Colleen, try and submit another picture without his name. If it's going up on this wall yes, the whole Navy 4 Mom's can view it. If it's going on your own profile page, than you can choose who can view it. Trust me, I found these things out the hard way when I wrote to all of you on this wall. :) Deborah, thanks for the link. Sally, if your out there, did Craig re-join the sub yesterday?

Hey, ladies. I just got a note from the admin telling me I have to blur out Aaron's name on his picture. I don't know how to do that, so the picture will probably be taken down. Bummer. I thought only you guys could see the pic, but I think the whole Navy Moms can.

Hey, check out my photos. I just put Aaron's picture there. This was the day of deployment.

Double yeah! I thank God they are finally home. I got a picture of Aaron from shutter fly, which I am delighted with. I'll put it up for you all to see. Aaron will come from a visit June 1 to June 6. He will be here for Jessica's birthday and graduation. June 4 we are having a party for her and everyone can see Aaron, too.The pic of Aaron is one of his best. He called last night rejoicing that he could take a long shower and go get some new clothes. We can't wait to see him in the flesh.

GOOD MORRRRRRNING AMERICA!!!! Well "OUR BOYS" are Officially HOME!!!!! Apparently there is a shutterfly site that was created so everyone can post their Homecoming pictures on. As soon as I get the Link from Chris's GF, I'll pass it on. She sent me two pictures of the sub and Chris from her phone to mine yesterday around 5:15pm. eastern time. We had made a Welcome Home sign for Chris and had my grandson hold it while I took a picture on my phone and sent it to Hillary's phone so Chris could see it. Christopher looked great & sounded great, but he said he didn't get to much sleep the past couple of days & was totally exhausted. He had to go back on the boat to shut everything down, which would take a couple of more hours. By the time he called us back it was 11:00pm eastern time, he was ready to drop in bed. He is coming home June 4th, for a couple of days. WAHOO!!! We will have a barbeque on Sunday with the family and close friends. Everyone have a GREAT DAY!! Love To All Of You!!!!

Thanks, Susan. It has been quite a journey. I hope everyone will keep in touch. Stay tuned for more pics.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!! I was so shocked, when my caller ID showed Chris's #!! Their "official" homecoming is still a couple of days away, but I just couldn't believe Chris said he was home.What a great surprise!!! Chris will be home June 4th, but only a couple of days, b/c then he will be going to Charleston to meet up with his GF, as she will be moving out their with him.At least we will see him for a couple of days. We will have a big Sunday barbeque with family, relatives and close friends. It has truly been a remarkable memorable journey with all of you. You have all touched my heart in so many ways. Deborah, make sure you keep in touch with us as J ventures off to his new destination. Chris will be with this sub for a while. Sally,I hope Craig caught up on all of his sleep, it sounds like he will be very busy with all of his assigned duty's. Colleen, I would just LOVE to see your face when you see Aaron get's off the plane!!! I am just sooo excited for everyone!!! :)

I think J must have duty too as I have not heard from him. His wife texted my daughter to let them know that their get-together plans would be delayed. I guess he has to stay on the boat :( Can't wait to hear from him. Can't wait to see him and give him a hug!!!

Aaron called us today from CA, so the boys are home! I'm going to take pictures when he comes to visit and post them here for you all to see. He's coming June 1-6, although on the sixth he will leave very early in the morning. At least he'll be here through Jessica's birthday and graduation. Share with us your sailor's visit! I'd love to keep hearing from you all. Love
