Thank you LORD for sending yet another troop home. Please carry him safely as you continue to watch over those who keep our country safe. Please bless their families.

I am just so HAPPY for you today!!!:love::D This is one of those PT family events that keep me checking back in for updates.
We're still at the hotel trying to take it easy. Here in a few, we'll head out to get some lunch. Looking out the window, I'm not too excited to go out until tonight though. It just looks so cold and wet!
Anyways, I got woke up at 8 am this morning getting the official word that we need to be at the welcome home ceremony at about 7:30 pm, two full hours before it's scheduled for. So, please keep us in your thoughts that the kids don't get too bored and start acting up while we're waiting. I know at the Fort Hood one the first time he returned, they had a dj pumping out music so the kids were all dancing around. I have no clue how they do it here so it's all going to be new to me! Hopefully there will be something to help with all the kids energy and excitment because I know there will probably be a lot of little ones attending. I also got a text message from Brian letting me know they were boarding a plane and on their way! I can't put into words how excited I'm getting. He's really on his way!
Well, I better get going. The kids are a bit hyper this morning and it's getting to be about lunch time. As I said before, I'll do my best to keep you all updated and I will also be sure to pass your well wishes on to Brian!
Oh, yay! We'll look forward to the updates!
Well, he's back in our arms! The ceremony did take place at 9:30 pm. It was a long wait, the kids were trying to climb all over the bleachers, but we made it. They marched into the gym and I could spot him right away, the one who was limping!!! Jasmine finally got what I meant though about not being able to tell which one was him because they'd all be in the same uniforms. Once they were dismissed, I just stood there and waited for him to spot us up on the bleachers. He made it to us, and Jamsine imediately hugged him. Dominic looked at him and said "daddy" but was a little bit more hesitant to run into his arms. Didn't take long though, as both kids were ready to goof off and play with daddy right away. Finally got on our way back here to the hotel and stopped at McDonalds for a snack. Needless to say, the kids are long asleep now. I guess I'm still just so happy that I feel wide awake!!!
Great news!!!!
Welcome home Brian!!!
Glad to hear he is home safe!!!

Hey Christy ~
Did you think to pack the Kids' SLEDS for the trip?
6" of SNOW is probably a bit of a *shock* for Brian!
Snowballs, anyone?
:D

Last Saturday she called me and was complaining it had rained all day...I told her it could be worse it could be snowing! I got a text from her yesterday about 5pm...just letting me know it was snowing there!Quote:

SAFE TRIP, whoever's going! ;)
And remember, if you're nearby Whitney Point and the weather gets bad - Lady's house - where she and her humans reside - is close! But they are on a long, slow hill, so the highway may be safer driving!
Nope, Mom is staying home with the dogs. I don't think a 10 hour drive to spend the night and drive 10 hours back the next day was her idea of a fun weekend!Quote:

Give the Sarge a {{{HUG}}} from me. ;)
And remember to take the Kids' SLEDS! :D
And possibly a DAWG for company? :confused:
WELCOME HOME BRIAN!!!
I'm glad he returned home safe to you.
Phred, Carl's nuts but not quite that nutty. He is not just going to see Brian but bring Christy and the kids back. They drove Brian's truck up to him so he'd have a means of transportation now that he is back. They don't have a "home" up there yet and may not for several more months. Since he is taking my SUV there really wouldn't be room for anyone but Tucker and he stays with me! Pippi would work except that when she rides in the car she thinks she should either sit on the driver's lap or jump all over. Tucker will lay on a blanket on the console between the front seats and be very good. But then Carl would still need to stop for potty breaks and he just isn't realy patient about that.
I (We) have missed the kids very much (and Christy too). The dogs look at me funny when I try to put them in Jasmine's bed and then try to read them a bedtime story - and boy do they howl when I start the singing. The girl had better hurry back before they dogs all run away.
The other times I look silly is when I am watching Blues Clues and the other shows on Noggin at night holding one of the dogs. The dogs look at me really funny when Joe asks where is the clue and I keep yelling, there! there! Dominic, hurry home, you are missing some great episodes.
