Derek's Home!

My kids were beyond excited when they heard Derek was coming home, the first thing they said was "yes he will be here for Christmas!" Poor Derek is having trouble sleeping, he has really bad insomnia and can go days before being able to sleep. So they felt like for medical and health reasons he needed to come home, he can go back out if he can get feeling better. WE had 2 days notice so we turned the play room into his room, and my kids were so excited to have the big TV and the Wii in their room. Jared flew to NYC to get him and we waited all day to go get them from the airport, their flight didn't come in until 9:05 pm, so my kids were going crazy waiting to see him. We made posters for him and decorated his room, he is not into stuff like this at all, but kids are so I didn't care if he did, not being rude but Jade was just so excited to get balloons( they had to be purple and maroon, his 2 favorite colors), and she wanted to make signs for his room, and to take, she is darling and loves Derek!

Cherie and Nicole came with us, it was so exciting, it was crazy to think it's been a year since we have seen him. We went to the baggage claim and anxiously awaited them coming down the escalators, it was funny cause there was 3 escalators so whenever we saw a crowd coming down we would race over with our signs, after about 4 different sets of people, it was finally Jared and Derek! The kids were a little shy but within 5 mins. they were climbing all over him and hugging him. We Love Derek!

Just sitting and waiting for them to come!
