Joe returned home after serving a year long tour in Camp Bucca, Iraq on May 29, 2008. It was close to midnight when Joe's flight came in... but we were very much wide awake and excited to welcome him home. Damon was so excited as all the men were getting off the plane, that he was shaking with tears coming down his cheeks, as he kept say over and over "my daddy...my daddy." Nothing is better than seeing your kids reunite with their dad. Damon still asks Joe and I all the time about Dad going back on the plane. It is hard to explain to Damon that Dad is home for good this time...no more leaving. Halle is warming right up to Joe. He can make her giggle so hard. It has been wonderful having Joe back home. I am definitely not complaining.
Damon, Halle, and Joe reuniting for the first time!
Best Friends, Damon and Joe
Joe with his mom
Our little family is back together! We couldn't be more ecstatic!!!
WELCOME HOME JOE/DAD......WE LOVE YOU!
