We were so excited for Paul to come home on Mothers Day. I spent the week tidying up the house, and yard so we could enjoy the first few days with out having to do house work. My nephew's birthday lunch was Saturday, and so the kids and I went to Olive Garden to meet everyone there. We sat down, ordered our drinks, and then someone came up behind me and whispered in my ear, "Have you ordered yet?". At first I thought it was the waiter, and I was thinking, "You are too close buddy, and you know we haven't ordered yet!". But upon turning around I was totally surprised by Paul, who had pulled a fast one, and changed his flight. It was a great surprise, and the kids were equally shocked to see him there! It took Briya a few hours, but by the end of the first day, she remembered her dada. Paul just wanted to be at home, so we spent a lot of time just hanging out together. We spent one weekend up at his parents land, and had a great time riding around on the four wheelers. B was having a hard time with the fact that he couldn't ride alone, but he was a trooper with mom behind him slowing him down. Having Paul leave was harder the 2nd time! We miss him terribly, and he has had a very difficult time getting acclimated back to life in a war zone. We are counting down to his 2nd visit on August 4th. We're hoping this summer passes quickly, so he can be home again.
