I took the girls to the Gaylord Opryland Hotel on Friday as we awaited Rileys flight into Nashville. We spent the day swimming & exploring the jungly hotel...it was a lot of fun. After some flight delay , Riley made it to the hotel a little after midnight. Ry wanted to look at his girlies & when he was checking out sleeping Ellie she instantly woke up (of course)! A huge smile stretched across her face b/c her Daddy was finally home! She hopped out of bed & lots of hugs were given...& then presents were given as well... a swimming manatee bath toy, a marching wand & gummy worms...could a girl be happier? They played for a half an hour & then off to bed with Ellie (this was a battle).
Skipping to morning...(tee hee...those middle details are unneccesary)
The next morning Saedi (who is a mommma's girl) took right to Daddy. She just kept smiling & kicking & doing her "yaaaaay" clapping show. We swam all morning, checked out of the hotel & headed to ride Thomas the Train at the train depot. Ellie had fun on the train but we didn't stay terribly long...it was hot & we were eager to get home.
Ellie summed it up this morning when she whispered to Riley, "Thank you for coming to my house, Daddy."

Aww, that is too sweet! Glad he's home!
Praise God!
So precious - your family is just beautiful!
Yeah! Sounds like the perfect weekend. :)
Yay, he's home. Happy Labor Day. Hopefully he got the day off. One day off for how many away? It's a good thing we tough army wives don't keep count. Well, I just keep losing count. Let me know when you guys want to go on a date night.
Glad to hear your family is back together, all under one roof! Praise God for safety while you were apart!
Hi Michelle and Riley! We are so glad Riley's home!!! The photos are adorable. Many kudos to you, Michelle, for being much more than a full-time parent the past few months...I am amazed at how well you do it...especially when it comes to traveling by yourself with two!
