Uncles to the Rescue

I was told that the last little bit of a deployment are the hardest to get through, but I didn't understand how that could be. Until now. I completely understand what my friends were talking about. You're so, so close, but time seems to have slowed down to an agonizing pace.

I hinted heavily that I would love some company to help pass these last few days away and the uncles came to the rescue. They arrived this afternoon and after a few minutes of uncertainty, Grace warmed up to them and has absolutely loved all the attention she's gotten.

Introducing the uncles to my favorite yogurt place, Mochi.

For most people, a night out eating pizza and frozen treats means a tighter waistband, but apparently the opposite is true for Grace. The girl's shorts kept falling as we took a walk.
