Army brat

Griffin is home from boot camp! My mom and Tim went to his graduation in South Carolina, and the three of them flew home last night. My dad and I were so anxious to see Griffin we got to the airport over an hour early; we then sat with our eyes glued to the arriving passengers, thinking every guy in camo gear was him. Finally Griffin showed up, in jeans no less.

We discussed yelling at him to "drop and give us 20" when we saw him, but we opted for hugs instead.

My brother wears dog tags now, how weird is that.

Apparently the first thing the army teaches you is how to carry big heavy bags.

LOL, can we dicuss the picture of Griffin getting off the plane and your Mom and Tim scatted in the background. He looks so good! I honestly got a little choked up when I saw those pictures, I love Griffin.

THANKS for posting so quick - Griff looks great and I was a choked up myself looking at those sweet pictures with you, Griff and dad. We need to see you guys.

Malia, we will not be discussing the awful pic of me in the background looking lost and dazed.

Griff was going to wear his ACU's but thought he would have to pull off his combat boots in security, so he opted for his civilians or "civie's"

Erica thanks for beating me at my posting of Griffster!
