Steve is finally home! After four months in Iraq, Ryan has his daddy back. Steve came back last Thursday afternoon. They were scheduled to land around 1:00p.m. but didn't end up landing till 3:00p.m. It was a challenge keeping Ryan occupied for two hours while we waited anxiously. The balloons in the squadron definitely helped. 
We got to walk right out to where the jets park after landing to greet the guys. It was very loud due to the jet noise. Ryan was offered ear protection but didn't like them!
Steve flew about nine hours from Iraq to Spain on Wednesday then flew about ten hours from Spain to South Carolina on Thursday. Due to the cold weather this time of year the pilots have to wear a dry suit because of the flight over the Atlantic (just in case they would have to eject).
Ryan seemed to remember his daddy but was more interested in the jet.
