Is that Daddy's plane?

We drove straight from Temple to DFW Airport to pick up Mike from his week long business trip.  Since we arrived a little early, Daddy Steve gave us directions (street by street over the phone) to the Founders Observatory where we could watch planes take off and land.  It was so cool!  You can also hear the radio transmissions the tower is sending to the planes.  Even though it was 1/2 hour before Mike's flight was scheduled to arrive, with EVERY plane that flew in to land Barrett asked, "Is THAT one Daddy's plane?!?"

The official beacon for the DFW Airport is located at Founders Observatory.  At first I didn't realize what it was (I thought it was just some kind of radio or cell tower).  We had to read the sign at the bottom. Once we figured out what it was...the boys thought it was really cool!!!

We were waiting with great anticipation for Mike to walk through the terminal doors to baggage claim.  The boys ran to him yelling, "DADDY!!!!!"  We're all so glad that he's home.  It's like I can finally let out a breath I've been holding for a week.  I'm so thankful for all the hard work that Mike does to support our family...and I'm soooo thankful that he's back home with us!
