He's home!!!

 This is what I have been waiting for! I am sitting here blogging, watching Josh wrestle the boys from the "Nanny Cam" in their room on our TV...

 ...I woke up this morning to someone BANGING on my front door. I grabbed my cell phone and tiptoed to the door where I could hear Josh's parents talking about how I don't answer the door.  Since I could hear it was them, I opened the door & stuck my head out.

 Carl said, "Happy Birthday! We have a surprise for you!" And honestly, all I could think was "it's six AM and it's NOT my birthday." Lucky for me I was too tired & out of it to express these thoughts and that's when I saw him. All the way from Bush Alaska my travel weary husband, still sporting his fur hooded North Face jacket & sub temperature Sorel boots.

I covered my mouth with my hands and said, "I'm not wearing very many clothes!" (I was only wearing underwear & my nursing tank top.) From the back I could hear Laura's reply, "I don't think he'll mind!" And with that he opened the screen door & I threw my arms around him as I shook & cried, "I can't believe you're here!"

I can't believe he's here.
