Home on Leave

Poohy was recently home for 2 weeks leave time. I was so excited to have her home!
I must start out by thanking the passengers of that homebound Delta flight. Upon arriving at our airport, the people who had been sitting with Poohy were so excited for her to be home, to see her babygirl,( its been almost a year now!).. that they all stayed standing and allowed her to exit the plane first, What a beautiful, random act of kindness!!There really are so many goodhearted people left in this world!
My heart just jumped at the sight of her coming down the concourse.. my babygirl was home. That night my son came over to spend the night with us all, and for the first time in a longggg time, I slept like a baby. I had all my children under my roof, safe and sound.

The next two weeks flew by, we packed everyday with as much as we could. I treated my girl to a day of pampering, ..massage, getting her hair done, nails & toes. I felt she needed to get the royal treatment, to maybe make her feel like a "girly-girl" for a few days before heading back to the desert! Then there was Halloween and we all went "trick or treating". Punkin was a beautiful princess!Lombardi and her beautiful babyboy went with us, and we had a fun time.
Punkin had her 3rd birthday while Poohy was home and we had a grand party for her.All the family attended, and was a nice reunion.
Poohy also met up with a fellow soldier from her unit stationed with her in Iraq,also on leave , and a few soldiers from her unit who are stateside. She caught up with her best bud, SPC. Lombardi, and they all had a great "girls night out".

It was so hard to take her back to the airport, leaving again to complete her mission. But we all knew in our hearts that the time away would be much shorter this go around.
We are counting the days til we have our girl home for good. Just a few more months to go... I can hardly wait!

Merry Christmas

Id like to take a moment to say "Mery Christmas and Happy Holidays" to all of our Military Service Men & Women. I pray that your holiday has been a bright one . You are all in my prayers, those here at home and serving abroad. May God watch over you and keep you safe. May He return each and everyone of you home to your loved ones, safe and sound... and very soon!! Punkin sends her Greetings to you all!!
