Daddy's Home!!!

Curtis finally returned from Bahrain last night at 6:30pm after 6 months over there. Korbyn and I spent all day anxiously waiting. Korbyn kept saying "daddy" all day, and when it was after noon, he started getting quite fussy (probably because I started getting impatient). So at 6pm we finally drove over to the gate on base where he would arrive. Korbyn heard the plane, looked over and with a smile on his face yelled "DADDY". Of course, while waiting on Curtis to get off the plane, Korbyn peed on Tami (a friend of ours). So we had to go to the car (parked like a mile away-seemed like) and change his diaper and clothes. I guess it was perfect timing though, because as soon as we got back to the gate, Curtis was walking out. Korbyn couldn't stop loving on him, although he didn't have much to say. He was just taking it all in I guess. It blows my mind how much they look alike. Its almost scary. They are identical. Korbyn kept hugging Curtis and patting him on the back. It was really sweet. They really missed each other, I also missed Curtis as well. It was nice to finally be together as a FAMILY again. Of course, Curtis really has his days and nights mixed up. So we went to sleep about 9 or 10pm and then Curtis was up at 1am. I woke up because he was sitting up on the computer, and I am not ready to miss one second with him, so I couldn't sleep either. Korbyn woke up about 3am. Curtis got him out of bed, and brought him to our bed, where he wasn't so sure about Curtis touching him or holding him. So I took over. Curtis tried to put his hand on Korbyn, but Korbyn pushed his hand away (he is a cranky boy when he wakes up in the middle of the night). However, today he is a real daddy's boy! He wants his daddy in his sight and he wants to be held by him alot. He is warming up, but definately remembers him. i can tell he really missed him. Thank god that Curtis made it home safely & that our family is back together!!!! Now to prepare for our move to Virginia.
