He's home!! and some other stuff

Ok, so I am a little behind in THIS update, but Mike made it safely home on January 4th, EARLIER than planned. He was supposed to arrive at 5:30pm, I was there at 5:30 pm, he was there at 5:15pm! Not a great homecoming start! Anyway, I only took Nick, so that he could meet his son for the 1st time without the other children trying to get facetime. When I got him home, Kinzie was a little scared, but Charlie was THRILLED to see his daddy, FINALLY home from work!
He started back at work this week and we are settling into a routine. Not too many months left here in Germany. We are hoping to see a few more sights before May rolls around. Hopefully we should learn what our next duty station is, in the next month or so!
Anyway, enjoy the pictures, and I will try to keep this blog more updated!

Wearing Mike's hat

He always sticks his foot up when he eats, this was after the jar food!

Self-feeding

Sheila wasn't feeding him fast enough, so he

grabbed the spoon out of her hand and fed himself!

Going to pick up daddy after work!

She didn't want her pic taken, so she

was running from the camera

We had a girlie movie night, Nick got to come, as did ALL that candy!

We got that hat for Charlie at Mike's basic training graduation, when he was 8 days old! ALL my kids have worn it.

Nana bought Charlie those shoes, he couldn't wear them, Kinzie couldn't wear them, my friend's son couldn't wear them, but they fit Nick perfect, 4yrs old and never been worn!
