The reunion with Brian has been great. He and his family arrived last Friday. He kept a journal while he was over there and had many pictures. He brought us a US flag he took with him on his first mission and gave it to us along with the arming pin off one of the JDAM's he dropped that first night. He'll be getting us a certificate signed by the crew and the squadron commander when they all get back. Little Leila was a little shy of him at first but adjusted quickly. Because of the jet lag he was sleeping a lot during the day and she would sneak into his bedroom just to watch him sleep.

They are leaving today to go visit in-laws and we will be joining them for a big crawfish party this coming weekend. The only damper is that his brother is still in Mosul in Iraq and will be there for a while yet. The one silver lining in that cloud is that Jeff has been promoted to SGT since he's been over there.
