Isaac and I woke up Wednesday after a fairly peaceful night's sleep. He woke up once and ended up in the bed with me, confused about where he was, but willing to initiate a sweet kiss to poor mom, in essence saying "thanks Mom for taking care of me without basic baby necessities, I know this is hard". We drove to the post and I got my first glimpse of Lawton in the daylight. Hmmm, Oklahoma is very brown. Flat and brown, no green anywhere. No leaves or shrubs, just dirt. Mountains in the distance. They're brown too. Fort Sill was awesome. I had to go through two security gates and was directed to the Inn where the Family Day events were being held. All the families of the graduating soldiers were there, buying t-shirts, ordering graduation DVDs, milling around, waiting to see loved ones. We were welcomed by the battalion commander and "briefed' by the platoon commander. They'd put together a demonstration of all the training and that was neat. I took pics but the lighting was awful so they're pretty dark. Finally, the platoons entered in dress uniforms and were released to their families until 9pm that evening. It was a sweet reunion for us and Isaac went to Bo right away.
What?
Getting tired here....

Push ups
Daddy! I like your shiny buttons
So glad to see him!

The end of a great day. See the mountains?
