surprise visitor

sushi with three of his four sisters

it was a surprise for mom and dad... the plan was to celebrate father's day a week late after mom and dad got back from their vacation, and bill would be at the dinner we had for dad. well it was a suprise alright... there was laughing and crying and looooots of hugging.

bill spent two weeks here in town with the family on leave from the navy... soon he leaves for virginia again, and we won't see him for a long time. we had alot of fun while he was here though. we took pictures, spent time together, laughed and talked about family life, and celebrated the return of "our navy man" as mom and dad like to say.

bill has changed in so many ways... he truly is grown up now, and learning alot about what it's like to live life with all the responsibilities and consequences of being an adult and making your own decisions... as we all are. i am really proud of him, and was so thrilled to have him back for a couple weeks. he spoiled us sisters rotten whenever he got the chance, taking us to sushi and pedicures, and even just sitting around at home, we just loved laughing with him again.
