September 3 - Welcome Home David!

On September 3, Jackson and I (along with many others) went with Mary Kay and her family to welcome David home from his year of service in Afghanistan.  I kept saying that Jackson was going to meet his "Uncle David" for the first time.  We wanted to dress as patriotic as possible so Jackson wore red and blue and I wore blue and white.  Jackson did great while we wanted for the group to arrive and then through the welcome home ceremony and visiting afterwards.  Jackson laughed for the first time while we were at the hanger that day.  Before David arrived, Jackson and I got into the cockpit of a chinook helicopter like the ones that David flies.  I have included some pictures below from the day.  I know that this will be a day that I will tell Jackson about when he gets older.
