Welcome home Daddy!

Last week Jay finished the Combat Diver Qualification Course and Madeline and I picked him up at the airport. Madeline has been to the airport so many times in these last five months, but this was the first time picking up her Daddy.

Jay had been gone for about six weeks and we were not sure how Madeline would react to seeing him. I think she remembered him, even if it does not look that way in the picture!

Madeline is having fun hanging out with her Daddy and catching up!

She loves visiting her Daddy at work and is so proud of him!

Madeline was able to show him how she can sit up all by herself for a little while!

More about our trip

We drove back to Havertown and Madeline had another chance to practice her swimming at Conestoga Swim Club. Her Uncle Matt is the manager, so we receieved the royal treatment! Madeline had a great time swimming with Mommy, Pop Pop and Uncle Matt.

Later in the week Madeline met more of her extended family at dinner at Grandmom and Pop Pop's house. She saw Gi Gi again and met her Great Aunt Jenny, Great Grandfather ("Poppy"), and Great Uncle Randy. She was a good girl and let everyone hold her for a little while.

On Thursday Madeline took her first trip to New Jersey to have lunch with my friends, Nicole and Laura. Madeline had a great time hanging out with the girls, and cannot wait until she can eat P.F. Chang's too!

On Thursday night we had dinner at my friends Bob and Melissa's house. I went to high school and college with Bob and was so excited to meet their daughters, Abby and Emma. We tried to get some good photos of all the girls, but Madeline was much more interested in trying to grab Abby or play with her feet...anything except looking at the camera!

We spent the last couple of days just hanging out. We took some nice walks around the neighborhood and to the park. It was a great trip and we had so much fun seeing everyone!
