Sad To Leave, But Good To Be Back

We made it back to Saudi safely and fairly easily.  Aden required a little more attention and a few more outfits than on the way to Wisconsin, but he did pretty well.  He even slept through the night last night.  He must have been exhausted from the traveling because it is currently 4 am and he and I are both up.

I (Jamie) was a little nervous to come back because I wasn't sure I would be ready too and thought I might regret signing another contract, but it felt good to be back.  After being here for almost two years it felt like we were coming home.

We want to thank everyone for making our trip so much fun and for loving on our little boy.  We were so glad to see everyone and share Aden with you.  It is nice to share pictures, but another thing to let people see and hold him and watch him smile.  If we didn't get to see you this time, we hope to this summer.  And if you didn't see Aden smile this trip, hopefully he will be in a better mood for you this summer.  His little smile is pretty amazing.  Tara already says he can get whatever he wants from her with that smile, we'll have to work on that before he starts talking and asking for things.

Enjoy the pictures.

See what I mean about that smile?
