Here's the whole family from last week. Wow, is it great to have everyone together!

For those of you trying to keep the twins straight, Andrew is in blue, Nathan is in red!

Thanks for your prayers!!

David back with his family!!

Today, January 9, 2008, was a special day for our family. Just before 8am this morning, after a 19 hour drive from Colorado Springs, David and Susan got back and were fully reunited with their kids. It was so awesome to see him again.

Gretchen asked him this morning "Did you think about this moment while you were in Iraq?" He smiled broadly and simply said "All the time!"

Around 9am, we all got together for what we came to call "Daddy Christmas." Nathan and Matt are here, Gretchen's parents joined us, Susan's parents were there and it was just a joyous time to be together. We opened presents, talked, had breakfast, talked and just enjoyed the hilt out of being together.

Here is David with all three kids. Drew is pretending to have binoculars, while Nathan and Berneice look on.

I realized we don't have a lot of good closeups of Berneice for all of you. There is a reason...getting an 18 month old to sit still for any period of time is a challenge.

Yet, here is a nice shot of her from this mornnig. Quite the darling, eh??

And here is a brief video I shot, which includes David, Susan, the twins, Nathan, Matt and Gretchen. Yep, David's home, and it is grand to have him.
