Adam Coming Home!!!

So finally on May 21st Adam was able to come home! Yeah I was so excited! I had decided that it would be better not to tell the girls he was coming because I new they would just ask me about it 24/7 and be upset when I left to go to the airport. He wasn't flying in until midnight and then we stayed at a hotel next to the airport. We had webcam while he was gone but this was the first time he saw me and my big belly. It was fun for him to feel the baby move. It was so nice that he was home.
Thankfully my parents were able to watch the girls and the next morning we were both anxious to get to my parents house and see the girls. I had thought Adalyn would be surprised but would be ecstatic. I also warned Adam that Ellie who had a very hard time with Adam being gone and cried for him constantly would probably cry and not want to go to him. As you can see by the videos, that's pretty much how it went.
I new once the girls got over the shock of him being home that they would not want to leave his side. Once again it was Ellie that really struggled with that, if Adam even got up to go to the bathroom she would have a melt down.
We had a fun week together in Oregon. On Sunday we saw my sister Kristy and her kids. Then on Monday we just spent the day together, shopped around and Adam just played with the girls. On Tuesday we went to the beach and spent a night in an awesome hotel with 2 bedrooms and it was right on the beach. It wasn't the best weather but we didn't let that stop us from enjoying our time together. On Thursday we went to Eugene and spent the day with Jay and Chelsea and there kids. Then on Friday we spent the day getting the van packed up and ready to leave. Adam on that Saturday would be driving to California to our old base to out-process and then drive to Kansas to meet us. I flew out Sat. with my mom and girls to close on our new house and get all of our stuff delivered from the moving company. My mom stayed a week to help me get a little settled.
It was really hard to not be with Adam consistently but we new that it would be that way and that when he got to Kansas he would only be with us for a day before he would leave for Alabama for 2 weeks for training for his new job. The girls struggled with this a lot and hated him coming and going. While he was gone for 2 weeks I just kept getting unpacked and taking care of everything that goes a long with moving. I was 33 weeks pregnant when we moved.


In this video you can see that the girls were surprised, but when you see Ellie walk to me and it stops that's when I picked her up and she started crying so hard, and burried her head in my neck and wouldn't stop. Adam tried to comfort her but she just gripped me tighter, finally I thought if I made her go to Adam she would be okay well her reaction to that is in the next video!


I felt so bad. Ellie has always been very sensitive and Adam being gone for so long has really affected her. After about 30 minutes Ellie finally calmed down and went to Adam and didn't leave his side again!
