Happy Homecoming Day... 3 Years Together

The anticipation has really been mounting for our third Homecoming Day.  More than ever, the kids really seem to "get it" this year.  We've decided to have a campout in our backyard.  Among other things (not sure what) this will involve sleeping in a tent, roasting marshmallows and Scott playing the guitar.  You'll have to check in later to see how it goes.  Specifically, if I make it through the night... on the ground... in a sleeping bag!

Here's a few blast from the past pix.  These were taken in Russia, at the end of June 2008.  Just days before our homecoming.




 I just love how squishy Lexi looks in this picture.  
You may note that she is wearing pajama bottoms because all of the clothes I brought for her were either way too big or dirty. 


Here's Scott, pushing that piece of junk (but a lifesaver nonetheless) stroller through Red Square.  
If you could jump inside this picture and fast forward about 30 minutes you would notice it was getting quite crowded.  Then, you would see AND HEAR Justin throwing a monster kicking and screaming tantrum because Scott wouldn't let him push the stroller through the crowd by himself.  
Okay now, we all know it's bad enough to be "that family" at the local Target... but in the middle of Red stinking Square!?  Thanks for that one Justin!

Happy Homecoming! The Mocs are such an inspiration to so many. My God continue to bless your family as he has so abundantly done so already!

Happy, happy Homecoming Day! Love the pics. And love squishy SashaLexi, pig-tailed Nataleeza, and yep, screamin; Genya-Justin. Thankfully, he's definitely made up for that Red Square day with lots of hugs and kisses since ;-) Love you and can't wait to see you when we all get back.

So - it was you and Lexi who started the pajama-jean craze! :-)
