He's Home!

Our hero is home.  A sweet, sweet reunion for us all.  The Homecoming in photos (in reverse order, because the best happened last!):

DADDY!

Millie and Christopher wore matching necklaces...two halves of a heart with scripture engraved on it.  Here they are, putting the heart back together again.

Christopher's best friend Nat rode the last few days of deployment with him, called a "Tiger Cruise".  So we got a bonus visit with Uncle Nat, too!

It happened slowly, but eventually Hannah warmed up and snuggled right in.

Oh my dear boy.

Four generations, including Christopher's Grumpa, a WWII Navy veteran.

Waiting, waiting for that ship to get secured.

Hannah's hanging with her Uncle Joshua, watching the Enterprise make her final turn into port.

The almost whole family, with Christopher somewhere on board that ship behind us.  We did it!
