Pictures!

Here are the pictures... Enjoy!

Arriving Home!

You have to love the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport -- so simple. This is the gate that Josh came through. At the point of this picture, Josh's flight had just touched down.


Check back in a week or so, once I have the camera cord for a video of his arrival.


Visiting Marathon


It took Josh a bit to get out of the vehicle.



Uncle Josh and Francesca
The boys didn't know what to do -- Jonathan is on the floor!



I had to include this one... just tilt your head!


This is my Dad coming home for work... Mom came up the stairs and Josh followed.

Needless to say... it was a surprise!



My Dad and his protector of the plug-pullers are reunited!

Dustin arrived and continued chatting up a storm until he realized who was sitting in front of him! If I quoted what he said, we would need to include a "beep" or two!

Uncle Josh and Dominic being silly!


Arriving in Virginia


Josh and Mom

Meeting and holding Takoda for the first time


Jim, Jen, Mom and Jesse




Takoda and His Playmat (from us!)






The Newseum

This is part of the Berlin Wall. Each of the panels weighs 3000 pounds!


The view from the Newseum...



A news helicopter... looks small, but it is real!


Getting Takoda Ready for Bed (with Aunt Jen's supervision)






A visit from Wendy!






The Baltimore Aquarium

This a very old sea turtle and it is a lot bigger than what this picture actually portrays.


This is actually a fish, but looks like a rock!


NEMO!

There are a few more photos and video that I will share in a week or so. And no, sadly, out of 294 photos, there was not one of Josh and I together.

Okay, I just cried my way through that entire post. Thank goodness there weren't that many captions to read, because I did better with photos than with words with all that water welling up! Thanks for posting those beautiful photos. When Josh gets home, we'll take lots of photos of the two of you . . . but until then, remember that you are in EVERY photo, because you took them, and those smiles were directed toward your lens! (PS Takoda is absolutely adorable!)
