Our 1st Day down.

So lets start this off right....Vinnie told the kids good-bye Friday night as he had to be at work way to early to get them up and dressed just to have 30 minutes of family time for me to pull them off of him before getting on the bus to head to the plane. Most people thought that was not the right thing to do...but we did what was best for our kids. After waking up way to early I go downstairs to a sick puppy.....my thought at 0345 is..."Is this going to be how the next year is...I am going to need more then Maker's to get me thru it! So I did a quick clean up and kissed the love of my life good-bye.....I finished cleaning up the sick puppy mess....and tired to go back to bed before the kiddo's got up....I however got a little bit...don't know if it was from the lack of sleep the days leading up to Vinnie leaving because I was sick or if I just cried myself to sleep. We all get up and have breakfast.....I got the wonderful news that the plane was delayed......and it sucked sooooo bad as I could have walked thru the woods and been able to see him and the plane....thats how close to the airfield we are. As the plane is coming up over the trees Connor pointed it out and was waving his little heart out.
We then got ready and made our lunches and headed to Forsyth Park downtown.

So sweet

After the wonderful lunch and playing in the park we tired to headed home but I was trying to be cool and find my way home a different way and got lost...But Connor was able to see:

So once we where going the right way we headed home to just hang out for the rest of the night and watch movies...But to our surprise Vinnie called us from Ireland. The kids where so happy they got to hear his voice.
