There's a special someone flying overhead. Hohoho!
No, not him.
Look up and wave to my boy as he flies over your house please.
He's on his way to spend Christmas with us before he enters basic training in the Spring (who knew there was such a demand for basic training that one would have to wait in line for a space?). Dad's not deployed, there are no new babies, and we're not moving to a new house. I expect this to be a wonderfully calm visit.
After he lands and is tucked into a nice warm bed, THEN the "winter of the century" can move in--with my blessing.
For your viewing pleasure, I'll leave you with some more great British advertising:
Now, feel free to get back to your baking and wrapping and the mental insanity of it all. Don't you just love the wind up to Christmas?
Ha! The flash from that camera threw my eyes all whirly--I thought it said--"barking and wrapping".......which for some odd reason made me laugh really hard...must be the holiday stress...
ReplyDeleteMy son is leaving for basic in Feb...
ReplyDeleteI am afraid this will be our last Christmas as a family. My older boys are starting lives that will have them TDY.
Yay!!! I can truly imagine how excited you are. I hope it's a wonderful visit and Christmas.
ReplyDeleteif he's flying over MY house, he has seriously miscalculated his trajectory.
ReplyDeleteglad he's going to make it home - have a wonderful holiday!
I love it!
ReplyDeleteHi number one son! Fly safely! Feel free to stop in Tulsa on the way back!
I imagine he's there by now, or nearly so, I would think, but I waved anyway, just in case.
ReplyDeleteHope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas, J! :D
Safe travels to your son.
ReplyDeleteThe video was down when I tried it--I'll have to watch it later
Definitely better than Santa. And more clean shaven.
ReplyDeleteSooooo happy for you all to be together! Wishing you the best!!!
ReplyDeleteI like that I rounded off your followers to a lovely even, round number. Plus, my favorite number is eight, and 1+7+0=8, so clearly, the stars aligned to bring us together. I read a comment you made on Blog o Cheese and found you stinkin' funny. I've got family in the Air Force and a gaggle of sons, too. So, once again, meant to be. :)
ReplyDeleteoooh, hope you guys have a great christmas!!! i am sure the younger ones will love to have him around =)
ReplyDeleteLove it when the kids come home for Christmas...I can only imagine how much more special it is for you!!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and enjoy!
I waved, I waved!! How exciting for you all - enjoy a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOh yay!!! I am so excited for you! I hope the boy had a wonderful flight and you are all together now enjoying everything magical about the season. Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you! He is long gone now. But I hope you enjoy him while he is with you.
ReplyDeleteCurses! I failed to go outside and waver...
ReplyDeleteYour son has joined the service wowzas! You have a very dedicated family. Salutes to the men and the flyboys up over head! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeletewonder what miss Ky will do when she grows up? I can see her parachuting out of planes.
Yeah, the wind-up to Christmas was good, but I have to say, I prefer the wind-down. (Scrooge-ness, Scrooge-ness.) Thanks for signing up to my blog. Great to meet you!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to say, I approve of your blog's background - all those lovely books ...
