Daddy-O's Delayed

Well, Don's homecoming has been somewhat delayed. He called around 1:15 a.m. today to say he was in Kuwait. I was glad to finally hear from him and know what was going on. Apparently, he was not able to get out of Baghdad on Wednesday as originally planned.

He was able to e-mail a flight itinerary to me from Kuwait. I was kind of out of it when he called and he seemed a lil confused on which day it was (here). So, I was originally under the impression that he would be in today sometime around 4 p.m. but when I looked at the e-mail he sent it actually says Saturday at 4 p.m. So, I'm still not sure exactly when he will arrive.

The boys and I have been having a great day nonetheless. Samuel slept from about 7:30 p.m. until 7 a.m. today and Benjamin actually declared that it was daylight when he woke up (around 7 a.m.). Finally a pretty good night sleep (minus the middle of the night phone call from Daddy-O, but I was glad to hear from him).

Samuel took a good morning nap today and Benjamin and I made cookies. Daddy loves chocolate chip cookies so we made some of those and some with mini- M&Ms for Benj.

They are both down for naps now and I think I will try to catch up on a few things too.

Thank you all for your encouragement, support, prayers, phone calls, e-mails and sharing in the excitement of Don's return for R&R.
