Welcome home Pete

My little brother, Pete, is home after his first deployment as a Marine. He was in Okinawa, Japan for 6 months. It was hard not having him here to meet Ashley when she was born (he didn't get to meet Mya till she was 2 months old too). But it's so nice when he is home. He got home late last Wednesday and we went over Thursday to see him.
Here he is holding Ashley for the first time.

Michelle holding and meeting Ashley for the first time too.

Mya chillin in her car seat from Nona's car.

It was so nice seeing Pete and having him see Mya again, last time he saw her was end of December. She's changed SO much since then.

My parents had a party on Saturday for Pete, Thomas was there. Ashley and Thomas were chillin. Thomas was amazed at Ashley's toes and Ashley was cooing like crazy at him, it was adorable!

Who's taller??? Thomas is almost 3 months older than Ashley.

always making a crazy face in pics.

watching their crazy uncle Pete

Mya was being silly too.

They started talking about this new thing that kids are doing, it's called planking. Someone will just plank at some random spot.

Joey's turn

Even Ashley wanted to plank!

This whole planking started when Mya was 'flying' on the coffee table and Alexis screamed out, she's planking!!!! LOL!! too funny!!

Good times as always when Pete's home. I really miss him being home all the time. It sucks only seeing him a few times a year. I'm counting till he's home for good, which is about another year and 8 months!
