Melissa and Turk

Saturday at 1am Cruz and I left, along with 2 other girls, to drive up to Camp Lejune to see our Marines come home. We had only expected to spend a couple hours with them, which quickly turned into 3 days of bliss! Cruz took to Chuck just as any son would with his father. I was so happy to finally see my boys together. It was a moment that can't be put into words. Cruz was then taken by every other Marine and passed around. His now the most popular baby at the base. We had a wonderful time spending it as a family. Chuck is doing great considering all he's been through. He is a natural at being a father. He's so proud of his little boy and we are of him. Seeing the smiles on all the boys faces when they stepped off that bus was worth the 10 hour drive. My hubby is now safe and sound. We drove back today and Chuck already misses the baby. They will be coming home this weekend sometime and we can finally take Chuck with us!!
