Welcome Home

He's BACK!!!!  Matthew flew into BWI and got a grand welcome from Operation Welcome Home.  (Make sure you check out the slide show, the pictures are great. And the best part?  The validated every one's parking!!!)  Matthew has had an exhausting couple of days back.  He got back to Sea-Tac at 11:01 on Wednesday, 20 August.  We finally got back to the house just after one am.  Jameson was asleep on the couch and was so happy to be woken up by daddy.  We were on the road by 0830 for an appointment for Jameson.  He had a speech evaluation where we were told that though his speech is at the level of a three  year, six month old child, he would not qualify for any services.  Then off for some in-processing for Matthew.  Then off to the overseas clearance office to find out what the "bad news" was with the paperwork.  Evidently, my dentist thinks I am going to have a dental emergency in the next 12 months and Ramstein denied our package.  So, we had to schedule a second opinion dental evaluation with the military dentist.  (Guess what, there is nothing wrong with my oral health; my dentist evidently is a money hungry jerk).  So there was a lot of running around to do.  But, at least it kept him up so he can try to adjust to the time a little quicker.  At the end of the day, Matthew changes his first diaper in a long while.  I heard shrieking and commotion coming from the other room as I made dinner, followed by, "What the...?"  Matthew found a penny in the diaper.   I guess that is his tip.  Even Ian has adjusted to having daddy home.  He initiates play with his daddy and is doing so well.  Everything is looking up.  Now we just need this house to sell....
