WELCOME HOME CEREMONY

Ok, here are the pictures of the Welcome Home Ceremony. The gym was packed with family and friends. We were right up front with our sign.

Chris was photographed by the news because he had the best sign and was just adorable waiting there for the entrance of the soldiers.

The soldiers march in and line up, they sing the Army song and have a 5 minute ceremony before they are dismissed to their families. It's fun trying to find your soldier; half the time you can't. And those 5 minutes feel like eternity!

Chris was so confused with all the soldiers that look like Daddy! It kinda freaked him out but once Daddy was face to face with him he was ok.








Daddy and son's first embrace! It was priceless!!!!

The family...minus MiaLuz...
Chris agrees, he's not as light as he used to be...
The first meeting with MiaLuz....She didn't know what to make of him at first, but it didn't take long before she went to him.
What a cute picture. She's so adorable.
