Back to work

Nathan arrived back to his first day of work and found this little guy sitting on his desk waiting for him. The note read "I've been keeping an eye on things since you've been gone."

The backstory involves me asking one of our friends who was deployed with Nate to get the necessary pictures for me to order this bobble head. I lied and told Nate I needed his head shots to learn how to cut his hair. As you can see below, he was not impressed with having to take the posed photos.

Poor Rob, our friend who took the photos, it looks like he got a mouthful after those shots were taken, he got a care package of girl scout cookies for all of his trouble :)

A week or so later Nate was in the drop zone getting ready to go on his first Blackhawk jump. I'm stuck at EVERY jump for the FRG so I got photos of the whole day!

Walking out to the chopper...

and away they go!

and walking back after a safe landing.

Shaking the chute out, I'm sure my Dad remembers this :)
