Daddy's Home!

I don't know if this is true for all airports, but at ELP, family of service members are allowed access to the boarding gates. Barry didn't know this, so we surprised him by meeting him at the gate instead of at baggage claim. The kids were incredibly excited to go through the metal detector (weird, I know) and couldn't wait to see the planes through the windows. We got through security just in time to see Barry's plane on the runway. He was overwhelmed (in a good way) by having all 4 kids run to him as he walked through the gate.

Thanks to everyone who prayed for a safe flight!


The boys wanted to know why they couldn't ride this plane.


"That's Daddy's plane!"


The kids almost tackled Barry. Bryan's there--look for the red fire truck shoes. (Sorry it's blurry!)
