Jimmy's Homecoming

Mommy's cousin Jimmy came back from Iraq on Saturday, and here are some pictures of the Homecoming that his friends and family threw him. Mommy was really sad because she could not be there to give him a big ol hug! A strange thing happened at our house, though. Mommy and Daddy had a yellow ribbon tied around their front tree for Jimmy that they put up right after Jimmy deployed to Iraq. A couple of days ago the ribbon mysteriously untied itself and fell off the tree. There was no wind or anything that would have caused the ribbon that has lasted 7 months to fall off!!! Mommy took it as a sign that Jimmy was safe and was definitely coming home! We are SO relieved that Jimmy is back on our good ol American soil, and we are SOOOO proud of him for all of his hard work over in Iraq. He is definitely a hero to us!

The pictures that I am posting were sent by Jimmy's mom, Debbie. The pictures show Jimmy's "Homecoming Committee" who stood on the corner by Jimmy's house to greet the vans and buses carrying the soldiers, a picture of the Harley Davidson parade that led the vans and buses full of soldiers into town, a picture of Jimmy and his dad Jim, and a picture of Jimmy with my Grumpa, Grandma and Auntie Cris.
