Yesterday I mentioned how hard it is to be apart from Joe when he is away, but I didn’t mention how much I enjoy getting ready for his return. I like getting the house set and making little preparations that I know are important to him. It helps build the excitement and anticipation of him coming home and allows me to think about the different ways that I know him so well. But even my excitement seems a bit dull when I compare it to how excited the kids get.

Yesterday we went to meet Joe at the airport and the kids were running sprints back and forth in the airport they were so excited. Thankfully it is a small airport and almost no one else was there! Here is a video of how excited they were to see him.

Enjoy your loved ones today,
