Will was a little nervous at first. He is used to seeing his Daddy through the computer screen; so "real life" Daddy was a bit much to take in to begin with. Posted by Picasa

Jake was not at all nervous and went right to Andy. He was so excited to see him. He couldn't wait to get to the airfield, and didn't know what was taking that plane so long. Posted by Picasa

Jacob had so many important things to tell his Daddy. Posted by Picasa

Andy, John and Charlie. They were so excited to see him again. Andy has a bad habit of talking during pictures. :-) Posted by Picasa

All together again. I have no idea what Jake and Andy were looking at, but they must have thought it was pretty funny. Posted by Picasa

Andy will be home soon

I just spoke to Andy. He was supposed to come home around the first of December, but he has managed to catch an earlier flight out of Kuwait and he should be home sometime early next week. We are all very excited. Thank you all for your prayers for his safety. Please continue to do so. We will update you all when he is back home.

Lightning McQueen, who is "faster than fast" as Jake kept telling us last night as he would run up to people's doors. Posted by Picasa

Will as Pablo the Penguin.  Posted by Picasa

The boys and their friends all ate dinner together and then went trick-or-treating. It didn't take them long to get in the spirit of things. Will had it figured out by the time we left the first house. Will was Pablo from the Backyardigans, and Jacob was Lightning McQueen. Posted by Picasa
