One Last Visit

Scott was able to come see us one last time before he heads overseas. He's been in training in the states for a while. We didn't think he could come, but it worked out that he could come see us for a day and a half, and it happened to be on my birthday!! It was great.

I picked Scott up at the airport by myself and then drove back to my parents house to see the kids. Matthew was taken a little by surprise when Scott came in, but as soon as he saw his daddy, he scrambled down from the chair and ran over, squealing, "Daddy! Daddy!!" It was priceless.

Anna, who has just started with a little bit of separation anxiety, was really funny around Scott. She would smile and coo at him until he looked over at her, then she would hide her face in my shirt. She was really happy to have him hold her though, and kept giving him "kisses" by pushing her forehead up into his face. It was so cute to see that she remembered him (even though it's only been a month) and that she loves him.

It was a very short trip (about a day and a half) and a little bit of an emotional rollercoaster (is he coming? is he not?), but still so worth it. We love you Daddy (and Scott)!!
