"Uncle Derek"

Then....

Tim has a friend named Derek...

they have been friends for about 11 years. They were great friends! Just before Tim and I got married in 2002, Derek enlisted in the Army and moved out of town :( .... he ended up stationed in Germany. He was in Germany for many years. They kept in touch without fail! Derek moved back to the US a couple of years ago- he lives in Missouri! He came and visited last summer (2010) for a few days, then after Christmas we didn't hear from him... at all! It was so strange for the last 8 months- not a word.

Now...

This morning, I had the kids go to room time to play. They had been in there about 5 minutes when Xander yells, "Mommy, somebody is here!" Tim was at work until 11am, and I wasn't expecting anyone, so I peeked out the front window. CLUELESS still, I had no idea who it was. This stranger knocks on the door. SCARED to open it, I cracked it open a little bit with my foot behind the door so I felt a little bit safer opening it. (mental note: need a peep-hole) ANYWAYS, after a double-take, I realized it was Derek! He had a beard & long hair now! I yelled, "Oh my gosh, you're alive!!"

Of course the kids came in and attacked him...well, the boys attacked him.

Bella hid in the bedroom under a blanket! LOL...she cracks me up! I had to bring her into the living room to sit with me, but she wouldn't even look at him. After right at about 30 minutes, she finally warmed up to him! The kids adore Uncle Derek! He plays with them & makes them laugh, so they love him to death!

AND, after that half hour, Bella loved him too! Tim and Derek went shopping and out for lunch so they could have some guy time together!

Tim was thrilled to see his friend! Derek spent the day here visiting with the Bunch!

It was a great day spent with a great friend!!
