Our Trip to the Zoo

He's Home! He's Home! He's Home!

That's right after 14 long months our Solider is finally home! He got in at 4 am on Christmas morning! The kids were so surprised! It didn't last long though. The presents under the tree were calling their names! The kids are having fun picking on him and playing with him. Especially Abbie. She's such a teaser. Marks been eating allot of Taco Bell and sleeping as much as possible. Thanks to all who sent care packages packed with goodies we had to buy a whole new wardrobe for him! LOL Of course he says he didn't get bigger the clothes got smaller. He already went hunting. He was only home for 3 days before he couldn't resist. I thought we would have at least a month before it started but oh-well. I made him take Skylar. Next time I'm going to try to sneak in two kids! We went fishing yesterday. Actually the kids fished and we untangled lines and baited hooks. The dock where we went had some very friendly wild life. The ducks wouldn't leave us alone. They were only 5 or 6 inches from us. The big one tried to eat my toes! They kept swimming across the lines and getting them tangled up or wrapped around their legs. Cloey tried to "shoo" them away it was really cute. I'll post some more pics later.
