So he has been home for a few days now and he has done so many things.
He has wrestled with Iae, and played video games with him daily.
Woke up this morning to lots of rawring and roaring and giggling.
Came down stairs to a red faced little boy, pinned under him as he says.. " Do you give?" Iae of course shouting "NEVER!"
Followed by "MOM look what he is doing!" To which I respond. "And? You got yourself into this you can get yourself out, I know you. You picked this fight."
Then mass grunting and rawring and flailing about as iae tries to get free and then tried to pin Ko.
Wolfbite has been more subdued since he has come home, she tackled him when she saw him. Now its more of "Hey dad look what I did." and "Hey dad can you help me with this?" "Hey dad can you and I do this?"
I find I spend time watching him sleep a great deal too. I wake up to make sure he is there and then fall back asleep.
Our nights have been filled with family games and tv show catching up :pets the dvr:.
Tonight was a sign of just how relaxed he is right now.. He fell asleep watching Tv with us. Woke up and apologise to us for falling asleep. We all looked at him like he was crazy. I think Iae said it best though. "It's ok dad, we can do something tomorrow. We are just glad you are home and able to rest. No stress dad, no stress."
Our wedding anniversary is in 4 days and I look forward to every day of the time he is home. I am trying hard to not think about the fact that he has to leave again, to return to Afghanistan. And that his job has changed and everything from this point is all new and unknown.
But for now I am going to and watch him sleep because I am not tired yet. I will hold him in my arms and I will listen to him breath. I will memorise his every rise and fall of his chest as he breathes, the way his hair sits when he sleeps. Every curve and line of his body will be once again committed to my memory. And all the pillows up against him to capture his scent.
Rest well my love for tonight I keep watch over my Soldier, it is I who is on duty now. I will keep you safe from harm and I will guard your back.
Sleep well my soldier for you are home and within my fortress of love now.
Sleep well.
We are all home and safe and resting.
Ko has been sleeping for the past few hours; jet lag and all that stuff.
Kids where very excited to see him when they got home from school.
Got a phone call shortly after 9am letting me know that his flight had been advanced by several hours and that I would need to pick him up at 1pm instead of 7pm.
So.. He is home and we are so very glad of it. Every day of the next two weeks is going to be a precious one.

Soak it up ;)
Hi, Ko! Hi, Ko! I'm so glad you're home!!!
We are going to leave at 4pm PST to drive the 45 minutes to the airport.. This will put us, hopefully, there two hours early for Khornesone's plane that is supposed to arrive at 7pm PST.
I have a copy of his orders already in the car.. I talked to a rep from the airport and with those orders, and the id cards.. I am told we will be allowed through security via a pass we will need to pick up at the check in desk.
So our intentions are to meet KO's plane at the gate itself. He knows we are going to try for this, because I didn't want him walking past us in the confusion of all the people getting off the plane.. As if the kids would allow him to slip by them.. oi..
: smiles:
Khornesone is on his way home for two weeks of R&R from his deployment. :)
He will be home sometime Thrusday or Friday, we do not know the exacts yet until later today.
I can say this though, he is currently NOT in Afghanistan. :D

Yeah! :) Glad he is coming home safe.
Yes it is official...
I am now the parent of... Two Teenagers.
Today my son turned 13.
What did he ask me? "Mom are you sure I cant join VR until I am 16?" I responded. "Yep" He then said. "OK." I said "Any time."
Now.. why did I say no to him when my daughter and husband are here on VR? Well its simple really. My son, I love him with all of my heart, is not of the maturity level I consider ready for VR.
He is a brilliant boy and sees VR all the time. That's one thing.. Its entirely another to have him running a muck here on the site. So for now he can watch over our shoulders without any issues.
Now.. I am going to go cry as my minions are getting bigger.. and soon they will be as tall as me if not taller.
: Sighs goes and picks up Starwars Legos and Lego Miners Legos.:
Who knows.. maybe he will creat some VR tribute out of legos...

*hugs* aww, i know how you feel, it is hard to see them grow up. But may i ask a question? What will you tell him when he turns 16, reads the VR manual and see's the age is 13? lol
LOL allow me to clarify, he knows he can join at age 13. He was all excited a few months ago when he remembered that he can join when he turned 13. Then he and I had a talk about the things that are on Vr. Everything from the different people, to the different information and the profiles and so on.
But as his parent it is up to me to judge his mental maturity for a site like VR. After a discussion with him and taking into consideration other contributing factors, Khornesone and I sat him down and told him he had to wait until he turns 16.
He was hoping I would have changed my mind. ;P
Why did I think of this scene while reading the above: "Its entirely another to have him running a muck her on the site."

HAHAHA yeah.. that about covers it.. LOL and we just watched that movie recently again. HAHAHA
*Chuckles*
All I can say Silverbow, is 'Good Luck!'
(Jay Kay)
That is a good idea as boys mature slower than girls....I still wont let mine join here though...lol that would be in another six years anyway before they are able to.

This is as it should be. This anniversary should be the best, as it is one of the few that you have had together.
