So I'm finally getting around to posting about R&R, only a few weeks late. It's really hard to describe what it feels like to see the love of your life again after being apart for 7 months, so I won't really try. And I didn't get a lot of good pictures because dang it all if I wasn't going to enjoy every minute and not from behind a camera! So this is what you get.

| Waiting anxiously at the airport. The slowest half hour of our lives! It was so awesome to finally see him appear in the doorway and then just hug him and hug him. Then everybody started applauding and none of us knew what to do. So I started crying and we went home. |
 |
| These two boys are as much in love as they ever were. |
 |
| We did a lot of fun stuff that I didn't get pictures of--ice skating, bowling, the beach, some other stuff I can't remember because I didn't take pictures, and, unfortunately, Chuck E. Cheese. I really don't like Chuck E. Cheese, but this trip was actually pretty good. |
 |
| Pizza and movie night. (Pie and film night?) |
 |
| We got all dressed up (ok, only the kids dressed up) for the Trunk or Treat. Aren't they the most adorable kids ever? I think Forrest should just wear that cowboy costume all the time. |
 |
| We shot off a rocket! Tim had been wanting to do a model rocket with the kids for a while and it was so much fun. Luckily it didn't land on anybody's house and the MPs didn't show up to see who was shooting rockets at the helicopters flying over. |
 |
| Then we got all dressed up again for real trick-or-treating. Forrest couldn't decide what he wanted to be so he got to have two costumes this year. Cuz I'm nice like that. They got a ton of candy, of course. And I stole a lot of it, of course. |
 |
| Once Halloween was over we moved right on to Christmas. We made some ornaments and put up the tree. Tim gave the kids their presents from him. I'm glad we got to share a little bit of Christmas with Daddy. |
It sure was hard having to say goodbye again when the two weeks were over, but we really did have a wonderful little vacation together (key word: "little"). Just can't wait for the next homecoming! We miss you, Timmy!

So sweet. I laughed. I cried. I love you guys. You're in our prayers all the time, but extra super much love goes to you during the holidays. Your husband is a real hero.
Looks like you took full advantage of your R&R! And I can't wait for your next homecoming either :-)
That's great - so happy for you. Looks like you made the most of the time together, with a mix of activities and chill time.
May the months fly swiftly by.
