Finally Home!

After numerous fits and starts, Seth arrived back in the U.S. of A. on the 24th of February. We have him until March 12 when he departs from Dulles for his return to Afghanistan. He had several departure dates from Afghanistan, which were changed for various reasons, but he finally left on Tuesday the 22nd. He trip took him through Kuwait, Germany, Atlanta and finally to Reagan International Airport in D.C. Even Mother Nature is happy to have Seth in the States! After months of complaining about the lack of winter weather and days off from school, the weather has cooperated beautifully. The 24th was a snow day, meaning Jan, Brittany and I didn't have to take off from school to pick Seth up. A major snowstorm starting Sunday night has given us Monday and Tuesday off school. Josh arrived home last night and we've been enjoying some wonderful family time together. Today we celebrated Thanksgiving......one of the meals Seth requested for his trip home. Scroll down for some pictures of the family. Seth brought lots of pictures home and I'll be posting them soon.

Not letting go! After the turkey dinner - you sleep!

The gang's all here!!!!
