The baggage claim area of the Naha airport is situated behind some glass doors (where your family/friends will wait for you if you are meeting someone here). The glass doors are "guarded" by some nice ladies who will check your baggage claim ticket (with the one on your bag) to make sure all is in order...
Well, our girls... the moment they saw their dad through that glass went running under the line tape and burst through the doors with shrieks of excitement. I don't think anyone was worried in the least (how could you be... they were so darn excited) - at the same time I am crying my eyes out (behind the glass doors - because really, someone has to get the bags...) the girls are engulfed in hugs and kisses from their one and only daddy who (as Alessandra profoundly states) is "back from Iraq". And life is good.
Daddy and Olivia enjoying some time (and food) at our favorite spot - Daisy's (of course)
Mommy and Alessandra (no photos please!)
We hit a local festival the weekend after we got home. Much to our delight it was the same event that was our first Okinawan experience last year. Feeling a little more "at home" this time around and we couldn't wait for the good "Okinawan eats"
I had to get at least one photo of crazy Japanese shoe selection. This is going to be one of my new projects - trying to catch good photos of the ladies in their shoes... heels at the beach... common to see... and painful to watch. (these are a small example)
Cute Japanese kiddo donning a mask...
Preteens in their summer festival outfits..
On the walk home... a marker at the park.
Loving sisters...
It got a tad bit darker as the sun went down... here we are... almost home...
Oh, so happy to be home!

I love it! I got teared up reading about you four re-uniting. :) Makes me smile makes me tear up all at the same time. So happy your family is back together!
