Uncle Mike

Mike is in the navy. He came home on Sunday December 16, 2007. He is going to be here for a month. When he leaves again I'm not sure where he will be. Maybe back to Japan for now. Any ways the point of this blog is that I didn't realize how much my children missed their uncle mike. When we see him they can't stay away from him. They want to sit by him even if that means they have to sit on him or on the floor.

I think that is so sweet. I talk about mike to the kids when he is gone and i show them on the map all the places he is. But I wasn't really sure if they remembered mike. I know now that they do remember him and they had missed him very much. They have made him cards and they are making him a Christmas present. They are very proud of uncle mike.

The other day we took Nana and uncle Mike, and Sara, and Steve to breakfast. while we were eating and conversing, somehow a story about kaelina and a stranger had been brought up. Well mike was enraged. He did not like what he was hearing. He wanted to know who this person was. I know that nothing would ever come of this, but I was so happy that he felt this way.

Mike has really grown in the last two-two and a half years. He left as a kid. Talking to him now it is so weird and different. I mean it is good but it is weird to think of mike as an adult. But he is just that-an adult. I know he feels bad about leaving his crew (or whatever that would be called) But I hope that he enjoys his time home.
