It is so hard to explain in words what it is like to have your husband gone and basically out of touch and then the next day he pops back into your life and is sleeping in bed with you again. It all feels familiar but different because they boys have grown, I got a job, Micah started school and we have new routines. But we always thank the Lord for our foundation in Christ that keeps our marriage on solid ground.
We are so thankful that the boys have had no problem readjusting and are so happy Daddy is home. About 20 times a day Jacob stops and looks at Darrick and either tells him "I missed you Daddy" or "I love you". They just want to be with Darrick every single minute and go where he goes.
On Friday after we left the ship we came home and Darrick took a 3 hour nap. He had only gotten 1 1/2 hours of sleep the night before because it was his final night of iniation, so he was exhausted. Once he was up we took a walk and played. We were all in bed early after such a busy day.
Saturday late morning we went to the Hale Koa and swam in the pool. The boys had so much fun showing Daddy all they could do in the water. It was so nice to be together as a family and I enjoyed a little time on a lounge chair by myself while Darrick swam with the boys.
This morning we went to church and Darrick was welcomed back by many people who were happy to see him. Jacob and I both took naps and Micah and Darrick have been playing trains. Tomorrow Micah and I are also taking the day off from school so we can have another day together.

It's weird enough having Cathy "back" when she never left... so I can only imagine how different it is for you guys!
Well, enjoy the time!
