Since I'm at the hotel waiting for Aaron to call us I'll post some pictures of our family. Here are my kids Brandon, Jen, Aaron. Even though I'm the mom, Jen is very protective of her brothers and worries about them just as much as I do. There is nothing I like more than to have my whole family together. August was a early Christmas present when Brandon was able to come home for his 30 day leave, Aaron home for his 2 week leave from Iraq and Jen here from Las Vegas. A Mom couldn't ask for a better present.

We finally have everyone back from Iraq. Aaron finally made it home at 2:00 AM on November 20. We left for the army base at 11:30 and took the buses over to the hanger. The plane came in about 2:00 we waited outside as the soldiers unloaded the plane than moved into the hanger for the short ceremony. After the ceremony we were allowed about 15 min before the in processing began. We once again got on the buses and went over to the mess hall waiting for 2.5 hours before we say Aaron again. Once Aaron was done we helped him carry his bags to his barracks than returned to the hotel for some very needed sleep.
