We met him Friday morning coming to class
We hung out with him in between classes while he served duty at the North Gate
Saturday morning he was an usher during the Review
My handsome boy!
Sunday he was a great sport going to the orchard to pick apples. We brought home 25+ pounds of apples in our carry on. One apple crisp was made yesterday. Yum!
On the tractor ride to the apple trees, a boy about 3 pointed to Pumpkin and said, "that man drives a ship." We all laughed. He doesn't drive a ship quite yet!
Walking up to the apples, a boy about 5-6 tapped on Pumpkin's leg. He wanted a high five!
As we finished up picking, a woman asked Pumpkin what company he was in. It turns out her husband, who was there, is the company commander for another company.
We had a great weekend. I felt whole again having everyone together. We learned more about Pumpkin's environment. We savored every minute. I even grabbed a long, second hug.
Delta reduce the airfare and bring on Thanksgiving!!

I am totally sympathizing with you and having to get used to him being gone. I'm sure it is hard. It looks like you had a great weekend and you should be very proud! I love that the little kids look up to him! They should give military family discounts on flights too.
