This is the day that I had hoped we would get, but was told we would not, and then was told we would. The ship is back home for a few weeks before they head out on a 6-7 month deployment. Yes, life in the Navy can be completely unpredictable!
We arrived at the pier around 1pm and could see the ship off in the distance; we knew this meant that we were going to be waiting quite a while. The ship was delayed multiple times due to heavy fog in the Puget Sound, so by the time Dan finally got off it was about 3:30pm and Alex had crashed in his stroller. Dan woke him up when we got to the car and he had the cutest little grin on his face. He was soooo happy to see his Daddy!
After grabbing an early dinner, we headed home and let Alex finally open all his birthday presents. Alex loved everything he got. I believe his favorite was his tricycle from Auntie Sarrah and Uncle Joel. He has been eyeing them for a while and it was perfect timing. After opening the gifts we let him go outside and play in his new water table and push around his new bubble lawn mower; if only the lawn mower really cut grass and I would have an excellent little yard helper!
