These are pictures from Tyler's return. We went to Houston yesterday to see the soldier's being escorted in by police motorcade. Tyler was on the second plane to arrive so this happened around 3 p.m. It was much too hot so Annabel was not able to make the trip with us, but Mel and I, along with Carly and Colette we able to see him arrive. I can't begin to tell you how good that hug felt knowing that I would not be telling him bye again, at least for a while. His unit has 120 soldiers and they were all treated free to dinner at Golden Coral. It was so emotional seeing them all enter and the customers and workers cheering for them. We stayed the night since this morning their was a program to welcome them home with speakers and a luncheon.

Cathy, I am sitting here in tears! What a beautiful homecoming. The look on Annabel's face ... her little hands on his head ... THAT is love. :)
Beautiful pictures. What a wonderful home coming. So happy. Those pics of Tyler and Annabel are just something else. So genuine and warm.
Reminds me of this video of another handsome soldier saying good bye to his little brother with trisomy 13 as he heads off overseas.

It is these pictures, with siblings that convinces me more than anything just how special these children are.

Welcome home!!!! Those pictures were AWESOME :)
So very happy that your handsome soldier son is home and being well-loved by his wonderful family!!! You all look so, so happy but Annabel looks ecstatic to see Tyler. Such a special love and relationship!
I have to agree with the others that the pictures of the two of them brought tears to my eyes. Those little hands on his face. Oh! And the sparkle and warmth of his eyes as he looks at his sister. Beautiful!
Please thank Tyler again for serving our country and for protecting all of us back home. Those soldiers are so appreciated!!!
God has blessed you and Mel with truly amazing kids!!!
My heart is bursting with joy as I look upon their faces! Such precious moments. So thankful your son is home safe and sound.
Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful gift you sent to Ashley Kate. She opened her eyes and pointed to it then closed them once again. Just seeing them open and the recognition in them for even a moment blessed my heart. Thank you so very much for loving my baby girl. Trish
I am so happy for you and your family! I am so grateful for his service and safe return home!
