Hans is back!

Hans is back from his TDY to Korea. We are so happy to have him home. He got back late Wednesday night. Funny thing is that his bags didn't make it with him. So all he had to bring home was his carry on backpack. The kids couldn't wait to have the bags arrive because they overheard him talking about presents in them. The next evening they finally came to our house. We had to open the presents right then.

First Hans showed us his suit that he got custom made for himself. It looks really nice on him.

He is pretty excited about the suit and we are looking forward to a night out where we get all dressed up. I can't wait.


Then he gave the presents to the kids. Gavin got these musical balls. Hans has a pair at this office and Gavin loves them. He always plays with them when we go visit Dad. Now he has his own set and he takes them everywhere right now.

The girls got these really pretty jewelry boxes. They have already found jewelry to put in them but now want more.
Tristen got his very own jersey. Number 21 is the same number Hans was in high school. Tristen thought that was pretty cool.And on the back it says......

Hans thought this was pretty cool and so did the kids. So he got all of them one.Here is our Winkler teamHans brought me back a musical jewelry box, an outfit for the cruise we are hoping to really go on, and a beautiful wrap (not sure what they are really called).

We are really happy to have him home. This was a short TDY (2 weeks) for us, but a busy time of year. The kids have talked Hans' ears off during the first few days. He is still adjusting back to our time zone. Friday night he was up from 2-6am so yesterday was a long day. Luckily we had some fun to help him overcome his jet lag.
