Patrick and the guys made it home last night safe and sound. We enjoyed a meal of grilled steaks, grilled zucchhini and a big salad. They were craving some serious vegetables after 2 weeks in the field!
Nora was excited with all the attention and she played with Justin, Mark and Brian. The weather was gorgeous as we grilled outside. It feels SO good to have Patrick home. I"m glad I went out East for the majority of the time he was gone, as being here with the kiddos and dogs alone was a lot of work. It sure is nice to have Patrick's companionship, humor and support with parenting.
