the school secretary and anyone else who would listen.

And as you can see Brian is smiling pretty big too.

Daddy is being good with the kids - here he is playing play-doh with them.

I have more I guess I haven't added them to shutterfly yet. Will try to get that done tonight and show them at the park.

He goes back to Iraq on May 10th. There's going to be a lot of unhappy people around our house that day!

Welcome Home!!!!!!!

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Someone loves her Daddy!!

[4 Dog Mother]

Dominic was only 15 months old when he left for Iraq so he isn't quite so sure of him yet. And he was only 8 months old when Brian moved to New York. He will stay with him for awhile but then he is ready to go back to someone more familiar.

I've got tears in my eyes... happy tears, of corse. How wonderful that he's home with his family. It's so sad that he has leave again so soon. I know everyone will enjoy every minute they have together.

What a nice thread. It is so nice to see Brian home and enjoying his family. It's sad that it is for such a short tilme. I hope his tour goes smoothly and he is home permanently very soon.

Oh Diana, I love this shot of Dominic. :D Did he make it up the stairs himself? What a sweet age. :)

[cyber-sibes]

Yeah! Daddy's home! Great pictures! Have a wonderful time. Jasmine and Dominic are such beautiful kids.

And thank you, Brian, for your service :) We keep you in our prayers.

[4 Dog Mother]

Oh Diana, I love this shot of Dominic. Did he make it up the stairs himself? What a sweet age.

Liz, I don't know if he made it up or not - they didn't take me along. However, he is a very stubborn and independent little guy, so I am betting he did.

Pat, thank you I think my grandkids are beautiful too. And I will have Brian look at this thread if he has not already.

[pitc9]

Oh Diana... those pictures from the park are WONDERFUL!!!

:D

[Logan]

How wonderful to have "Daddy" home! I know you are all just thrilled, Diana. Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures. :)

[gini]

Jasmine's smile is something Brian can take back in his heart on May 10th.

Yes, Brian, a big thank you for all that you do for us - may we never forget your sacrifice on our behalf.

Your children are just wonderful!
