My dad arrived Monday afternoon. Christian was patiently waiting by the front window to see the white monster arrive. Dad has a big white diesel and was pulling a white enclosed trailer with him. As soon as he was seen the boys were out the door!
Its been nice having him here and having some adult conversation rather than talking to kids constantly. Yesterday I was able to leave the two big boys at home with Papa so I could go to my stroller class. That was nice.
We ran some errands yesterday. Did some last minute shopping and picked up a few groceries at Walmart. It was packed, which I expected. The boys were fine and we were able to get what we needed and get out.
Today I think we will go to the Harley store. Then this evening we will go to the Christmas Eve service at church. Maybe after that we can drive around a little bit to see some Christmas lights.
I got a few emails from Dominic over the past couple of days. It sounds like everything is going okay. He said that he will be working over Christmas Eve and Christmas day so he probably won't get to call. He will be flying in and out of Iraq. I am anxious to get to talk to him again though. I miss hearing his voice.
I asked Dominic how much down time they have between missions. He said they get about 2-3 days between missions. He said they have TV shows and movies that they can watch. They sleep a lot.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Merry Christmas! Glad that your dad could be there with you. I know Gunner watches a lot of movies over there, and I swear he gets a lot more sleep than I do! Hang in there!
