This is the Ice on the windows at the airport. the plane took an additional 30 minutes to get over to the spot to unload due to  ice on the runways. Thank god they  landed ok.

Wishes come true... Daddys home and spending  all his time with babies...bonding... what a great christmas.

The plane once it got there to drop him off.

Daisy seems to have missed  him too, she wanted to jump on him. He had to hold her still for the picture.

GRAND RAPIDS - One family is getting the ultimate Christmas gift this year --- some precious time together. Specialist James Rogers was deployed to Iraq starting on Mother's Day. Now he's being treated for a back injury at Fort Lewis in Washingston.




His wife Missy and seven kids, including two infant twins, weren't sure they would get to see Rogers for the holiday. But Christmas Eve night, they got an early gift as he arrived at the airport. Although Missy expected her husband, she didn't tell her seven kids until they made their way to the airport.



"Forget about the presents, this is the best Christmas gift I could ever give my kids," she said.



Rogers will be in town for 10 days before going back for more physical therapy.

Jim and alex before he left at my ultrasound

It is times like these that I know why I married him. I think it takes the dedication of a soldier to be this good with 5 step children.
