Dad's home

You've been such a trooper during dad's deployment.  Being the oldest, you certainly understand the most and you've done your best to get excited about talking to him on the phone and computer.  You draw him pictures and talk about him all of the time.  During the last few months you will say that you miss dad and have asked how long Halloween is away the entire deployment.  We've told you that dad was coming home before Halloween to try and prep you on how long he'd be gone, and I know that you've looked forward to it.

Dad came home in the afternoon on Friday, and it was the funniest thing to watch you.  The whole night and the entire next day you didn't leave his side for a minute.  Anywhere dad went, you went too.  It's been really nice having him back and I know that he missed you so much while he was gone!
