Out to dinner

We went out to dinner on the 19th and here are some photos of us before we left. We are all so very glad to have Larry back at home with us!!! He is a true blessing to us.

Victoria loves getting dressed-up to go to dinner. :) She really is pretty!

Finally Home!

We have a Hero and he is our Daddy!!!!!!

Finally Larry is back at home with us!!! It took him many days to get here and we tried to be patient while waiting. Victoria was so excited to see her Daddy and Temperance was... well, she was pretty mad at him! She was not so happy to see him, but she eventually warmed up and she is all about loving her Daddy again. :) Here are some photo highlights from our first day with Daddy back at home!

The balloons were a HUGE hit for the girls!!!

All dressed up and ready to go meet our Daddy!

I had custom shirts made for the girls. They say "My Hero" on one side and "My Daddy" on the other. Priceless shirts. I love them!

They crack me up. Victoria was soooo excited she could hardly contain herself.

Well I guess I could get dressed up too! I spent hours searching and bought two dresses in the end. This one however was perfect. It has a scroll on it that says "Love Comes First". Is there anything more perfect for homecoming than that?

YAYAYAYAYAYAY. Larry is HOME!!!!!!

Our FIRST self-portrait (well this time around anyway)

Yes, we can ALL fit in the picture! We are just that good.

It has been a LONG deployment this time and I am more happy than I could ever explain to have Larry back at home. It is AWESOME!

Dole Plantation

We went out to the Dole Plantation and here are some photos from our adventure.

Victoria got to feed the fish. She was super excited. :)

Hair cut for Victoria

I took Victoria on Friday to get her hair cut. She had the oldest hairdresser ever and the lady was so old she had Victoria stand in front of her while she (the hairdresser) sat in the chair. It was funny to watch Victoria's face during the process. The lady kept telling her (a 6-yr old) to stand still. But in the end it was worth it and she look super cute!

The following picture of Victoria was taken before her haircut. I let the girls open their Valentine's boxes on Thursday night. :) They had a lot of fun.

Temperance makes this face when she gets surprised. I love it. :)

We are still counting down our days until Larry returns home. It's getting closer all the time. I just wish I had a more definite return-date to count-down towards. :) Soon though!!!

Hair cut

I went and got my hair done for Larry's soon-to-be-return. :) Here it is!!!

3 is better

Here is a pic of my beautiful little Victoria. She is going to cut her hair off this weekend.... sigh... look for pics of that to come!!!

I know, she is awesome & cute... and wait.... is that pig tails????

Not when you are rockin' three!!! LOL. It's like a fun surprise in the back. LOL.

Sometimes three is just better. Like Larry having three girls in one house. See... three is better. :)

Loves my Girls!!!

My girls crack me up on a daily basis. They are always doing something crazy and fun and it is a honor to watch them grow and help mold their little lives. Here are some photos of us being fun and having a great time together. :) Temperance's hair keeps getting lighter and lighter. It is now a dirty blonde color!!

It is hilarious when Temperance decides to finally smile. Victoria has it down as always!

Yummy, yummy, yummy!!!!!

This is our paper chain until our Daddy gets back home. Victoria cuts off one every day. I made it a little long in case something happens and he gets delayed on the way home. We are getting closer!!!!
