What do Iraq, seeing fish, and snow have to do with eachother? READ ON!

This last week has been a great one!!! Caleb came home from Iraq, and we all traveled to North Carolina to be there when he got off the bus on base! It was the first time he got to meet PJ and Layci so it was really special!

On our visit there, while Caleb went on base to do some paperwork with Mom and Becky, the rest of us went to the Aquarium. Hunter, Savannah, and Brady had a blast looking at all of the animals and even getting to touch a few. We even watched a snake show, and I, of course, sat WAY in the back! We also saw a show where there were divers who talked about the ship wreck they re-created. They were underwater and had microphones that they talked to us through. People in the audience could even ask questions and they could hear to answer them!!! It was a very neat place to visit.

The rest of our visit there we just celebrated Caleb's safe homecoming and it was great to have us all together as a family!

We left NC on Tuesday and headed to Atlanta to meet our new niece Kairi that was born in January. It was also the first time John and Mae met PJ. It was great to get pictures of the babies together, and for Mae and I to share our experiences as new mothers!

We left Atlanta this morning to come home, but first made a stop to Babies R Us since Tallahassee doesn't have one... When we got out of the car, there were tiny pieces of snow falling!!! PJ got to experience his first snow flurries even though it of course melted before it hit the ground.

(You can't see it in these pictures, but there definitely were snow flurries!!!)

What a wonderful week it has been!
