Clinton Apple and Pork
Sunday we decided to take the kids to the Apple and Pork in Clinton. They both wanted to ride the horses (the only real ride there). I was surprised they both did so well! They were very excited and it was a first for both of them!
Collin Turns 6
When you as a 6 year old where they want to eat for their birthday, most of them would say something like Chuckie Cheese, but not Collin. Eric and I asked him where he wanted to go and he said Alexander's Steakhouse. He wanted to go where you cook your own steak over that big grill. So, that is what we did! He enjoyed every minute of it! He is getting way to big to fast!!
Eric is HOME!!!
Eric and his unit returned home on Sept. 11th. They were deployed overseas for a year. Below are some pictures of the Welcome Home Ceremony and also how the kids and I decorated the house when we got home! You will notice there are no pictures of Collin. This is because he was throwing up during the ceremony. Him and his bucket stayed in the stroller the whole time. I felt so bad for him! It was very emotional! I did not think that I would cry, but the relief of him being home and getting our lives back was so overwhelming!
During this deployment, I think all of us have learned many things. We not only learned how strong we each were, we also learned how much our family can endure! We missed each other like crazy, but I think this will just make our family stronger! Don't get me wrong, some days were a real test for all of us, but we made it through!
It is so nice to finally have my family back together!!! We are more thankful for each day that we have together!!
